Unnamed NOP pro on Mary Cain- “she’s such a wuss.”

Naps are important.

Yepper.

So now a citizen is not entitled to their own opinion of others, because it might not be

nice...…

Whoever it was, they were only calling a spade and spade. Cain herself has fessed you to her wussiness.

I’m hoping it was Rowbury. She’s got moxie and races like a warrior. Once and always a fan.

She can be entitled to her opinion and her opinion can also make her a jerk

Maybe she didn’t see what was going on then, which is doubtful bc a lot of the stuff going on was pretty public within the group. But it’s pretty telling that she also hasn’t said anything now.

I get that she still runs for Nike but she could offer a simple- I had no idea how bad this was for you, I’m sorry.

I feel for Cain but I also see Rowbury's point. Rowbury is in her thirties and running is her profession; Cain, her coworker. She didn't sign up to babysit. You can feel for someone and their issues without making it your own problem. Sometimes if you help someone too much they come to rely on you and I think this is a lesson many of us have learned in our lives. Shannon probably wanted to get through her workout without theatrics and take care of herself. Simply put, this wasn't Shannon's problem.

As usual, the first reply is the best.

If I’m a world class athlete and a wussy teammate is having a breakdown because of a workout I’d be mad too. Cain was disrupting everyone’s workout. If you can’t hack it then get out.

I heard from somebody who traveled with Rowbury that she has a half page long list of TUE s.

Would be better if she had said she wanted to get home to catch up on LRC sh*tposting.

Rowbury is awesome

This sums up the issue. Mary thinks everything should have been revolving around her. But the NOP was bigger than her. These were trained professionals , this wasn’t daycare. Nobody is gonna hold up a workout while you have a temper tantrum. Telling that she’s now even throwing her teammates under the bus.

My respect for Rowbury just went up 100%.

Saying it like it is. Go get em!

an unnamed teammate

This whole notion of "teammate" (NOP) in an individual sport is sorta ridiculous in the first place.

Ok, maybe Galen bought into it, and helped Mo when his shoe fell off, but beyond that, you aim to win, not to be (Nike-paid) escorts for those who do.

I’m a parallel universe where Mary Cain kills or seriously harms herself, is this still your response? I’m sure it was a little annoying. But you’ve also got a teenager being publicly berated for her weight and having a mental breakdown over it and you don’t extend even a- ‘you ok?’

Sorry Shannon is a jerk. She used to be bigger before she came to NOP. I’m sure it’s just whatever she was on.

NOP, old news, most if not all of the athletes using banned substances, lets move on and discuss running

I heard the same thing from the security guard in my brothers office. He got it from the pool maintenance guy who works 4 blocks from place she gets her nails done.

Anyone who's been in a training group with whingers, wusses, drama queens, narcissists, etc knows to stay well away from them, especially when they start with their dramatics.
