Good point -- I posted before the video was up (good find!) -- and while the head-down seems less celebratory than I'd imagine given the other circumstances surrounding the Boston Marathon itself (e.g., I would have expected tears, or posing for the family at the finish line) -- at least there's a fist-bump charade.
I'd like to modify the list, with the observation that someone wanting to BQ for the first time, in which it requires a massive PR *even at a 10k distance* within the race, would more likely run a pace to guarantee the BQ with some buffer, but nowhere near the gamble that he took. Since he only needed 3:33 (3:35, minus ~2 minutes buffer), you wouldn't expect anyone in that position to aim for anything much below ~3:25.
So...
1. No correlating performances before or after, or tuneup races
2. No pictures on course
3. Went out -- and maintained -- a PR pace FAR BEYOND that required for BQ
4. No visible sweat in finish line photo (especially considered in combination with #1, with someone running the hardest race of their life)
5. Owns, uses, wears GPS watch -- but not for BQ race
6. Very brief mention of BQ on Twitter, saying "Thanks" when congratulated by someone else -- DESPITE active running boasts elsewhere -- instead of a picture of a medal, finishing time, watch, or other evidence that somebody likely proud and aware of an achievement that is also an active social media user would likely post
7. (Along with 6): Only brief mention of BQ effort, no pictures or run reports or details offered, yet goes to great lengths to make tshirts and a video for running Boston
8. Called Philly Marathon result 2 months later a 'great day' on Twitter -- with more talk about it than the superior Lehigh time -- despite running a half hour slower
9. Had short paragraph defense of BQ, yet offered no proof, nor exhibited righteous indignation, that someone having a legitimate performance questioned would show.
10. Along with 9, "This is all I have to say on this issue," shut down all social media. Especially unusual given the circumstances of the original story, in which he exhibited strong characteristics of defiance and attention-seeking
