well I guess I goofed my post(won’t say subject on louisville) I can’t access…
I had no intentions of the actual athlete name getting out I just screwed up and left all the splits and total times in so it was easy to figure out… Thanks Paulo…If not you someone else would have I guess I wasn’t fast enough editing it.
So can I assume a moderator has locked the post in question?
gholmes
Didn’t get to explain so will do so without details
Biker in question I’d been on ride with didn’t know them was told they were doing the race was real slow ride
had to go back couple times to check. Had no water bottle cages only fanny pack blah blah blah
thought long day at the race if not more prepared so saw the time thought way to go then looked at splits
ticked me off this ain’t right so asked the forum what others thought that was it.
The point is if the person cut the course, what would you like to be done!? Honestly, who cares, they’re the one that has to live with what they did, if in fact they did cut the course. Let it go, move on and be happy you completed the whole thing and were lucky enough to experience all the pain associated!
go to the lavender room and get rid of it
yes you screwed up
think before mashing the post button
dirt
ps no big.
Like Kerri said, let it go.
If you want to be mad at something, think of all the guys in your age-group that are on testosterone.

good poit. Hey I’m not that bent out of shape. that was my 24th ironman really was just wanting some opinions of others we talk about drafting and other things on here so why not this… I just goofed gave too much info went back on to edit and bam too late
I can live with it…
Wasn’t quite like when the guy from england back in 97 or 98 cut course in gulf coast everyone on rst(slowtwitch of the time)
thought who was this guy went 29 mph there… He got a kona spot then at roth they caught him because they have video at all the turns… took his spot away from hawaii. This guy nothing reallyl in contention for other than his pride…
An I said maybe he missed the second loop by accident he didn’t really have a clue on the training ride he did…
So no biggie for me…

Was that sort of a “stream of consciousness” post?

well clearly you need some help having done 24 ironmans, as that’s just stupid. 
So what offense did he (the OP) commit?
He posts times with a question asking if it looks like these times are valid, or do they look like someone who cut the loop?
Ok, so what someone figure out the name of the individual. All the OP did was ask, yes his tone was somewhat incriminating and more like, please affirm my belief this guy cut the coarse.
But as I said in the OP the run to me did not look suspicious.
Like Kerri said, let it go.

Yep say where can I get some of that stuff…
Guess possibly cutting the course isn’t as big a deal as drafting , or dopeing or crossing the finish line with your family
sorry my bad…
Okay I’m done with it next topic.
“Was that sort of a “stream of consciousness” post?”

No was part of what I was explaining when I got cut off the original post(I assume I got cut off by moderator)
Someone asked if I knew him I was trying to say no other than was on a training ride and was obvious to a bunch of us he wasn’t prepared for training 3 weeks out much less doing the race… I was actually glad to see he did so well considering chocked it up to youth… until I checked the splits…Again could have been totally accidental didn’t do second loop Hell I came close to cutting it and just calling it a swim with 80 mile training ride(I was not haveing a good day for sure).
And it’s possible that is what happened he just wasn’t aware of the second loop…just wanted other opinions…
well clearly you need some help having done 24 ironmans, as that’s just stupid.
Yep the stupid part was 10 in 3 years ending in 2005 with imf 50 years old…the last 3 were canada,hawaii and florida in 2005 in 100 weeks. But I’m no joe bonness(heck no one is) It broke me…
So I took some time off got out of shape burnt out didn’t want to train anymore bailed on imf2006 one week before the race
Heck I even quit reading slowtwitch most of the last year…
come july 4I thought hey I’m already signed up for louisville think I feel like doing it so started training again 7 weeks out… But now I’m motivated going to imf,then arizona…next…

Yep sorry I got carried away when the first post got locked out I had this need to expalin myself and answer some of the replies and paniced breifly(I’m trying to get out of house to ride a little). so I got in a hurry…
Too bad spell check doens’t fill in punctuation for you.Course I don’t use spell check either…
irdgaf what he does
i think there is a better way to handle it then on ST
what if he didn’t cut the course
he has no way to defend himself
it is just my 2 cents
dirt.
Not sure of the particulars on the guy's case, but these threads on ST are always interesting to me. I know that I should just recite the "serenity prayer" and move on, but I end up on the side you are where I'm saying, integrity matters. I'm always up for calling out and culling the cheaters from sport. What's funny(both odd and haha) to me is that if you care at all about anything that someone other than you has done, many here go nuts.
Holy shit, gholmes! If I hadn’t read your original post I would have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s like you’re writing in hieroglyphics.

I was thinking drunk post for the day, myself.
Or should that be: I was drinking thrunk post of the day.
I am just like you and I agree completely.
