Wow, that 2009 olympic distance race run is way way impressive. 28:08 run time for a 4:31 pace. He must be the real deal. :)

His other times are good, but nothing fantastic, especially for his age.

What he is doing is "impressive" but nothing to have so many implying he is the greatest.

And yes, anyone can pay Guinness for a "world" record. Ken Hale has more than anyone at over 600 triathlons, but the "record" is a guy with
like in the 200's. Ken sees no reason to have to "pay" for his record.

Hey someone can be doing something athletically and logistically astounding while scamming money. I'm not giving him any money so I won't pick on that. He is free to scam whomever wants to support his adventure. So do we have confirmation that he is run-walking today? I actually want to see this guy get back on the horse and get a few legit ones knocked off. Maybe he gets to 25 or even up to 33 legit IM's like Didier.

IF he truly did 33 WTC IM's that alone is a huge achievement. Each WTC IM requires something like 2-4 vacation days. That alone is 60+ vacation days, not to mention the money (then again, I think it is fine to spend a lot on tris...lots of guys spend way more on Audis or Ferrarris). I personally think that pulling off 30 WTC IM's in a year is physically demanding. There is a ton of travel across time zones to deal with pretty well every week (that's the story of my life) and layering IM's on top of all that travel is really tough. He might be a scammer and might be lose on rules, but he's a bit of an endurance freak by any measure

The 30 IMs in one year Guiness record is just plain weird. Its like he bought a "world record" to establish credibility.

I can't find the list right now, but I know there there were A LOT of WTC races.

All the big ones in the US for sure.

His Facebook page is full of kool aid drinkers. It's unreal how many people have bought into this gimmick.

I really have no idea how but i'd love to take this guy down... does anyone have any idea how to go about doing that?

I am sure the IRS or Local tax authorities would be a start since he is selling stuff and collecting donations. He is stealing money. But people are lemmings and stupid, blinded by the inspiration. I may visit him tomorrow in GA and put the screws to his camp.

Might want to start with substantive evidence.

That's a great idea... i'm trying to find some substantive evidence that his charity is legit... so far i've come up with nothing... perhaps you have some proof?

of course... there are bigger fraudulent charities out there so why worry about this con artist... excellent argument

Yes, if you cared about actual fraud, instead of just wanting to feed your irrational desire to get one over this guy.
