Kara had a terrible day and still beat Desi in Berlin in '09.
My bad...Still, Desi is 2/3 against Kara in head to head marathon's and holds a better PR than Kara.
Im starting to think the average LRC poster prefers Kara over Desi in terms of running. I find this strange, since most LRC posters are obsessed with "Blue-Collar" runners, and like to see runners come from no where in terms of college/HS careers. Desi fits this bill perfectly. She was her college's #3 runner, debuted in her first marathon at 2:44, and has worked for all the success she has found.
Contrast that with Kara Goucher who was a 3-time NCAA Champ, a HS phenom, and a World's Bronze Medalist, and the only conclusion I can come to is that LRC posters only care about "hots" in terms of female runners.
Another win for man.
