If I won my age group in a 5k fun run in 23:51. I would deny that I was even there.

do that thing.

I asked him if he's chasing the $100k prize from LR and he blocked me in a hurry. I'm sure this egotistical douche canoe won't be under 4 hours this weekend.

This is how important GPS watches are, you use them even when you are not running race.Oh, I agree - old habits die hard. My point though was that right now the mob is "fairly sure he cheated but can't quite prove it 100%" - But with a GPS watch on, all it takes is one public workout, or an enhanced photo (or a hack) and suddenly any and all suspicions are confirmed.
Though I guess this never would have come to light had the viral letter thing happened.
Easy solution: BAA requires X number of timing mats to make a race a qualifier. These mats need to be at significant locations (ends of out and backs) to ensure the full distance is covered, and a runner needs to hit all timing mats to BQ. (or all but one in case of technical error).
Where are Anonymous and Julian Assange when we really need them?

I am betting he has a larger than life portrait of Lance Armstrong hanging on this bedroom wall so it is the last thing he sees at night and the first thing in the morning.

I haven't been following the story too closely (though I'm aware of it). But one of the surprising things to me was the learnings that a BQ-eligible course was not required to have at least one or two timing mats mid-course.

The sleuths on Lets Run do not fuck around. The whole thing with the cheating dentist is another example of the tenacity of running bloggers. They make the House select committee on Bengazi look like a bunch of pisspants.

Actually, the stables around Central Park are all closed now. The last one shuttered a while back. The horses in Central Park come from a stable in the Bronx, I believe. It's kinda silly if you ask me that they maintain the bridle paths for horseback riding. I think they get used by less than 100 people a week. City residents would be much better off making those into running paths. We can obviously run on them as is, but it would be cool if they got upgraded/maintained for runners. Then maybe we could even include cross country world championships in Central Park. Now that would be cool.

I just read through his twitter a little - and honestly I just kind of feel bad for the guy. Not in a "people are picking on you, poor you" kind of way but just a general pity.
I got picked on a lot as a kid (grew up handsome and smart and have a wicked hot girlfriend now!) - and it just seems this man did too. What an outreach for approval by his peers.

No way. I'd bet Rossi was never anything more than a self-centered bro-dude who thought towel snapping was the height of comedy.

You're getting warmer.
Rossi hired a videographer to cover his trip/race in Boston.
The correct answer: He probably has dozens of pictures on the wall of him wearing Boston gear.

I'm sure we've all seen this by now. It's not about him. Hell, he can't even run a 5k without talking about it.
