The saddest thing about that is it appears RnR New Orleans totally changed the course. I ran it several times (4 I think) back from around 2009 through 2014 and it always started downtown, went down St Charles, turned around, went to French Quarter, then north up into that park where the full split from the half. I loved that course!
Have em' run it through the ghetto neighborhoods, I guarantee the times will drop.
I’ve been hate following this weirdo for years on strava. His bizarre writing style and often embellished runs (elapsed pace is key, rather than moving time) is entertaining, along with his bogus listing of sponsors, including Hoka.
I caught him doing a virtual 5K where he submitted his moving time (17:53) rather than elapsed time of over 19 minutes. Clearly a legend in his own mind
I hate cheaters, but love cheating threads.
Speaking of which, what's old mate Mike Rossi and the ultra sausage eater up to these days?
I don't know who this guy is, but as someone who was in the race, it is very plausible that the guy accidentally cut off part of the course. That out-and-back, that is being mentioned around 8 miles, was overlapped with the 10k runners as they hit 2.5ish miles. It was in the densest part of the crowds for the 10k race and the path was only about 3 people wide so it was very challenging to run around people (onto the grass) much less look ahead to see where you needed to go or who you were racing against as they got lost in the crowd. Unless he studied the course map beforehand, he could have easily thought that the out-and-back was just for the 10k runners. The logistics of the 2 races were managed very poorly. Hopefully they can do it at the old course again.
RnR race poorly managed? Never heard that before, LOL! I’m shocked that serious runners are still doing RnR races, bad history.
Robert Young was one for the ages...
He says he will "DQ himself" as suggested in the Strava comments:
"Brian Reider Consider it Done 🏃🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥!! Thanks for Believe!!!"
Has anyone who ran this written the race director yet?? Is he still in the results???
The fly by shows him making that turn and running down a short ways before deciding to turn back around. Considering you didn’t make the mistake of cutting that part out, it must have been marked well enough…
He didn’t say he will “DQ himself”. He said he will shut his critics up and run a 1:15 in his next half marathon.
He has been removed from the official results though. Chalk one up for the good guys!

Guy is digging his heels in that he ran a 1:15 and won his AG!

An early turnaround on an out-and-back is tough to do by accident.
If you are willing to strain belief that his course cutting was accidental, no way he can reasonably believe he popped a result 6 minutes better than expected.
Dude chopped something like a mile off the course.
Math from the splits is undeniable. The numbers don't lie.
If he is still holding this up as a legit result, you cannot charitably chalk it up to mistake or delusion.
Dude is a cheater. And an awful one at that considering he posted proof of his guilt.
But it shouldn't have required that. If the RD or timing company were competently scrutinizing splits, this would have stood out immediately. Amazing they awarded the AG win in the first place.

I was horribly disappointed with the organization. I ran almost 5 minutes slower on this course than I did on the old course. I was hoping to run much faster than I was able to.
How was your time?
So the guy was already busted (at least) once for doing this same thing at a previous race...hmmm....but no, he didn't do it this time...riiiiiiight
He is scheduled to run in the elite field for Grandma’s Marathon in June. Should we let them know the truth about this guy?

Nice.
Thanks to Athlinks we can now follow him and report all sketchy results.

Obviously him being DQd is not sufficient. Find more of his social media to harass him on.
I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!
If you don't want the ridicule that comes along with it, as little or as much as it may be, then maybe try not cheating. Hard concept to grasp, I know. May cause a bit of a headache but I promise you it works.

Oh no, that ship has long since sailed. He cut nearly a mile off of RnR New Orleans half and now he must pay all the prices. How is the doxxing coming along? Are there more ways we can harass him? Maybe find his boss and email them to try to get him fired?
