Deadspin
This bloodied but unbowed runner is Alicia Follmar of Stanford, who took a spill at the start of the women's distance medley at the prestigious Penn Relays. She quickly recovered and managed to finish third.
As a not particularly serious and not particularly accomplished runner (I did the Marine Corps Marathon in under four whole hours!) I'm glad to throw a ton of credit Follmar's way. A great deal of running is drowning out the continuous pain that accompanies every pounding step. I can only imagine how someone manages to do it well with a nasty laceration to their temple.

she was just showing her support for the cardinal
Mr. Follmar would prefer that you weirdos not post photos of his daughter bleeding at track and field events.
She doesn't appear to have started with a lot of blood to spare. DAMN SHE SKINNY!
Fitting the young lady from Brown appears to be crapping her knickers.
Looks like she hit her head on something sharp. Like her hips.
That headline is so beautiful, it makes me
see PROTRACTOR, PAGE 45
No and no.
That is a lot of blood. She probably throws up less after every meal.
@Christmas Ape: (I did the Marine Corps Marathon in under four whole hours!)
Kif: That new recruit is phenomenal, sir.
Zapp Brannigan: Yes. He edged out my old mark by two seconds...
...and 16 minutes...
...and 12 hours...
...I do plan to finish someday, Kif...
Bill Cosby sat in the stands, wondering why the young African-American runners weren't running while bleeding profusely too.
Sadly, this is Stanford's equivalent to Alisson Stokke
@Oh, Chet!: That's what I get for not paying attention
Just concentrate Geddy Lee, you'll catch that bleeding girl in front of you.
Does part of this medley include a 40m stretch over shards of broken glass? I thought tracks were supposed to be soft and bouncy.
@businessorleisure: Are you stupid all the time, or just over the internet?
Belle and Sebastian was wrong. The stars of track and field are decidedly NOT beautiful people. Though I have to say, I find the chick wearing the crimson mask to be fetching in that anorexic Luna Vachon way.
I read the first sentence then immediately looked at the photo, searching her crotch for said blood.
Looking at the label on her uniform...this relay is sponsored by Dunkin Donuts? Yeah, when I think of two things that belong together, it's athletics and donuts.
Just for using that headline, I must give you credit.
@Turd Ferguson: You & Suss-- get my gold stars for the day.
I'm still trying to figure out how anyone can run with legs that appear to be on sideways.
Getting spiked is so painful, but I never got spiked in the head.
Frankly, I think it's kinda hot.
