This. Great movie. Laz is the man.
either Asher or Rob or both have pulled off the biggest LR.com troll job in history....

Where is Laz? Is he running or trailing Rob?
You do realize you posted a quote from Dustin?
"Dustin's not here, man."
Yes, I'm sure he realizes that he posted a quote from Dustin. A quote from a wholly different place, not letsrun. So all the folks who are responding directly to Dustin, I suppose they might still be reading along, but it seems like people think Dustin himself is posting in here. And nah.
As for the video, Asher, do you know if Rob requested it BEFORE telling everyone that he was 15 minutes behind the winnebago? Or after (to confirm). That matters.
And I still think there's something screwy about London. Yup, he was there per photos and his splits look good. Maybe he was duffing some of the US days. The fact that this one shining data point is good is, itself, odd.
Rob says he was a professional triathlete and/or cyclist starting at age 17. Several years later by 2004 he was in the business of doing endurance challenges for charity. At some point he joined the military for five years where according to him his only responsibility was doing triathlons. For the past couple years his living has been doing ultrarunning for charity.
The man is 33 years old and has been doing endurance sports as his full-time job for his whole adult life. He's living the dream! Give him his due respect.
Is Rob Young related to Neil Young? (Keep on Rocking in the free world)

Dustin here, part of Rob's crew. Rob is running the miles with witnesses and gps and photos and videos along the way. We are filmed for about 5 days of the route by RV crews in addition. We can't really do much more and what we are doing will suffice for Guinness so should suffice for anyone else. If u want to accuse me of lying about what's happening here then that's very serious. It's not a legitimate question as u call it, it's a terrible accusation, accusing 3 of us of lying and being cheats. It's very serious and I will attend to it legally once this is over and done with if necessary. Legally it is defamation of character. Individuals had better have good reason to get into that or a very good lawyer and deep pockets. Either way there can be no proof of cheating or lying because there has been none. Just don't expect to spit in my honour and not have me take offence. The critics are just envious runners who can't bear anyone else to manage what rob is managing because they can't manage it themselves."
Just a remark: This is a fb comment originally that was sent out to the ulist. Also I'm reasonably sure it was posted pretty early in this thread as well.
Wow that comes right out of the cheater playbook.
Aside from Barkley, another thing that Laz created and directs is the Vol State 500k. Far more relevant to the type of running we're thinking about here. Vol State is 314 miles across the state of Tennessee into Georgia in the middle of summer. And while 314 miles is not the same thing as traveling coast to coast, it gets to some of the same issues a person faces when running for days and nights in the heat. So if there's someone who might be able to sniff out BS in person, the RD of that race might just be an ok person to have on the scene.
A lot more than the typical letsrun crowd who seems to know everything about everything from the comfort of our keyboards.

And you're another idiot, they're replying to the quote from Dustin he posted.
You are aware he posted a quote from Dustin, you're surely not that stupid not to have noticed?
"welcome to the big leagues"-let's run.
So right, lots of Mensa candidates getting their standup on up in here.
...
I have feeling that Asher is holding out to see who gives the most financial awards for the video. You sneaky dog! Good for you
Less than 24 hours of no LetsRun forced me to plow through 21 pages of this to catch up. Upon reading those pages, I have started a Gofundme to erect a statue (as previously mentioned) in Lebo,KS of Asher, the greatest, bravest, and hardest working LetsRun contributor of recent time. Feel free to not donate anything because if you do, it will just become beer money.

Has anyone thought to look for other surveillance video? Do any traffic cams store archives online? We should look at the times of his suspiciously fast runs (for example early morning hours of 5/29 - row 100:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DtGrPEckX8y-2-zAFwUgzqCo4HYwUctZNOKDLbYD4Vk/edit#gid=130386114). Blog says he started out of White Rock, CO that night. His website shows his route as going though 3rd St. in La Junta. A couple banks on that street. They'd have video, right? Not sure I got this analysis right but its just an example.

2. He appears to be struggling as hard as one does in a hard tempo or VO2 max repeats, which would mean he could only hold that pace for 2-30min, why would you strain that much doing insane long runs?
3. Too much body fat.
4. Poor form, not taking enough steps for that much distance.
I think earlier someone posted the coordinates for the time frame and he was going at about an 8:30 pace, about 7 mph.
His numbers (if correct) would've indicated about 8:40 pace for the segment in the video, but the Fraud's own tracking info lists the *fastest* segment for that stretch at a little slower than 10-minute pace.

Keep your erections to yourself. Asher. Show the video.
