I’m wondering why her time isn’t in the results but finishers with longer times are. The last recorded result for NYC is over 10 hours long, she was 9+. Any idea why her time got kicked?
I think anyone like Snell who has attempted to make someone like Derek (marathon investigation) feel responsible and bad for another person's decision to commit suicide is the real bully. She sure has sponsors and her fans fooled, though, but when you make statements like "quaker ass" and "Polly want a cracker" in reference to white people and then whine about others being mean to you, it's hard to have much empathy. The threats of legal action toward anyone who calls her out or even questions her are getting old, too. At minimum, she's not a kind person, but she's not the only one who wants to cancel people and shut down anyone who disagrees with her.
If you look at people like Erin Strout, Alison Wade, Steve Magness, David Roche, and a few others in the running community, they are ultra quick to block others whom they know hold a different opinion and then complain about trolls. I've said it before, but I never really interacted with them online, yet they all still blocked me. None of them want others to speak unless it's to praise them. They want to present themselves as experts without any dissent. All the talk about having hard conversations, doing hard things, being inclusive, and encouraging kindness is 100 percent bullshit, just pure fakery.
I could forgive her for the lies about how many marathons she's run. She inspires a lot of people who are trying to exercise despite fighting a very difficult battle against weight. But the bullying is harder to forgive. She just seems like a really unpleasant, mean person.
In the pre-days(pre-internet, that is) locally (Ann Arbor) many of us would see a well known(& much loved) music store owner who was also a runner himself. No speedster, just a good guy. Many times he had his elderly(90+) mother along to participate in shorter 5K (occasionally longer) events. Due, of course, to the fact that she was frequently the only person in her age group it was a standing joke that she would crush her age group-even if occasionally not exactly completing the entire distance. This is all pre-chip timing and all happened many years ago. Good times!

She represents a part of the running community. By not running. 😂😂.
Everything is white supremacy. According to white people. 😂😂.
