    or your number anyway.
    would have been even better if they'd stopped him 50m short of the finish line :pac:

    No difference. A woman would have been disqualified as quick.

    It's a flaw on the admin side, that alot of races won't let you transfer the bib to some-one else. Surely it's better to have a participate than a DNS.

    and as far as we know he won fairly. OK, used someone else's number, but apart from that he won the race:)

    no winner's medal, no prize money, no name in the results. He can print out his Garmin track :)

    Was his name "Keith"?

    If so then his running has improved quite a bit.

    He's getting more publicity for winning this race than he would've if he registered. Hmmmmm ;)
