Can someone keep an eye on this guy (run across America)

NO!

Darren is making the claim, so the onus of proof is on him. He should know that in his profession. Letsrun is not a court of law you donkey. We just want to be entertained by ripping this scam to pieces.

Sorry what you say proves nothing do you really think that this crew would be dumb enough to connect the GPS watch and ride in an RV?

Also as has been pointed out the timing of tweets does not relate at all to the actual location. You can prepare a tweet in London for example lets say Brighton and post it when you stop for a toilet break in London. Then post a tweet 15 minutes later in Tunbridge Wells and post it in real time, does that mean you travelled 44 kilometers (27 miles) in 15 minutes? No it means you did not tweet at each location!! Show us where the location and time stamps are always done at the same time.

my location mentions were confusing. I meant travelling from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells

This is funny: A projected 3 Million pick up of social media followers.

Maybe they picked up 300. Including 100 from letsrun.com

Yeah you seem paranoid about people having 'proof'.

What claim are you referring to? The early ones where he clearly stated he intended to run or later where he explained the injury and the fact he was switching to a bicycle. Do you want to expose the fact he is not running? Sorry he did that himself. So given that he seems to be very transparent including turning on the GPS so anyone can join him or drive past several times which someone did. What is there to expose? You are not exposing anything he has not already. If you are please do explain. Taking early goals and stating these desires are current such as running across America,while failing to mention he himself has already updated his method is wrong. Sorry these efforts to impugn his reputation fall short when actual facts are presented. I am being entertained as you are by exposing the flaws in your arguments. It is fun isn't it?

It looks like they drove 14 miles this morning to mile 722 before they started biking again.

Huh you mean I like to hear truth and not lies, supposition, innuendo and assumptions? If that is paranoid - which it is not - then yes I will continue to ask for proof. When provided I will move on. Simple enough it is called fact checking.

Why don't you go film Kavinoky for us riding for 100 miles and live stream it for us? And make sure you get him to run some of it since he says he was all healed up over a month back and would be running.

How about publishing a schedule over the next two weeks saying this is the path he's going to take, this is the route he's running and this is when he's going to be on these routes and then STICK TO IT. Pretty simple don't you think. Yet...I guess it's not.

Hey Ozzie,

I asked for this a couple of days ago, you ignored it....can you supply this information? Do you think this is a reasonable request to ask someone who seems to be so free to the idea of people joining and witnessing him?

Yes, Markus, those 14 miles look suspicious..

Left campground:

Duration 66:22:41 708.52 miles

Pulled to side of road:

Duration 66:17:30 722.62 miles

14.10 miles in 54 minutes and 49 seconds

15.43 mph average.

Granted, there were some downhills during that stretch, but there were also some uphills.

Their first 1+ miles were uphill and appropriately slow. From 710.09 miles to 722.62 miles (12.53 miles) it took them 41 minutes and 25 seconds, which is a crisp 18.15 mph. I have my doubts about their capability to do that.

Correction: They left the campground at 65:22:42, not 66:22:41. My typo doesn't affect the math on the speeds.

Okay, that sounds reasonable to me.

Usually you see some little arrows along the way but not this time.

Thanks for the math :-)

What about the first 14 miles today then, is that proof enough for you?

How do you get a time stamp? I only see the distance altitude and speed when I mouse over, but not time. The battery usually says zero so I wonder if any of it is really correct.

Party up front, Gettin'-it-all-night in the rear.
