Yes, do this! Then show up at the trials and really run it with effort.
Why is this harmless? You're going to unfairly take away someone's age placement. This prank sucks!

Now that would be impressive. OP, instead of getting a BQ, get an Olympic Trials time.

I think you'll need to register for the marathon under another name and get a fake ID to pick up your packet. Then you'll need to wear a clever disguise for the race so nobody can identify you from the race photos. Maybe an eye patch and a scar.
I like it!
Also, OP, why don't you just register a name using an email created through tor?
For lrc use

I think we need to set some parameters here:
-It should not be at some tiny, obscure marathon: 500 finisher minimum
-You should tell us within a month after your attempt that it has been completed
-From that point on, we should have a month to catch you
-Guesses should be submitted on this thread, with name, bib number, and evidence
-If we don't catch you, everyone who posts a wrong guess agrees (scout's honor) to make a $10 donation to Gabe Grunewald's Fund -
https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MjEwMzE=-If we do catch you, you agree to make a $100 donation to see above
-After 20 guesses, you're off the hook
-You agree you'll tell the marathon after either a month or after we catch you (not gonna lie, ideally you would tell the RD beforehand and [s]he would tell no one else, but I understand they may provide some challenges/limitations unless you know a lot of RDs)
-If they send you an AG or any other type of award, you promise to return it
-You use your real name (that's an essential part of this--online presence matters, and you can't run Boston without a time in yor own name)
-You don't run Boston with this result
That all seems reasonable to me. Agreed, OP?
I think the above modification would be better.
Also, am I the only computer illiterate moran here who has no idea what the hell all those random scrambled letters and numbers are?

Also, obviously I can't register this username, so trust no other post using this name unless they provide the encryption key for the text in the original post. This post can be trusted because it should be by the same IP address as the original, however that will not be the case the next time I post.
I will be back.
why not just register with an anonymous email address.....
you need to find a way to cheat, and at the same time, make it appear that some random person who did not cheat appeared like they cheated. close the loop with a perfect crime. i hope rubber masks like on mission impossible are part of the scheme.
On a totally unrelated note, does anyone know if they check IDs at bib pickup for CIM?

Do not trust any other post purporting to be me without having the key for the above!
Good Evening Fellow LRCers.
First things first, the encryption key to my last post is:
DidYouKnowIt'sGame7ofWorldSeriesTonight?
So in response to the the fellow that registered my handle...I didn't want to register it, I figure it is more fun to work with encryption. Plus I didn't want any loose ends like an email out there.
I'll try to answer some of the questions out there.
1. I am using Tor Browser, on a VM using VPN. The VM and VPN is part of my work setup, Tor Browser makes it a little more random.
2. I have a marathon in mind, and it is 1000+ finishers, and east of the Mississippi. Is that enough narrowing down? Obviously either spring or fall.
My original thought was really just me knowing I did it and that would be enough. I see now that it would be more fun to "prove" to LRC that it was done, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that without having my real name branded as "cheater" on-line. After all, there are still many years of racing for real that I'd like to do.
So if anyone has some suggestions on that matter, I'm happy to consider them.
Telling RD beforehand is not a good idea. I can't imagine they would be happy or supportive of that endeavor.
I have already mentioned the time I need is not the 3:05 group. I will of course not use this time as an actual time, and I know from past results in the target race that the time I need is no where near the podium for age group.
My next encryption, remember, trust no one that does not provide the key for this!

PS: I have one other way of proving my identity as the OP should the encryption ever fail. I have kept track of the IP I use for each post, only a moderator would be able to validate.
The encryption thing is interesting but considering you could register with a fake email address why don't you just do that? Someone would have to know your password to post as you. What's the downside of that?
Is Professor Plum update?

Who cares? The challenge might as well be, “I am going to fart in a crowded room somewhere. Can you catch me?” It’s that stupid. Of course someone can cheat, and of course the likelihood of being caught is near zero if you aren’t an idiot. I laugh at the people who obsess over cheating hobby joggers. Let cheaters waste their own time and effort; no need to waste yours on them too.
Looking forward to following this thread!
