Allright, back on 4/16/12, I remember starting my watch the very moment I crossed the start line. Then I remember stopping my watch the very moment I crossed the finish line coming in at 2:59:59. However, according to gun time I came in at 3:04:20 where it took me 4minutes and 21 seconds to cross the start from my position in the 7th corral(6000s corral). After making a request to correct my result, they had sent me a response saying, "Please allow up for 7-10 days for your adjustment to be approved and completed." It is now been two full weeks since I sent in a results correction request. So far, the BAA office in Hopkinton has done absolutely nothing and now as I am looking at my latest result, they dropped me from 535th to 536th overall. I think this is the biggest BS call I've ever had in one race. Talk about fixed. Anthony |

Who cares? You know what you ran. |

Let me call a whambulance for you. |

This is epic tragic. 3:04 of your life lost forever. The only solution is to sue. Show BAA what you're made of. Scare the pants off them. |

I hear ya brotha. My watch said 3:09, but these jerks won't let me us the time for next years race because they say they don't count times for bandits. Elite snobs. |

http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/results-commentary/results-search.aspx You are a model of grace, sportsmanship and modesty. All competitive runners should emulate your good nature. I'm curious to know why you think the BAA would "fix" something against someone who is actually part of their club. I'm also curious to know if you threw a tantrum like you did at last year's Old Fashioned 10-miler when you saw your finishing time. |

The entry fee is $180. I would want my time to be accurate as well, especially after crossing such a milestone. |

What was the prize money difference between 535th and 536th place? |
| Haha yo (go get em) |

Why so long to cross the starting line? Were you pulling a Kiplitton or something? |
| Lefty. |

Yep! Consider this: I recently entered a 10k on race day. They ran out of timing tags so I had no official time. I ran a PR and would have won my AG against some pretty decent competition had I been timed. What did I do? Nothing! I know what I ran and I know that I can do it again easily next race. The guy who officially won my AG? He's got an asterisk in his mind for that race. |

Even wore, when I ran it last my Garmin measured the course at 26.4 miles. Afterwards, BAA refused to acknowledge they had mismeasured the course and also refused to adjust my pace with the extra mileage taken into consideration. Clearly, they don't know what the hell they are doing. |

I may not threw a tantrum like last year at Foxboro, but speaking of DQ, I feel like I would rather have my result DQ'ed from the racers record book if it has to show up as 3:00:xx instead of 2:59:59. FYI, here's something to explain the last quarter mile prior to the finish. soundfxnow.com/sound-fx/pacman-die/ Anthony |

But I still haven't heard the difference in prize money he lost. |

Hey Anthony.....you should have just cut the course like you have in the past. It's easy to get a faster time that way. |

I did and now they won't recognize my fast time. What the frack do you think I've been complaining about? |
