Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

When things start to go really bad on here for Mike, a poster (often "new") will show up to distract from the topic, and specifically make the thread about the poster rather than about Mike.

It's just distraction.

Are you really worried that you might get distracted from the current off-topic discussion?

You might wanna ease up on the parenthesis or you might be mistaken for Mike, Mike14:08 and 2:31, happy? And since you're new here let me introduce you to the thread. It's about Mike's obsession with himself leading to a sham BQ and continued narcissism post-blow up. Got any thoughts on that or did you suddenly show up to take a survey?

Fair enough. I'll take back the accusation.

Started running at 46 I'm now 50. 3:16:04 and 18:49.

Nice.

It seems like everybody who has posted their times is pretty close to what Ross' claimed PR is (and similar in age).

I think its interesting because I have a theory that people who are winning races (15min / 2:30hours) probably don't care much about Rossi (amused - yes), and then there are probably people who are over 25min/ 4hours and don't fully appreciate what Mike is claiming he did.

Keep it coming.

My 5K PR is 15:52 and I've run 2:37 for the marathon. I ran the entire route for each, by the way.

Now, can we get back to more important issues like Kenneth Stillman's Twitter Feed?

Dude is a psycho. His level of obsession with Mike Rossi is fascinating. Rossi totally deserves it too.

The guy is probably mentally ill but he's correct that the wedding video that Mike made is terrible.

I can't believe Ken wants to talk about wedding videos. Or that he considers Mike slow.

Wow very fast times by LR standards.

btw I have been reading the thread for a while.

But I'm sorry I even asked guys. I thought it would be kind of interesting to see what kinds of runners post here regularly, but it seems like I've really pissed off a lot of people by asking about PRs and everybody accuses me of being Mike.

Forget I ever asked.

Mike and Ken -

I know your first reaction will be to disregard this advice, but for your own long-term health and well-being, please consider putting the anger aside. Is it really worth it?

Ken, your anger is becoming obsessive and self-destructive. Is Mike really worth that? Invest your energy into your son. Stop watching porn and marry your girlfriend. Be a role model for your son.

Mike, you cheated and got outed. Either come clean and get a fresh start, or just slink away like Kip. What you did was wrong, but not that big a deal in the big scheme of things. Move on. Be a true family man like you process to be -- it really is more rewarding than seeking attention for yourself.

Ask yourselves if this feud is worth it. Please.

Almost perfect, but he didn't get kicked out of the secret group, it was his group that he set up and contacted us all to join. When he kicked me out most of the other people left too so he ended up in a group pretty much on his own. For some reason Ken blames Rossi for his recent troubles and so projects all the anger he feels onto him. Rossi, being the childish prick that he is, exploits Ken's anger and winds him up with insults all the time that Ken can not resist responding to. Both of them need pyschologist if you ask me. There's some serious issues going on.

Rossi posed for photos at the 5k, he wasn't trying not to be noticed so I think the missing I is probably a typo.

Mike? Mike? Mike? Miiiikkkkkkkeeeeee? Mike? MIKE? Mike? M I K E? Mmmmmiiiiikkkkkkkkeeee? Was it a typo?

Hey look at that, all of a sudden you can be reasonable.

Back to topic: Rojo, you still here? How about you ask your web guy to have Rossi's mat times automatically show up here?

The trolls here would go wild after the first 5k split in 21 and change.

Don't worry I'm going to post them live. I should be done before he goes through his first 5k, but in case I'm not others will surely update everyone in my absence. Try 28min.

Cheater Mike is pacing a first time runner, so unless he is lying hahahahaha it will be at least 28 min, I'll say 38. No effing way he goes for his cheating time of 3:11:45. He's a...meow.

But he will learn more in that one day than he would have an entire year in school. He will learn about RFID Timing Mat Technology, Digital Imaging, Urban Planning, and Exercise Physiology.

SaraB, your post contains no new evidence, and so is invalid by your own standards. It is just making fun of people.

Please abide by the rules you spew at others.

What the heck are you going on about? I've never said that. Do you actually read what you type?

And can we please tag his splits with #HHH?

Hit The Gas, Ha Ha I Cheated, and Highway 78?

Am I the only one who thinks Rossi would like nothing more than a load of people watching his every move and posting his splits. We know it's not going to be any where near a 3:11 so why bother other than to feed Rossi's ego

That's exactly what he wants. He loves the attention. That's why he tweeted about the race.

He loves that this thread exists. The few times it's died down a bit he did something to get it fired back up. I'm sure he doesn't like being ridiculed, but attention is attention, which is what he craves.

You must have serious issues too.

Get over yourself, that so hasn't happened anywhere but in your delusional mind. The grown ups are trying to have a conversation

Unless someone comes to tell me that Rossi did a 3:10 I ain't paying any attention to New York

Leave SaraB alone!

Have you ever stop to think that SaraB is simply Ken's split personality?

Their bickering and obsession with each other clearly show they've got some weird fight Club thing going on.

Ken is much cooler than her!

That's quite comical. There's only one person who thinks me and Ken 'bicker'. In reality, he sprouted a load of crap that made no sense, we tried to tell him it wasn't worth it and then he forced everyone to leave him. If you're as objective as you say you are you might want to go back and actually read the parts of the thread that you're now having an opinion on. You have to have a personal stake in what you are discussing to be subjective which means that you would have had to have been there. Draw what ever conclusions from that you wish
