Ep. 291 - DNF Drama - My Battle with Bloodroot 50K Results

What happens when you finish a 50K…but the official results say otherwise?That’s exactly what happened to me back in May when I ran the Bloodroot 50K. I crossed the finish line. I’ve got the pictures & the Garmin data to prove it.  But a couple weeks later, a former client emailed me to say: “Not sure if you know this, but UltrasignUp has you listed as a DNF.”Cue five months of back-and-forth with Spartan (the race organizer), unanswered emails, dead ends, and more marketing emails in my inbox than I can count.And here’s the thing: this isn’t about me being salty that my UltrasignUp ranking shows a DNF. I’ve DNF’d before - no shame there. What frustrates me is what this says about how some race organizations are treating runners.Because if this had been your first 50K? If you put your heart, soul, and Saturday mornings into training…showed up nervous but ready…crossed that finish line…and then found out you were listed as a DNF? That would sting. Bad.In this episode, I’m breaking down:The messy reality of my Bloodroot 50K results sagaWhy I think some race organizations have lost sight of their runnersWhat this experience taught me as a coach (and former RD)Why you deserve credit for your work—especially if it’s your first ultraI’ll keep you posted on whether Spartan ever corrects this mistake. But in the meantime, if you’ve had something similar happen—don’t give up. Keep asking for what you’ve earned. You deserve to be seen.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT 🔥 JOIN THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS COACHING MEMBERSHIP 🛍️ SHOP THE SHE RUNS ULTRAS STORE ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM
