Well, I read your ">" symbol as meaning "is better than." Not sure what you meant by it, if not that.

Yeah, that is what the symbol meant. That didn't mean that she had to move herself all the way to the left. I figured she'd figure out where she could safely fall. OK, let me add this:

AWI>WIN>AGW>PR>MPF>DFL>DNF>DNS>NET>LAB
(AWI=Avoiding Worsening an Injury, AGW=age group win, MPF=middle pack finish, NET=never ever trains, LB=lazy *** bum)

I mean, we could go at this all day, and we do already agree. Sorry if my encouragement that she could show up and drop out at the run and/or walk the run sounded as if I suggested she race the run at breakneck speed despite her foot falling off at the ankle.

With the recent revelation that swimming is out, I think she falls in the DNS>NET>LAB part.

Edited to add: While out on my run, I kept trying to figure out why you have such a problem with my post, which was really about recognizing achievements relative to one's particular situation. I decided that, perhaps, it would have been nice to have written some sort of disclaimer at the end of my original post. Something like:

(Assuming walking doesn't aggravate the injury.)

Um.... yeah.
