Do you think she ran or not? (Page 2)

I'm asking this strictly out of curiosity--in the long run this perplexing situation has no bearing on my life whatsoever, but I'm curious what other people might think went on.

I have a coworker who told me months ago she was training for her first marathon to be run on April 19th--Saturday.  I also happened to be running the half marathon.  So over the last few months we would talk training, etc.  Thursday she came into my room on my prep and we talked for a good 30 minutes about running in general, how bad the taper sucks, etc.  I wished her good luck and told her I couldn't wait to hear how it went.  Race happened Saturday morning--both the marathon and 1/2 started at the same time--I kept an eye out for her but didn't see her, no big deal, not surprising.  Saturday evening once I was home I thought 'I should check to see how "Sally" did.  So I went to results.  She wasn't listed anywhere, in fact no one from our town was listed having run the marathon--not in the DNF, DNS--she was no where to be found.  I though that was strange but figured maybe she registered under a different last name or something.  Monday morning comes so I shoot her a gmail and asked how it went.  She replied right away that it was life changing, unbelievable, she'll do another marathon for sure. She gave me her finish time down to the second.  Curiosity got the better of me so I looked under overall finishers, overall female finishers, her age group finishers and no one recorded that time, nor was her name anywhere to be found.  I'm wondering if she even ran the darn thing?  Or maybe ran it as a bandit?  But that makes no sense to me.  I'm not going to press it further with her, but I'm curious what others think.

ARGHHHHH!  Of course they do matey!! 

Maybe she was doing that Boston Marathon World Run...

This year, the Boston Athletic Association, in partnership with John Hancock and Manulife Financial, are inviting people from around the world to participate in their own Boston Marathon. Maybe it’s not 26.2 miles, and maybe it’s not in Boston, but there is a marathoner in all of us. We encourage you to bring it out – and to be a part of the first ever Boston Marathon World Run.

That's what I did.......it wasn't easy....and mine was all downhill.  3:52:47 or somehting like that.

I just checked the results...didn't find you.  What color was the finisher's shirt?

My race didn't give out any schwag, or have electirc timing, or witnesses spectators, or aid stations......i don't think I'll do it again.

I think she stole the bike.

CoJ now demands that you confront her and get the truth. We gotta know now!!!

I think she either ran or she didn't. Maybe she's Schroedinger's Marathoner? You could check and see if she has toenails or not.

I did a race last year, only a 5k but I won my age group. Or thought I did, my chip had fallen off somewhere on the course.

Hey, at least *I* have the race shirt and bib.

Schrodinger. Glad you didn't call me on that one too.

You were right with the spelling the first time - you need to add the 'e' if you can't put an umlaut over the 'o.'

I think you should write a yelp review of the race.
