Does this make me a bad BFRer?

[Zetti]

So I just found out that I placed 3rd in my age division at the IBRD 5k in Michigan. I should have gotten a medal and would have had a shot to advertise for BRS =( there were almost 4,000 runners participating in all the events (5K, half, and full)
Instead of checking the times and places, I was in a bit of a hurry and left right after the race.
Boooooo =(
Does this make me a bad BF runner?

Yes...now, glue these shoes to your feet - you shall remain shod for the next 18 months whereupon you will be eligible for parole.

Good for you on the 3rd place! The only time I've ever come in 3rd is when I was competing against two others...

Coulda, shoulda, who cares. It is what it is. Why would you think that was bad representing, that you didn't represent? I don't. We're human. You had some place to be. That's all.

I think you did a great job representing by one, running barefoot, and two, kicking ass! Congrats on the 3RD PLACE finish!
