Let us know, Rob. Let us know FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE.

What part? I'm in central Columbus and depending when he gets near I can take a day or two off work to track him through the city but I wouldn't be able to get him on the edges of the state.

What has that clown done to deserve a single dollar?

Apparently rojo promised money to anyone who wanted to trail Robert. But when Laz and Markus took his word for it, rojo bailed out.

So it's no wonder Laz isn't going to give anything back to lrc.

This is hilarious. Race me! I won! A marathon!

Some other things of interest from the 2015 Run Across America that RY so valiantly competed in and won:If you look a the "Core Team" - http://raceacrossusa.org/core-team/ it shows a big fat nothing next to his name for "Total Raised", others have numbers like 10k and 7k, RY raised nothing apparently.The other interesting thing on that page, it has a logo under "Sanctioning" that is a USATF Sanctioning logo from 2014. It is like they are claiming this was a USATF sanctioned event, but using a logo from the previous year...

How many people did the Run across America that he won last year? I thought it was around 20, so not quite the feat it seems like.

http://raceacrossusa.org/results/

16 started in California as the "core" group (i.e., planning to run the entire thing). Others were considered "journeymen" who did only some stages. By the time they got to Texas, only 7 "core" group members were still running and eventually finished in Virginia.

Dozens of the 96 marathon wins that RY claims on his website were individual stages in this 117-day race against 6 other people (4 men, 2 women).

Just did a quick search on USATF, it was not sanctioned in 2015, at least the first section of it in CA wasn't: http://www.usatf.org/calendars/searchResults.asp?city=&state=CA&country=&associationNumber=&startDate=1%2F1%2F15&endDate=2%2F1%2F15&eventType=&includeAllAges=ON&distanceSelection=marathon&distance=&distanceUnits=&distanceComparison=%3D&prizePurse=&name=&series=&USATFSanction=ON&submit=Search

Could you post a link to the photo?

Every step of the way yeah right except when you were stuck in the desert or when he was Gallowalking in the video. Follow him with the motorhome: hasn't he been following you most of the way? Toughest record in the running world ... wonder what Mo Farah thinks about that.

Any of the photos on the marathonmanuk Facebook page. Unfortunately, I just read that Facebook strips all of the metadata out before posting them.

Ok. I spoke to Laz maybe 30 minutes ago. He is quite the characater.He says that it looked like RY was going to have an awful day but he sucked it up and has been gutting it out this mornign to get in the miles needed for the day (their day is basically motel to motel).

He said they mainly track him by driving ahead and waiting for him but also at times hide guys on the side so it's not predictable.

Anyway, on to the key issue. I pressed him about the watch/GPS data as in my mind proving he runs/walks from here on out proves nothing. Why don't we get the GPS/watch data which would show cadence? SYnc the tom tom to Strava if you aren't hiding anything. To me the only reason you wouldn't be doing taht as it happens is if you are hiding something..

Laz said he most definitely wants no part of the GPS data as he doesn't want to be accused of messing it up. He said if he was Rob he probably wouldn't hand it over either. I was like, "That makes no sense. If I had nothing to hide, i'd be publishing the data live."

He said if he was RY he wouldn't hand it over to letsrun as laz's wife has told him the tone is full of vitriol. I was somethign along the lines of "TI guess that's one way of viewiing. but i don't view it that way. Most people just think he's a cheater and defrauding the public."

Then suggested I get a strava employee to fly out there so there are no worrie about me doctoring.. He seemed to like that idea but wasn't sure if Rob's crew would have time to do it. He said it's a crew of just two people - two PR people who seemed overwhelmed. He said they'd have to be there when they stopped.

That's not hard. They generally stop every afternoon.

So it was an interesting conversation to say the least.

I'm going to a) Try to contract Strava

B) Ty to get the viceos from Colorado since no one else seems to be bothering with facts.

What's also interesting on that link is that of the 10 runners listed and pictured, two are wearing kilts. A full twenty percent! That has to be a new Guinness record as well. Highest number of kilt wearers in an American running race!

This is, by far, the worst structured forum I've ever read.

Jeffrey didn't like the taste of Englishmen.

Robert Young quote in RW interview about his alleged cheating, "I am really passionate about being honest." Well, he's already been caught in multiple lies, and claims this. Conclusion: cheating.
