A boxer who knocks his opponent out is considered the winner, even though his opponent was a DNF. <BR/><BR/>Since my injury at the end of January I have not kept up on running blogs - too depressing to see all the bloggers having fun while I'm stuck jumping rope at the gym. <BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for the comment. I had heard of the foam roller, but had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I looked it up on the internet today and found some people use their Nalgene bottles to roll out IT band kinks. <BR/><BR/>I tried that this evening, and it seemed to bring some relief. I think I have some knotted muscles, maybe the bottle can clear things up. If not, I will be doing a lot of biking this year :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck this year with your races, looking forward to reading your upcoming reports and philosophical meanderings!704Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04595278154609782942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109005193454836082.post-72536860455914680102009-02-24T05:09:00.000-06:002009-02-24T05:09:00.000-06:00I think races should list the DNFs and anyone that...I think races should list the DNFs and anyone that finished is ahead of them in the standings. I don't think DNS counts for anything (although it's kind of nice to know how many were registered and how many started). You should list DQ'd folks too--then we know (as RDs) who to watch out for in future races.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.com
