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?
Then they are still idiots because they are trying to talk to a guy (Dustin) who didn't post in this thread. That quote was lifted from somewhere else. There is an actual world of communication outside letsrun. So when someone starts a "Dear Dustin" post, they might as well be trying to invoke Harry Potter.

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.
Did you know that Rob Young was scheduled to run Volstate this year?
http://www.marathonmanuk.co.uk/wheres-rob-running/I don't know if he did it or not. Haven't seen results. But on Rob's website, he lists Volstate on his schedule right before he started this transcon record attempt.
Has Lazarus Lake already met Rob then?

So all the folks who are responding directly to Dustin, I suppose they might still be reading along,
They and Dustin are, which is why they are "responding directly to Dustin".

No people don't.
I think some of you ultra people have been out on the road in the sun too long.
Let it go Jehoshaphat. Everybody knows what was intended except you. We have breaking news from Asher that takes priority over your insecure bickering.

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.
Here's the past from Rob's Facebook page:
"Video / CCTV footage was posted of the RV going through Emporia. I ask for the owner to post up to 15 or so mins after the rv went through as you might just find me on the screen as the van tried to stay with me but I dropped off the pace... I think that is what happened
So I beg for the owner to continue watching or/and post a lengthy video before and after the RV"
Release the video Asher. Don't hold out on us.

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:

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.
Hey, great idea! Why don't you get started on that, Investigator?

Awesome! Just donated $69
Great cause, thanks for doing this!
I nominated Rob for the just released Queens Birthday Honours Awards but they knocked it back.
They wanted proof of his achievements.
Can you believe that !!!!!!!?????

Interestingly Jamin just launched his new web page called gofondleme.com
He was supposed to run the Vol State Relay, which was being done by Josh Holmes, and was cancelled due to only 2 teams signing up. Not much point in traversing 315 miles to keep track of 2 teams (especially when one team was just going to drive an RV 95% of the way anyway).
Probably was supposed to be his test run on how well the RV thing works.

I bet he had not met him prior to today.
The event that Rob has on his calendar is not actual Vol State. Actual Vol State is about a month from right now. The dates he has in the calendar matches to the similar Vol State RELAY, which was unfortunately canceled. So no he didn't run it. Maybe he was planning to run the relay solo? Or maybe he didn't realize it was the wrong event. I don't know.
But that surely is something to la-ti-da through 314 miles a couple months before your attempt to cross the country.
How much running did you do at night on the big run mileage total nights Dustin. If not you , who then?

On the flip side, while the Ulisters do the heavy lifting on the road outing this fraudster, the run of the mill LRCer kid is safely hunkered down in his mom's air conditioned basement frantically refreshing his LRC browser session, only taking breaks when his mom calls him up for meals.
Good times.

Not really an endorsement for the wisdom of a ulister there. Think about it for a moment.

Funny how you old fellas always think every anonymous poster who calls you out is kid.

Aha!
There's a plot twist - RY has already met and paid off this Laz character so of course the first thing he does when he gets up there - he starts to help!
We need some LRC sluths on this! Who's in the area?

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."
Dustin,
I am calling you a liar. No way rob ran 50 miles in 5:30 pace.
Until you come up with an explanation how there is an error in your data I will hold to my claim. But you can't because you cheated.
You will not sue because you will be found as a fraud and don't have the money to throw away on a losing case. Remember, you need to prove you are not a liar not the other way around.
I offered up $1000 to duplicate just one day of claimed mileage. Not sure why that is being ignored if the first 20+ days were legit.
And IF they were legit Rob would have posted them onto Strava for the world to see and marvel at his superiority a long time ago. Except it doesn't exist because he is a fraud.
Vol State Relay 2016 Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/VolState500K/
Volstate 2016 was to run on April 29, but was cancelled due to only two 2-person teams signing up. One of those teams was "The British Brawlers", composed of Robert Young and Adam Holland.
I don't know anything about the Vol State 500K Relay, but the previously mentioned movie about the Barkley Marathon is great. My wife and I watched it a couple of months ago and we both enjoyed it a lot. Laz is a real interesting character.
Rob Young is my hero wrote:
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.
So he should have been in his prime in 2003 and ready to lap up the accolades as there's lots of kudos in the British military if you're good at sport.

Well he may have been in his prime in 2003 in the Royal Corps of Signals but he didn't feature in the 2003 Inter Services Duathlon:
