They are officially called bandits, but the practice is all too common. Not saying this is the case here, but it could explain the brazen move. Most true cheaters try to be coy about it.

How can anyone feel like they really placed if they didn't even run the whole course? I know I sound hopeless naive asking this, but what is the point?

I know it happens, but can't understand it at all. I'm not putting these two things on the same level (not even close). But, I understand cheating in a race about as much as I understand murder. It's completely lost on me. I totally don’t get it. I know it happens, but can’t understand it at all. I’m not putting these two things on the same level (not even close).

It's just: What is the point??? I don't get it. and jumping in at mile 8?? so she ran a 1/2 mary in what, 40 min or so? yeah, that's believable. people..idiots...

Other than dire financial necessity, which would still not be anywhere near a legitimate rationale, it just seems pathological. Glad she was easily caught.
