You missed the part where he 'lost' his chip. The fact that he was bragging about it, suggests he wasn't disoriented.

That was hilarious.

Good for you for pointing this out and not just letting it slide. It irks me to no end when someone cheats or tries to get some unfair advantage. I thought I saw something very similar at the Gulf Coast Tri in May but I wasn't sure enough to pursue it. I was racing so I could have been wrong. Honestly, I don't know it I'd have the courage to do the right thing under the same circumstances, I hope I would. I vote for DQ.

See he lost his chip when he was disoriented.....

So has anyone here lost a chip during the run??????

Somewhat disturbing, the kid's profession is listed as "Investment Management".

No.

I was thinking of the same person.

I can't pull up the results for Kona. The file size keeps changing for the PDF.

When one avenue is blocked ...

I just looked at all male age groups under tracker and noticed the one at then end that DNF'd. Then you can check a name and see where they qualified with a matching run time as listed by the poster. I have now realized that I could be running/ working and not wasting time, but this is getting interesting. It is possible he was confused.....

I made a wrong turn at an Im run course once and ran 5km back towards the finish. When I realized what I had done, I turned back around, re ran the 5 km, and then kept running on the correct course.

He was not confused.

Had a similar incident at IMFL a few years ago (PRE FINMAN). As the first AGer exited T2, both a pro's wife and I looked at each other and said - he's no runner. Joe followed him as 2nd AGer off the bike. Joe passed him quickly, only to re-pass him mid race. Joe saw him ahead AGAIN coming into the finish line. When Joe passed him in the chute, he said "come one buddy, this is the third time I passed you". At the finish before he could point out the guy, Welchy grabbed Joe for an on camera interview. By the time that was over the guy was long gone. Joe reported it, they checked his splits and it was obvious he must have gotten a ride on the run. He caught the mats, but the splits were impossible. He also cut the bike, as he had a much slower swim than Joe and no one passed Joe on the entire bike course. Mr cheater had recorded a 9:18 or so time, a podium spot and a kQ if Joe had not turned him in.

At breakfast the next day we opened the local newspaper only to see a photo of the cheater with the caption "Fastest Local". Joe said "That's Him"! Apparently the paper did not know of the DQ before it went to press.

Those of us with a sense of honesty cannot understand the motivation to cheat. We say "how can he look himself in the mirror". The mindset of a cheater is one who takes pleasure in winning only as beating others. They look at themselves in the mirror and see a clever person who "beats" people.

Confused? This is the most famous section of the most famous race in our sport, muthafuka would need to be having a brain aneurysm.

This is good analysis, and is important for people to learn... I think it's called the "human tendency" where humans, thinking others are like themselves at the macro level, look for similarities in people, come to expect them. How can a cheater loom himself in the mirror? That's transferring your basic makeup onto him or her... in fact the cheater, or sociopath, or criminal, is nothing like you deep down.

I'm tired this morning and looking to "cheat"....

At least give me a "short-cut" and give me the age group.

I want to "cut" to the chase.

His name is...

Rolo Tomassi

Furthermore, they believe their actions to be right and justified.

Hmmm, that leads me to believe there is a Russel Crowe with a shotgun somewhere.

This happnes all the time, just look at last years IMFL and the dude hed and shoulders above the rest on the run with cool finisher photos...

hooooooooooo

is it considered outing him if you just put an athlinks "link" on the thread?

dude was invinceable

Not worth your time. You were there for your husband's race and nothing else. Move on.

Ditto!
He may never live up to his time from this race ever again.... unless he does some serious running training to justify his cheated split at his next!
