I'd hardly call this a short thread ;)

Yeah, I noticed and posted that somewhere in the 10's page I think. It is weird.

Lets recap. Dude cuts course and finishes. Takes off timing chip and lies to officials that he lost it on the course. Went around bragging about his awesome race and blazing fast run split. One of the people he bragged to was the OP who was following her husband's race but had met the offender earlier in the week saw him on the course and realized that something was amiss and turned him. Officials looked into it, realized he cut course and DNFd him. NOW he is busted. Slowly dawns on him that gig is up and is forced to come clean to avoid even further damage.

That about right? I think my reading comp is pretty good.

wonder if SLOWMAN could shed some light on that one?

(i like a good conspiracy theory though)

I just don't know how I could look at myself in the mirror if I cheated at something like that. Unless your going for the podium, you're really only cheating yourself. Feel bad for the guys lack of self-esteem. He should be more proud just being able to compete in such an event.

Everyone makes mistakes mate. It's not that big a deal, it's only sport but good on you for owning up. It's daft that someone even started this thread.

Its triathlon, not life or death.

Dude, stop beating a dead horse. You can spin it that way if you want, but that's exactly what you're doing, spinning it. You're reading comprehension clearly isn't good if that's exactly how you think it happened.

Everyone here realizes that you despise Mike for what happened. That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but move on now. Everyone else has.

Any of you know and know any Ironmen who are or were in the marines?

I do. Its a big deal to them.

"Its triathlon, not life or death."

Kinda my thoughts exactly. Interesting situation from start to (faux) finish, and I'm sure as we all know this isn't the first instance of this occurring, nor will it be the last.

To those scolding the OP for bringing this to light in the first place...I say, where there's smoke, there's fire, and as others have said the "accusation" was well thought out and researched (one can opine on that alone for a variety of reasons, but I will leave it be lol)...and ultimately proved to be true.

To the young offender...while almost all of us here would never contemplate, consider, plan, or decide to do what you did, I do appreciate that you have owned up to this in a reasonable manner. Again, we can conjure up all of the potential reasons for the confession, but the fact is it took place, privately, publicly and to the race and organization involved. Ultimately no one outside of yourself was harmed, and even you will recover...perhaps in some grand fashion yet to be determined.

Who is Mike?

I think I peed little watching that...it's been a while! Holy crap - that was good stuff!

Well said. A lot of people on their high horse because it's the internet... They'd be less quick to judge if someone aired their dirty laundry.

I hope that was supposed to be pink. If not, your reading comprehension really does suck.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Can we start a petition to ban the white wizzard? I really hate that guy.

Glad you came forward, and that you did it promptly. First step in rebuilding your character.

Keeping a secret like that can rot you from the inside out.

While I still think you should bear the consequences of your actions in some kind of penalty form, my feeling is that you've learned a brutal lesson the hard way, you manned up and are taking the medicine. Peace on you, brother.

Wait, the race goes through the Energy Lab?
