Over/under on shelby and burrito threads started/bumped in the next 24 hours? I say 60.
We all knew this was coming.
She should go to Tinman.

That would be a great move. Appearantly they're looking into Boulder (that's where her new coach will live) so she can help with #tinmomelite
I've seen her post more on Instagram doing trail running. Hinting at moving to trail/ultras?

Nope, at least not yet. She's doing a fall marathon and under a new coach (who lives in Boulder. Forgetting his name). She also said she wants to have more kids and her and Pat are looking into adoption.
I definitely think this is a great move for her!

Why would she move to Boulder? Didn't she whine about how bad altitude is for her?

Not a chance. She struggles at the marathon. Her best running event is track 5K or Olympic distance Tri. She should go back to what she’s the best at, Olympic Tri.

My guess is that she didn't like altitude because she couldn't keep up with the other girls in workouts therefore psychologically making it seem bad.
That's just my take.
Here decision-making has been a clusterf^cj since 2016. She needs an agent or some counsel. It's like she's avoiding what's hard and that's never good. Not a fan.
Who's her new coach? Hudson? Troop? Ritzenhein?

She says in the video. Bobby McGee. Advisor for USOC. Her running coach when she did Tris.
I just left the DMV …
Great move.
As an Olympic Gold Medalist it is important to protect her legacy.
BTC will forever be tainted. Especially with Coaches and teammates coming to Shelby’s defense. The best route is to separate yourself and claim that as soon as you heard something you got the heck out.
Those that don’t will always have a cloud over their career.
Jerry had a chance to say “Shelby went rogue” and save the reputation of himself and the group but he chose to go the Salazar/Nike route and deny deny deny. This will now be part of his and the entire BTC legacy.
She literally said in the video the thing she'd miss is her friends at BTC. She isn't leaving because BTC is tainted, she's leaving because she has no future in track (due to age and speed), and I doubt Jerry wants to coach her in the marathon. She keeps trying to squeeze as much as she can out of running but frankly, I doubt she'll get anywhere in the marathon again. She'll end up injured and then concentrate on a bigger family and that will be that. I honestly don't know how they have much income, especially to live in Boulder (if she chooses that city). It's kind of amazing that she has the funds to basically train for a living and plans on expanding her family.
A post got deleted by me as it was probably irrelevant. But I have noticed that she was wearing a lot less Nike gear and wearing 2XU and even tagging the brand for the past month, possible even longer (except for the olympic trials when she was back in nike gear).
I think she can continue with marathons and have success with her social media presence. She was aiming high and was going into the marathon too fast. She likely needs to have her training tailored to her strengths and weaknesses. She may do better training solo for many of her workouts. She may never win a 'major' marathon, but could definitely win mid major or smaller marathons and build 'excitement/interest' on social media on her way to targeting a major marathon in the future. After the major marathon, start the process over again. She would, of course, need to stay healthy.
I do not know that Ultras are in her future. The 100 milers are the glamour events in the US, with a couple of 50 miler exceptions, and that would require quite a time and training commitment, which I think she wanted to get away from with her child (future children). I don't know that her running style would work well in trail running. It would be interesting.
