Who else will be at the race this weekend? I know I am looking for Mike. But if we can get others to heckle him, call him out or even run up alongside him with their phone recording video asking for comment it would be great.
Let's not have a turkey trot reDUCKS. Let's get some LR exclusive webfoot-age of the most famous waddle in all of running.
Watch out for the 45mm, it might make it through security being so small and all.

True, and Duckster having lived in the area before had to layout his Rossi tactics leading up to the race. He knew exactly where to leave the course and enter again in order to get the sub 20 but he screwed that up. I really believe he was trying to get a sub 20 and collect.
At Haddon I think it was pretty clear that he crossed the line last then presumably pretended to be out of the race, hung around the finish and when he thought he was still sub 20, set off the chip mat by moving close to it.

I emailed RD and got some insight to how chronotrac works. It takes your last read at the start and first read at the finish. I couldn't get a look at the race file but he likely never crossed the start or finish. If he was standing near the start he may have well believed that his time started as soon as the gun went off. It continually read his chip until he walked away. He didn't calculate wrong he just didn't know when his chip read the final time. He figured it was close to chip time and that's where he screwed up. The answer is in that file if we could get to look at it.

You think Doubler would be able to get that if he asked nicely since he has some pull these days? As I recall the RD did the race for free and maybe doesn't want to mess with it, but I'd pitch in $50 US to help make it worth his while.

I think his statement that the results seemed suspicious told me that he looked at the tag reads already. It was for charity and I don't think he was paid so I don't expect anything to come of it.
I think it was established early on that something seriously wrong Mike, it shouldn't surprise you this much. Actually, I'd say it was established day one of this thread as normal people really don't cheat at marathons. The good part of that is the entertainment value of this thread has been mostly due to the craziness of both Mike and Ken.
I think Ken and Mike should have their own reality TV show. People enjoy schadenfreude, and those two are train wrecks. Everything about their individual stories is almost unbelievable. Truth really is stranger than fiction. They also each stay in character to the point of disbelief. Mike wearing his Boston uniform is so hilariously beautiful, like those tragic old ladies who dress as though they are still young. A person so completely clued out from reality to the point where you don't know if they are more focused on deceiving themselves or others. In the end the result is the same, the only one deceived is themselves, but even that is not absolute. Deep down that truth lurks at the core of them and cracks them from the inside out. Creates the flaws which make their character so interesting. Awful despicable petty people who you despise or tragic pathetic people who you pity. Great stuff.
Not to be sidetracked, my question is - can we assume that WAAA is Mike? And if WAAA is Mike, then Ken really is now working at Applebee's? I'm not asking in a mean way, just curious. I like the Ken and Mike show.

Yes WAAA is the infamous Mike Rossi. It has been well documented and proven.
Just an update. Went to the grocery store and have acquired the ReddiWhip and a styrofoam container.
Mike will be pied on Sunday at the race.
Going to be a complete mess.

I wish he had, that would have been fraud and seeing Mikey in an orange jumpsuit would be beyond special. Odds are in his favor that will happen some day. I doubt Via is the first time he cheated at something.

And then he tears up and balls like a little baby. Bring a hanky & binky, he's going to need them.

It's going to be a true hit and run. I'll approach from behind and do a full frontal over the face and over his head.
Will be quite epic. I'll be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. I'm including a layer of Hershey's Syrup at the bottom of the pie for extra mess, and to stain his precious ill gotten Boston shirt if he wears it.
All kidding and bravado aside, please do not touch his Boston shirt. I'm sure he will want to wear it during his 2nd and 3rd weddings.

Please try to have someone with you to take some pics.

Pictures or it didn't happen, unless you are Mike at Via.
For this who can't make it to the race:
Mike is going to be massively trolled and sounds like even pied on Sunday! Any guesses on his finish time brahs?

If he turns up and waddles it, about 1:24, if he cheats 57:21
Maybe they will announce "Here comes Philly's biggest loser" as he crosses the finish. Will be embarrassing, but Mike will just want a shower at that point. The pie from earlier in the race will be pretty nasty by that point and really be stinking like sour milk. Might take several days for the stench to go away. Mike will be sent to the basement to sleep instead of the usual couch.
Why do people believe Mike is running Broad Street?

NP, we'll flip Mike's videographer
