Katie "finishes":

I LOVE Lance's "number" shirt!!!
Also I've seen people smiling as they crossed the finish line but its more a dead grimace as they grit their teeth for that final sprint.

Quite an achievement for someone who hasn't (to our knowledge) been doing a huge amount of training. Yes, she's lost weight but that doesn't equate to fitness and running, even jogging 26 MILES wipes out elite athletes, let alone vapid, lobotomised fembots.

When I do my cardio workout at the gym I am soaked with sweat after just one hour, let alone 5+ hours. And I'm not a naturally 'sweaty' person.

I really hope that the organisers of the NY marathon at least investigate this - provided the Co$ doesn't get to them first - because if she cheated it's a slap in the face to all the competitors who did it the hard way. It would also give the added bonus of making the TomKat travelling circus look even more foolish than they already are.

I know about the botox under the arms, but one has sweat glands all over the body, shirts of this colour would normally show it but who know what nicin does to the body ^ her CO$ sweat-box training...?
I hope that they investigate too, because the NYM is a really respected race, this in some ways is making a mockary of it. Even if they prove that she did run(walk) it all, it needs to be investigated.

It happened to me once after a major workout - yuk. Nothing to do with Katie (because she didn't run a marathon LOL) but pretty gross. I remember a TV crew homing in on the winner of a London marathon once and asking "how do you feel"? to which she replied with a deluge of puke. Lovely.

Edit: And you sweat all over your body - not just the pits, face, wherever. Look at her body - there's enough in clear view - her clothing isn't even damp and her skin looks totally matt. That woman has NOT just run a marathon but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

LOL! oh yeah, I remember that one too. You have to be dead careful near the finish line, what where you're stepping!

Which would mean that she would lag behind the elite runners pack. Photo op anyone?? Of course. Show me the photos!!!!

Katie finishes race wearing FDNY hat and there is some kind of CO$ charity tie in. It's a big freaking PR event down to the finish line photo with TC kissing Katie and her parents looking on from the sidelines.

Why did they wear bibs if they were registered? How did she get an elite runner's number? How do the FDNY feel about her wearing their logo? Enquiring mind want to know!
