By on Friday, November 7th, 2008 | 11 Comments

Last month, Arien O’Connell ran the fastest time but didn’t win in the Nike Women’s Marathon due to Nike unnecessarily starting a non-elite group of “elite” women 20 minutes early in the race.

By on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 | 15 Comments

Last night, I explained my reasons why I think that Ariel O’Connell did not win the Nike Women’s Marathon this past weekend. After all, she wasn’t the first to cross the finish line. Thanks to a thoughtful reader, though, it appears as though Nike might be changing their minds. Here’s the reply he received through [...]

Arien O’Connell undeniably ran the fastest time at the Nike Women’s Marathon this past weekend. She had a tremendous race, she ran a 12 minute PR, and now she has a great story to tell her friends. What Arien did not do, however, was win the race. Just because she ran 11 minutes faster than [...]

This Week Last Year: a 7 year old swimmer and Nike+

By on Saturday, May 26th, 2007 | 1 Comment

This week last year was a taper week leading up to my Spring Marathon. The biggest news this week last year, though, had to be Braxton Bilbrey‘s swim to shore from Alcatraz. I fully expect that we will be hearing his name quite a bit in a decade or so when he starts getting up [...]
