Next question? OK: Do you know the word "hoard"?

When Deena looked at her watch at the half marathon split and then picked it up, I knew she would have a tough finish. She did the same thing at the Olympic Trials in St Louis when she reached the half marathon and then started to chase down Blake Russell. I think she would have run a sub-2:20 if she had gone out just a little more conservatively (5:20 or so) and ignored her competitors. I'm glad she was able to hold on today - when you start to slow up that much at the end of a race it really doesn't matter what someone else says to encourage you. All you want to do is get done.

"whored" "hoard"
That was fantastic!!!!!
Oops! I must have "whores" on my mind.
:)
You should've said it was a pun!
She was whoring a bunch of guys for their pace, therefore a whored of pacers, perfect.
But hey, look at it from Clint's Perspective. He's asked to pace Deena and he agrees. Pacing is helping someone to run a certain pace without physically coming into contact with them. I've paced people in workouts and yelled "come on, you can do it" "Almost there" etc. What kind of prick would he have been if he had not encouraged Deena, if he had just dropped out and watched her lose or kept his mouth shut. Whether having a man pace a woman is right or wrong, let's not hang Clint.
