Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

Hmmm.. maybe.

This one from the Boston Marathon is legit though.

FTW.

Jayson has a start time from the chip mat. He has photos showing him in the middle of the course in the group he says he was with. He has no finish photo or chip time, which is all completely consistent with what he said about DNFing.

Rossi had a start time and a finish time but was the only runner without photos in the middle.

I realize you're trolling, but stop with the nonsense.

He's done.

I spewed my beer. Damn that wins the internet for the day.

Well done. The case has been solved. Mike was there. Now we need everyone to concentrate on the cheater on Dancing With The Stars. The guy has a bionic leg. That's not fair.

Let's try that again, without the (stupid, needless) ego.

Thanks, Salty, for putting into words what many of us feel. Great job.

lol, Jay's not the one who cheated. Perhaps if he hopped in the car with MR Jay'd have a BQ as well.

Who said anything about Jayson cheating ? I only asked what his credibility was to comment on where Rossi was during the race ? Jayson has fewer photos than Rossi , and no official time listed , so by THE STANDARDS OF THIS GROUP , , Jayson was only on the course for the distance that can be measured in these photos .... he obviously didn't start the race ,( lack of start photo ) and certainly didn't finish , and also couldn't have run anywhere else on the course except where he was photographed ,because there are no other pictures of Jayson to show he was at every mile of the course , therefore I guess Jayson cheated ?

You come across as a confused little boy, "therefore I guess Jayson cheated ?".

His credibility to comment is that he was running at same the pace Rossi was supposed to be running at.

Jayson has a chip start recorded.

He has photos from two different locations on the course (others can advise what mile points these were).

He has "lack of start photo" as do, I'm guessing, 95% or more of runners (you can check).

You're right he has "no official time listed" why?, because he "certainly didn't finish" as you yourself said doofus.

There weren't photographers at every mile of the course.

Can I deduce from that, that Jamin has not slept with Brenda Martinez?

Also, his pace seems to contradict the elevation. He speeds up going uphill and slows down going downhill. Also, how does he average sub 8.00 pace with that many walk breaks? That run is as phony as his LVM was.

I did it on Strava too but without the looping. Neither of them match the elevation that Mike has though. Nowhere even near

Here is a link to the route on mapmyrun. This was as close as I could get with the limited knowledge of the area. I had him looping around that top part on his way out multiple times to match the distance.

Keepin' it real, I'd like to know how old you are before I consider commenting further.

You need to look for corroborating evidence : identify his car at 2 different locations during the race in background of photos. Not easy but doable. Then get security footage from those locations with him in car and time and date stamped.

WTF are you on about?

More evidence?

JayRuns4Food provided the forum with a link of an additional 200 photos with no sign of #2161 in them. The links contain the majority of the top 200 finishers.

This link below shows the runner who finished ahead of #2161.

http://photos.lehighvalleylive.com/4424/gallery/lehigh_valley_health_network_v_3/index.html?galleryPart=2#/33

Runner #2531 is photographed.

This is a runner who started within 2 seconds of #2161. Finishes 4 seconds ahead of #2161. And #2531's is the only photo showing #2161.

When compared these two runners have the similar start times, similar finish times, same chip time, same gun time.

There should be some sort of photo evidence (either ahead of #2531 or behind him). But every photographer has only managed to capture #2531's images.

Remarkable.

There's no images to suggest that 2161 was keeping pace with 2531.

So? A picture is only worth a thousand words. Apparently, the lack of a picture is worth more.

OK, let's get that video done. I think if the pictures are downloaded and intermediate/missing pictures just plain copied, then ffmpeg should generate the video on a Linux command line easily.

We have a long weekend coming up where Iive.

What was the URL with the pictures from the bridge again?

Is the guy still around who wrote the screenscraper?

How much compensation might one receive for selling a Wave 1 Corral 1 bib?

OK, while you get the CCTV footage, I'll hack in to the CIA drone infrastructure and drone archives for LHV

If only I knew their password...password... that's it, the CIA password is "password".
