Here is what Simms sent to Chicago Marathon organizers. No word on Mo Farah, whom Simms also represents (he hasn't been brought through media area in Chicago).
"Galen DNF’d due to a calf strain. It started tightening up after 6 miles, he kept going but by the 23rd mile was unable to run any further and had to stop.
"Jordan felt a sharp pain in her hamstring after 2 miles and had to stop. She stretched and tried to go again but was unable to run."

This is the result of them missing their pre-race massages.

That’s sucks. I feel bad for both of them. I hope they ignore all the haters on these board and make a full recovery in time for the trials.
Maybe they shouldn’t have picked a cheater coach....
I kinda feel for Galen, since he’s undoubtedly been brainwashed by Salazar since childhood, but dude’s obviously a cheater, and probably has very little life structure without Salazar there.

I hope they don't. Good riddance!
This silly once or twice annual racing, secret training, unavailable to the press.
Who needs them?
We’ve got a new group of runners with personalities to cheer for.
Goodbye Galen and Jordan. Nice knowing ya.
What is the point of limited racing when you can't even finish the one race you target. When was the last time Rupp even finished a race. A year ago?
Biggest frustration I have with something like this is that after all the shady things Galen/Hasay have been associated with there are fewer mentions of the amazing performances by Riley/Mock/Bates and instead we talk about these other athletes who abused the system.
Best wishes to Galen and Jordan in their recoveries. They both work incredibly hard. They are also very good people. Those who know them agree they are humble, gracious, and upstanding people. Godspeed in their recoveries!

Eh. Give me medal contenders or change the station.

Are you being serious? Can't tell.

Yeah. Look at how often BTC runners race, and how open they are about their training!

I think that was less about BTC and more about stinsonati and the 2:10 boys

Bingo! You know, right before the surgery with the long recovery period.
I bet he didn't even get surgery wrote:

I think he’s thinking about the Boston 2018 DNF, but forgetting about the same year’s Prague and Chicago races.

Umm.. dude was injured. Not a fan of his but damn it’s pretty transparent the guy had surgery and rehabbed to get to this race, might have been too soon!
If this is legit and not some NOP conspiracy thing then they must be insanely fit and can pick another marathon to run in a couple weeks.

Hasay maybe. Galen is coming off of major surgery - this is likely the last we've seen of him until the Trials.
what do you expect? This?
"Galen DNF’d because he can't take the pressure off from the Alberto's scandal. It started immediately after USADA made it public. he kept going because he has a clause in his contract made him run.Right now, he is rte-thinking everything about his running career"
"Jordan felt a sharp pain in her soul after the USADA report and had to stop. She tried to save face but was unable to to so. She is considering becoming a hippie."
Ladies, gentlemen, this was as predictable as it can get.
