Hi, Budding genius!!! I see you are back with another nothing-burger comment, and new trolling approach. ;)

Sorry but that wasn't me. No reason to believe me of course but then I have no reason to lie.

Question for you. Do you genuinely believe an experienced ultra runner is using her crew to relay trackers across the US? And has somehow convinced a film crew to just ignore it? Genuine question btw

Who hired the film crew? Is Mimi recording a documentary about herself? It would fit in with what she's done so far.

The film crew line is an interesting defense. Rob Young claimed he had a film crew with him as well. Oddly we never saw any footage for some reason.

I'm not vouching for her. I'm an appellate attorney (I represent abused kids for Florida's Guardian ad Litem Program), and all I am saying is you guys don't have any proof she has been cheating. Totally different than vouching for her. Just pointing out there really no evidence she's actually cheated. Just alleged shady activity.

It's not like I am going to defend someone who is cheating . . . my girl is on the other side, and I DEFINITELY want her to win. But -- at this point -- there really isn't any smoking gun with Mimi's run.

Dave, a true attorney would know there is never proof. Only evidence. The preponderance of which reduces doubt to a legal threshold sufficient to render conviction.

In this case, there is plenty of articulable and supported evidence to determine beyond a preponderance, and nearly beyond a reasonable doubt (nearly, but not yet) that "Mimi" is playing fast and loose with the truth and legitimacy here.

More of the odd stop and gos on Mimi's Garmin: 7:17 AM, 7:57 AM

Similar stops that occurred in a small town are not included. Could be stopping for traffic lights.

Add: 8:57 AM. This one 1/2 mile after leaving a small town. The photo op was over.

There is no mention of a real film crew on Mimi's list of team member. There are a lot of ultra runners on it. I expect the film crew are experienced running members of her team who can operate a camera.

Here is a photo Sandy Vi posted to Strava of her running to the RV for her lunch break. It is the RV Pete K used for his transcon ... at least Pete's sign is on it. The license plate is RUNTRPS.

Great to see the old RV again! I hope Sandy is in good spirits.

Nope, independent documentary team as far as I can see.

Thanks, maybe that's it.

So Mimi herself has said in news article interviews that a film crew and her team would be with her at all times. Yet, not a single video of her running from either her team or this phantom film crew.

If this is true it's nuts. If an independent documentary team just shot and realeased a couple of these 57 mile days in their entirety I'm pretty sure all the questions would stop.

I know that along with the Strava data would be enough for me

How her team doesn't see that they could take the heat off themselves easily is baffling

The film crew then caught me live talking gibberish while we sent photos of the bite to our medical support.

Oh, the dangers of running in the wilderness of small town USA. Range-free wild dogs.

A truly independent documentary team would be free to upload proof whenever they pleased to a completely independent website. The team would identify themselves and post their credentials. ... Mimi may have a documentary team but it is not independent.

This is a good article where Mimi herself, team, and film crew did a recon of the whole transcon route in 2016. And then she says she would be as transparent as possible for the record attempt. Not very transparent right now....

Yeah, I'm not a real attorney; I only play one on TV (I just graduated in the top 10 at Notre Dame Law School and have been practicing for the last 15 years, but yeah, you obviously know more about law than I do).

I have ZERO personal reasons to defend Mimi and her efforts . . . for crying out loud, I coach the woman she's competing against. But nothing anyone has said thus far establishes the woman has been cheating. Let me offer a test: if you find evidence (or "proof") she has cheated, and you are willing to put your own actual names behind the accusations, then you probably have something. Until that point, it's just noise...

Dave, if I may offer a bit of unsolicited advice, don't take anything said to you on these boards personally. People will always try to wind you up. Congratulations on your successes. It's great to read you are giving back.

I've said my piece on Mimi so we'll agree to disagree. Best of luck to Sandy!

Ah, the Budding genius troll have stolen Dave's handle. The real Dave would never make such a post. He would simple say, I do not know.

That was not the real Dave.

+1 Best of luck Dave and thanks for being an attorney who actually gives a sh@t!

Dave, you are making the mistake of becoming another one of those people that come into the cheater threads saying we have nothing and time and time again we have been proven right. You truly are just putting fingers in your ears about the evidence. We saw the same denials from supposedly prominent individuals with Rob Young and Amy Hughes.
