A little surprised to see this on the front page of HN, but I don't think we can deny that running is probably the nerdiest of sports.
Anyway, that's nice that she owned up to it. Most of the cheaters don't. As a guy who's no doubt proved my running bonafides -- 3:06 marathon pr + there's a picture of me on the Western States 100 wikipedia page -- I always wonder why people get so angry about this kind of thing. I mean, sure, it's not cool to cheat, but this ain't the Olympics. Who gives a shit?
Nothing is getting "stolen," especially not if you weren't in the top 10 or whatever.
