![]() | ![]() Originally posted by msteiner Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by msteiner Originally posted by Asalzwed For those of you who have seen my post in TT, would you actually bring it up to the person who did it? What if that person happened to be very high profile in the running community? By rules pacing is cheating, but if someone beat me that was paced I don't think the pacing would have crossed my mind. In the end if they were able to rally out of a dark place to beat me, then I say they deserve it. My view is probably wrong, but I would rather beat someone at their best than beat them when they're having a bad day. Isn't keeping their head in the game part of the competition though? x2 Well, furthermore I don't think this is good day vs bad day. The mental effort sustained, holding onto a pace just barely within reach (which I think half-marathonning is, to a T) is part of the race. You can certainly work with your competitors or teammates if they are out there. That is part of the deal for sure. I just think it's a different "deal" when you have the advantage of having someone come in fresh for 5 miles (at mile 5) and lead you through. I understand, and good points are made here. Do you think the pacing thing was planned? Maybe the pacer saw a friend struggling and wanted to help. This becomes a grey area, because if the friend gave a gel or some water to the racer, then I'd be pretty peeved. By that logic alone maybe I should condemn the racer for allowing the friend to pace, but for some reason that's harder for me to do. Oh yeah. Planned for sure. She had a matching race kit and everything. And it happened right at the 5 mile mark. I don't think those details matter much to me, whether it was planned or not. And not that it matters but it's not like this woman was in a dark place or something. She just wasn't running consistently.

If anything just an "I'm on to your game, Trebek!". I'm pretty sure the runner has this rationalized somehow. People that cheat have a way of doing that (i.e. Lance Armstrong). |

You're talking about Manatees here. These people have been known to do all sorts of wacky things. And we've got some law enforcement types who can find out where you live!! (That would be a perfectly legitimate use of government resources, right, TJ and Hands?) |

This was not ignorance and I think is rather hypocritical to who she passes herself off to in the public eye. When you chose to make a living in a certain field (or anyone for that matter) I think your integrity matters. The race directors are not going to care as their stated policy prohiting pacers has more to do with managing the volume on an already crowded course than anyone getting a competitive advantage. I do not think that it would be right to publically call her out by name but if you have any personal connection or contact with her I don't think a note reminding her of common courtesy and race etiquette would be out of line. It sucks because I had to leave my pacer at home. |

It sucks because I had to leave my pacer at home. Yeah. I didn't want to make too big of a deal about the high profile person because it is pretty easy to figure out. (So please keep it here in Manatee-land) and I also wouldn't call her out publicly but I was considering shooting her an e-mail but I did want to get feedback first. It's not a HUGE deal. And by having a conversation here it is becoming one, disproportionately to how I actually feel. It just rubbed me the wrong way. |
