So, this is odd... I got the link today to the finish line video for my 5k. Looked at myself, usually I look like a shambling zombie by the end of a race but this time I looked almost perky, that was nice. What's odd is that I looked up my AG winners out of curiosity and my AG was won by a tall, athletic young man visibly wearing the bib number of the AG winner for the female 50-54 winner.
Also, the female masters winner is slowly walking a dog, and clearly her 23 minute time is her walking the mile walk, not running the 5k. And the second place finisher in the AG is also a walker with not a hair out of place. It's theoretically possible that both of these women ran like hell for the first 2.8 miles and then slowed to a casual walk when they turned the corner in view of the finish camera, but it seems damned unlikely. The course was set up so the mile walk started 15 minutes after the 5k and has the same start and finish, with the middle cut out.
I reported the man. The woman whose bib it was has run a couple of other local races and ordinarily runs 13 minute miles. It seems weird that anyone would deliberately cheat on a charity 5k, so maybe she gave her bib to her son or something without realizing he would win the AG. If he just ran with her bib that would be one thing, but he actually took the award away from the next person...
Wow. Cheating is sooooo frowned upon... I'm glad you caught it and reported it. I dont see how when they handed the AG award for a womans AG, they didn't notice the man wasn't a woman...
You can always post that on FB or uh, another runners site, I cant remember, letsrun maybe, if you dont get satisfaction.
No that just makes me depressed, "hobby joggers"? I dont find dead bodies for a hobbie. Although, I wouldn't be opposed to such a thing. But then, I think, I'd be a canine.6 -

Yeah, this thread is a gem on the net. Been part of it probably a year now, not sure, and it always has been supportive.
WELL, THERE WAS THAT WHOLE INSULTING MY HOTDOGS INCIDENT but, eh, nothing is perfect I guess.

Hey people. Joined a couple years back but never really got entrenched in the community. I'm hoping to be more active this time around in an effort to keep me motivated, informed, and to simply share the love of running with like minded folks. Running for me has been a huge help to me in dealing with life stresses, and the physical benefit sure doesn't hurt.
I started running again in May after a good 8 to 10 months off. I had a few injuries that then led to general lethargy (laziness!) that kept me away. Things have been good since I started up again. The biggest thing, my legs feel great. I have been keeping an eye on my distance and times but I haven't been dwelling on it. The main thing I've been doing is trying to run only when I feel good, and trying to take better care of my body through good eating habits.
Having built a solid base to work off of, I'm looking forward to adopting some monthly goals to push me into the next year.
- 80 miles for the month. At 42 currently but I've been slacking.
- Long run of at least 11 miles.
- No injuries14 -

@RunsOnEspresso - Congrats on winning!
@rheddmobile - I'll never understand those that cheat; for some great reading and head-shaking, try Marathon Investigation.
@Safati - Welcome!
@charpenelopee - Another welcome!
@KWKirkbride - And yet more welcome!
Can't wait to make a post where I don't mention the word 'humid'. Ran with the group this morning after the usual solo stint, and the woman I was pacing on Saturday felt bad that she couldn't run the race properly, so tried giving me money to pay for my entry fee. I couldn't take it; she can donate it to charity if it'll help ease her conscience.
Also, not sure if anyone here uses Achievement or not, and apologies if it's been brought up before, but if you want to get paid for your running, and you're a US resident, then create an account and link your Garmin/Fitbit/Strava/MFP account to it to get points. Sneaky referral link
. Every 10,000 points can be redeemed for $10...not going to retire on it any time soon (takes me about two months to earn that many points), but it's free money to my PayPal account for doing something that I would have been doing anyways, and it'll pay for a race entry per year.

And there is another one called Running heroes - also get rewards for connecting your Strava etc. and its international (nah nah nah lol). here is my sneaky referral line... [url=" https://nz.runningheroes.com/?r=1&code=rJQh8uBS7"] https://nz.runningheroes.com/?r=1&code=rJQh8uBS7[/url]
ok I dont know how you do those fancy links...
ETA they do challenges where you can win prizes by completing runs, and you get coins to use toward vouchers - easy to build up.1 -

Ketchup is only for French fries. No eggs, no macaroni, no hamburgers, no hotdogs.
Just sayin'.5 -

C'mon Sarah. I love you. Don't make me regret it... Ketchup is not a food. Mayonnaise is for french fries. Salsa (maybe on eggs, franks red hot is best), macaroni? What? Who puts ketchup on macaroni! Burger? Ok ya i like a nasty messy burger with ketchup, mayo and mustard... So alright... I still love you. Dogs? Nah. Never catsoup.😊0 -
Who knew condiments were SO controversial amongst we runners?
Get it out y'all. @PastorVincent started it, again. 😆
Whats your poison?
In the morning, I shall still respect each and every one of you ketchup eatin' fools. Scouts honor. Oh im not a scout. Haha!
My DD loves ketchup, I've teased her through the years, if she needed a nipple for that ketchup bottle. My ex husband ate white crackers and ketchup. He was a yankee. I guess they didnt have chips and salsa where he came from! Haha!3 -

lol. hot dogs in NZ is different, they are like a corndog, just a sausage on a stick covered in batter (not cornbread) and served with tomato sauce.

Yeah, this thread is a gem on the net. Been part of it probably a year now, not sure, and it always has been supportive.
WELL, THERE WAS THAT WHOLE INSULTING MY HOTDOGS INCIDENT but, eh, nothing is perfect I guess.
Oh fill me in, I missed that one!
Oh lord. He eats his dogs with ketchup. So we had a whole mustard/ketchup team thing razzing him.
I'm voting for kraut and spicy brown mustard this time.🌭
lol. hot dogs in NZ is different, they are like a corndog, just a sausage on a stick covered in batter (not cornbread) and served with tomato sauce.
That I'm down for.1 -
Unplanned rest day yesterday as after my daughter’s soccer game some storms rolled in. It was 91F and humid, so created quite the storms. Much cooler today (mid 60’s) and overcast, so a very nice run. Planned on four, but felt good at the turnaround point so added an extra mile. Likely pushed a little too much, but it felt great and it was getting dark quickly out on the path.

Letsrun would probably make fun of it being that it's a local 5k and they can be snotty about what they call "hobby joggers". It's definitely NOT a supportive group like this. Glad you reported what you noticed to the race directors, though. I wonder, did the lady the number belonged to accept the award - maybe the race has a facebook page with pictures?rheddmobile wrote: »5 trail miles at the lake, hot but otherwise lovely. Going for my stretch goal of 50 miles.
So, this is odd... I got the link today to the finish line video for my 5k. Looked at myself, usually I look like a shambling zombie by the end of a race but this time I looked almost perky, that was nice. What's odd is that I looked up my AG winners out of curiosity and my AG was won by a tall, athletic young man visibly wearing the bib number of the AG winner for the female 50-54 winner.
Also, the female masters winner is slowly walking a dog, and clearly her 23 minute time is her walking the mile walk, not running the 5k. And the second place finisher in the AG is also a walker with not a hair out of place. It's theoretically possible that both of these women ran like hell for the first 2.8 miles and then slowed to a casual walk when they turned the corner in view of the finish camera, but it seems damned unlikely. The course was set up so the mile walk started 15 minutes after the 5k and has the same start and finish, with the middle cut out.
I reported the man. The woman whose bib it was has run a couple of other local races and ordinarily runs 13 minute miles. It seems weird that anyone would deliberately cheat on a charity 5k, so maybe she gave her bib to her son or something without realizing he would win the AG. If he just ran with her bib that would be one thing, but he actually took the award away from the next person...
Wow. Cheating is sooooo frowned upon... I'm glad you caught it and reported it. I dont see how when they handed the AG award for a womans AG, they didn't notice the man wasn't a woman...

I would assume she missed by mistake unless heard otherwise. *I* have done it by mistake, so I know it is doable.
I believe it was an honest mistake. There were several spots where the trails would meet and traveled together in opposite directions or in the same direction but would split off, so if you are talking - looking at your watch/phone it would be easy to step over the line and be captured on the new path. These were usually due to detours caused by Flooded or Damaged trails. One was so runners would go past the same aid station at differant distances. Two years ago 3 ladies ( ~100m ahead of me ) ran right through a X intersection that had 3 signs clearly marking the hard right hand turn to the finish. There have even been instances where the Aid Station volunteers have accidentally mis-directed runners. Those I blame on the organizers as the Aid Station Pre-Race package/briefing should have covered it.
We had a Obstacle Course race in town on saturday, the event took place at the local Ski Hill and there are Trails going everywhere with lots of signposts. So to hold an event you just hang Direction/Turn signs on the posts that you need and leave the others blank- or put a stop go back sign for the lost.
There were 3 spots where the marking was not perfect.
Two were on downhill sections where people would look over top the first trail signpost marker to the next one further down the hill and run down to it and then realize there was no Blue Sign on it. The Sharp Athlete's ran back uphill to the previous signpost. Others just continued on and went off course.
The third point was at the top of a hill with a natural sweeping left hand turn ( mowed path ) and the route continued uphill for 200m ( mowed path ). 3 steps after the sweeping left there was a hard right hand turn downhill onto an overgrown trail - that had a Big White Splash of paint on a tree 50m away - that white splash was like a magnet even though the trail was wild (not an official trail) and under used. I call it Race Blindness.
Once the organizers heard some people had went astray the roving crew went over and added more marking. So the lesson for the organizers was Familiarity Breeds Contempt - that is the organizers know the course so well that they can't believe anyone would get off the mowed path or miss a signpost. The one organizer's dog spent so much time on the hill if you told him "Run Misery" he would take off and run the whole course without any guidance.1 -

In Norway they eat hot dogs in lefse. I need gf lefse.
I usually eat my hot dogs plain. Or with mustard. Sometimes I'll mix ketchup in. Especially now that its jalapeno ketchup.3 -

9/17 – rest day
9/18 – 5.91 warmup + XC workout
September running total to date – 102.03
Nominal September mileage goal: 165 miles
Real Goals: Run Oak Tree well, winning my age group and finishing healthy. Build base/train toward Wineglass, running PG XC #1 so as not to be injured, and running the USATF Masters XC Championship so as not to be injured. Run Wineglass easy, finishing healthy for a good recovery in October.
Today's notes – Not quite time to stop saying "humid" just yet. Temperature 79º F (26º C) with dew point at 71º when I got to club practice this evening. It didn't feel all that exceptionally warm, but the humidity made itself known. The two mile warmup was pleasant enough, with over a mile on trails and lots of shade.
Then the assigned workout was 800 at threshold, 4 x 1000 at interval pace with 3 minutes recovery; then 2 sets of 15 second cut backs starting at 60 seconds. Coach added, "See me if you have a marathon in the next two weeks." Well, I do. Talked to Coach, and he said not to do the cutbacks.
So I did a nice easy jog over to the 1000m loop, then 800 at T pace (Coach having clarified where 800 was on that loop), and 4 x 1000 at I pace. The 3rd and 4th intervals were hard, and the times showed that I was tiring: 3:55, 3:56, 3:59, 4:01. I think is was more the humidity than my legs, so I'm not all that worried about Wineglass.
Talked to a team mate afterwards, and he pointed out that my slowest 1000 at I pace was faster than what I said I ran a week ago. Yes, it was. I guess that's progress, if only progress in being accustomed to the surface I'm running on.
Thought about a cool down run afterward, and skipped it. I'm supposed to be in taper, and that means less is more. It's not so bad, right now. Next week will be harder.

The Lady had gone into the shop to buy the dog a sausage as a treat. She had to take the flag back and pay for the sausage. This happened in our neighboring town - its pretty unique, note the train track down the middle of the main street.2
