PowerBar Team Elite doent't seem so elite!

Have you ever run an ultra in your life? Have you ever seen one? You tell me what runner has not peed or shit in the words. Dude, this is not a road marathon where there is street closures and porta-pots every mile. You go when you go and try to be as discrete as possible (ie not laying a deuce in the middle of an intersection). He didn't violate race rules. Hell, I've never seen a road race at any level say "you must use only race approved/provided facilities" or you will be disqualified.

Not cheating. Its the same as someone in a 5k shouting out to you "you've got a 10 second lead". As long as that person wasn't impeding the flow of traffic by giving updates, who cares?

Yes, this I don't agree with somewhat. However, I don't think in the race rules it said you MUST use only the water/full aid station stops. I try to stick with the authorized aid stations during ultra's and maybe this will be enforced better at the race next year?

Look, I know nothing about this guy other than what is on this site, but you need to get the facts (rules) of this race straight before you spew your mouth off because of a personal vendetta against this guy.

"Spew" is a classic Daneism, welcome to the board Danus. I guess you missed the part where Brandon asked you to use public facilities when possible. You admitted you didn't even try to wait. This was not a trail race - you were crapping on someone's neighborhood.

The race instructions also advised crew vehicles to wait at aid stations and not to park on the side of the road which causes beach erosion. It threatened DQs for these crew violations.

Anyone... repeat... anyone who has ever run a race knows that coaching and communication each mile is not allowed.

Thanks for showing us how much of a tool you are.

I wasn't at the race, but looked at signing up. I was only stating what I read on the website (went back and looked at it). If you were there, dude, I cede to you. You would know more about what was said/not said than I would.

Don't bother to argue with the crazy person who keeps posting about Dane. This thread will get deleted soon enough.

Believe me, he wasn't there. You correctly pointed out every counterpoint to his rantings. It will never end with this guy. Doesn't matter what Dane does or doesn't do.

But the other poster was right. Many of us had never heard of Dane and now we all have. Some don't care, some are curious and some will inevitably side with Dane because of ludicrous obsessive postings by Rane and his buds.

Thanks Dane for telling us you used the Outer Banks as your personal toilet. Since you admit to purposely violating race rules, will you DQ yourself?

I really liked the part where you were getting race updates each mile by your 'helper'. That's cheating by the way.

I liked how you also admitted taking aid from your car whenever you felt like it. More cheating.

I really liked the part where you described being oversupplied with PowerBar but how you were having all sorts of GI issues. Duh.

Why would a company give product to a clown who does not know how to use it? Or have the ability to put together a complete and property spelled sentence?

Didn't you make your point with the whole 'boiling the family rabbit' thing?

... Danus was 6 hours slow last weekend. Too much time responding every time he gets a Google alert and not enough time training.

Dane, did you know that calling someone crazy in print is considered libel and is punishable by both criminal and civil penalties? You would have known this if you passed the bar.

How's that camp roster coming along? Or your movie? You need to spend more energy on those scams and less on your obsession with TAOTP.

"I have no desire to go through my entire life as just a finisher."

That's from the blog post.

Ummm .. that's funny because in just about every one of your races that's what you do. Earlier this year was the first time - in a long time - that you "went for it" on a downhill marathon course but them claimed you had to back off because it was too warm out.

Then it turned out that your temperature claims were wrong.

So was the mile marker where you decided to turn it into a fun run.

What I want to see is a legitimate RACE. One where he puts it on the line and fights the burn that comes from pushing himself as hard as he physically can, just to determine what's the fastest possible time he can run for a distance. Until then - glorified hobby jogger and professional 3:30 pace setter. Actually -the pace setting sucks too. Let's start off fast and get slower ....

You have to wonder about companies that will sponsor just about anyone. What is PowerBar trying to say with Team Elite? "You too can stop breaking 3 hours in a marathon if you use our product."

This Dane guy ate PowerBar junk, puked, ran out of energy and finished 6 hours off pace. Where can I get me some of that lightening?

I used to read this guy's blog very regularly because it really is one of the funniest things I have ever read (unintentionally funny). It's all been said before here -- the poor grammar, the attitude, the self importance, the delusional behavior, the judgmental blowhardisms.

But I think I am done reading his blog or anything else about him. The funny is gone and now I am just flat-out bored with his towering idiocy. It's just not fun anymore. It's a story in which NOTHING happens. There is no event. Just flatline. "Random guy runs and is douche" -- that's the story arc. And while I find the people who post trash talk about him really amusing (and accurate), I'm over him and his ego.

So. Just letting you know at least one Danus "fan" is dropping off the grid. Boring!

His blog is unreadable. This guy needs to take a rhetoric class. Using nothing but the passive voice, he writes like a high schooler. I read about 7 paragraphs before quitting.

This guy eats cheeseburgers and beef jerky while drinking Mountain Dew and other soda during a hundred mile race? He's a model for healthy living and proper nutrition for endurance runners. I'd love to see the results of his last physical. Steak and soda is what made all the baby-boomers have heart attacks by 55...

No...what he does is give a shout out to every stinking sponsor in his speeches. To the point where it gets ridiculously annoying after 2 paragraphs.

This guy hates dane with a passion.

Please don't stop reading my blog, I beg you!
