Who knew that Benjamin Franklin runs 50ks?

Boys and girls, please stay tuned for more Badwater 2014 PM cheating stories tomorrow. Good one coming forward... This will blow you away, promise.

This thread is in danger of coming off the rails. The main problem seems to be PM and her husband posting (likely while drunk) in asinine back-and-forths with PM's former girlfriends-turned-mortal-enemies.

The funny thing is, if PM's own husband is actually telling the truth, then there are like at least 6 people who once had a positive relationship with PM that now want to destroy her. I can understand someone having one nemesis, maybe even two, but when you start to have around a half dozen crazy adversaries I gotta think it says more about you than them.

And this is under the stipulation that everything PM's husband has posted about her is true, so it is basically the best case scenario for PM. Let that sink in a little, friends.

Good post and I was thinking the same thing. There are too many attempts to derail what should be the focus of this thread - whether PM is a cheater or not. This is done by either trying to discredit those who have come forward or pointing the finger at others as cheaters.

I think this thread could easily be repaired by cleaning up and the one or two posters (most likely PM) who are trying to derail the thread.

I am going to email Rojo offline and see if he can fix this.

first, it would be awesome to see how she handles bandits in her races. second, stick around and count her turn arounds for her! you can be the impartial witness for guinness! ;)

it'd be fun to watch that 50 miler:

Koh Noor Crown 8/30/2014

Marathon / Half Marathon / 50 Mile / 50K / 10K / 5K

Kiani Crown 8/31/2014

Marathon / Half Marathon / 10K / 5K

Mind Body Heart 9/1/2014

Marathon / Half Marathon / 10K / 5K

Frantic last ditch efforts for Parvaneh's and her fake World Guiness Record.

The end Is near.

It's not just the turns that are a worry, it's also what she does and doesn't do between the turns.

Cheaters can get very cunning and inventive as we have discovered from other cheater threads.

Maybe she's eating too much beef. However, if we apply Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is that she's eating too many Snickers bars.

I think someone should just bite the bullet and sacrifice 6 hours of his life and follow her on one of these "marathons" she wobbles through.

Problem is it's not just one that she needs to be followed through, she "wobbles" through them on consecutive days, sometimes two a day, i.e. "3 marathons and 100 miler in a weekend".

how many calories would a 150 lb woman burn doing 3 marathons and a 100 miler in a 3 day weekend assuming 5 hour marathons and 10 hour 100 miler for a total of 25 hours in motion?

approx:

178 miles

Duration:

25:00:00

Pace:

8:26 / mile

Calories Burned:

20,192

Calorie Burn Rates:

113.44 / mile

807.7 / hour

13.46/ minute

that's approx 23 lbs of ground beef or about 8 lbs of ground beef a day for 3 days straight

so we can conclude:

1. if she ever stops running, she will balloon

2. she must consume enormous amounts of food

3. one does not want to run behind her

or 80 snickers bars at 250 calories a pop

a healthy diet indeed for 3 days of runs

"that's approx 23 lbs of ground beef or about 8 lbs of ground beef a day for 3 days straight"

"or 80 snickers bars at 250 calories a pop"

Which just makes all her 'achievements' all the more phantasmagorical.

phantasmagoric:

Characterized by or pertaining to a dream-like blurring of real and imaginary elements.

Sorry to say the additional person who witnessed her cheating will only speak to the media if she is asked. If you have a media contact who wants to chat, post it in her and the athlete will talk. After reading the crap PM and Stevie do to the folks that call her out on this site, I don't really blame them. But, just to confirm, three Badwater and nearly 12 crew members saw her cheat at three separate spots on the course. I can also tell you neither of the three runners or their crew knew each other before this event. All three will speak with the media if someone wants the story

I have been running now for over 10 years. I have raced marathons and ultras all over this country. Not once have I seen someone cheat. Not once have I heard anyone accuse another of cheating. For over 20-30 people on this site (from all parts of the country) to now come forward with actual proof and eye witness accounts is pretty damn telling. People don't just accuse someone of cheating unless they see it and really feel it is terribly wrong.

I have no clue if she cheated or not. But this thread was discussed over dinner with a few folks this weekend while in Leadville. This is getting around and some race directors in Texas are checking results and splits.

Fact. Eyewitness account : "Here is my experience with Parvaneh Moayedi at the Rocky Raccoon Trail Race in Feb of 2013. To be brief, we were both running the 100 mile race and were within 2 minutes at the 60 mile mark. I went out for the fourth loop, historically the toughest of the 5, and came up on her at about 3.5 miles into that lap. She was on the side of the trail, and in the dark, I didn't know what she was doing. I asked if she was alright and she responded she was peeing. Anyway, I continued on to the Damn Rd Aid Station, and went out and back for 6 miles. I believe that she cut off the 6 miles there, because she turned in her fastest loop, an hour and one half faster than the previous loop. This can be verified through her split times on Tejas Trails web site. If you average her pace out, and hour and a half is almost exactly what it would have taken her to complete that 6 miles. I never saw her again on that loop and certainly did not see her pass me. She finished the race in 24:49 to my 28:42. Also, my wife saw her cheat in a Cactus Rose Race in Bandera, and my friend saw her cheat in Wild Hair. I would have to do a little research to let you know the dates on those two races."

Posts like this reveal that this thread is totally derailed. This type of tone has completely undercut any potential validity in the accusations.

Making fun of someone like that show the posters to be bullies.

I think runbigfoot is correct

PM. Give it up. Seriously. You are such a cheat and fraud it is not even funny. Btw. You cannot run a sub 30 100 miler. I doubt you could even walk 100 miles. You cannot finish Badwater...you cheated last year too because you seem to chest in EVERY race!!! You are not a marathoner. You are not an ultra marathoner You are not a Guinness record holder and 2 x Badwayer champ. You make me literally sick. Get the hell out of our sport. You are not welcome. Everyone, please get this message board site out to your running peeps. Cut and paste it. Have them post more of their accounts of her cheating if they have witnessed it. Love that Leadville was discussing !!!! Get the word out!!

Most cheater threads have their own "personality" if you will, but this thread has been more of a roller coaster than any of the others! Brava, everyone.
