I tried commenting on this photo and the "I ran Marathons" Facebook page, but she blocked me a few weeks ago on her personal web site. I guess it transfers to this web site.
Anyone else want to try to comment?

A quick looked as her 80mi time against others 80mi time shows she would have been around 160th and smoked past about 50 runners in last 20 miles. Amazing!
Any time I've seen her at that stage in a hundo she can just about walk.
Do she cheated in 2012 as well?!?? Those splits make no sense, but they do in the context of all her other cheating occurrence. This woman has a problem. Seriously. If Badwater does not DQ her they are a joke.
Strong finisher again. Top 3!!!! She is 100 percent not capable of a 10:16!!!! She ran the last lap as fast as the number one female finisher. Lol!!!!

Back half of PMs race report for Badwater 2014. QUESTIONS IN BOLD!
You never know what life has planned for you and what is going to happen race day. Start of race I found myself excited as ever to be there to attempt another Badwater race with a splitting headache! Knowing I have 23 miles up hill to 10,000 feet ahead of me, I took some pills to ease my headache and started the race. The more I climbed the mountain, my head started pounding harder. I was berthing heavy which later on caused a pain in my chest as well. I knew, if I can conquer the first hill, it will be much easier later and it was! I finally got to the top and turn around and was relived to be able to head down the beast! I picked up my pace and every step felt better going down! After almost 13 hours of splitting headache and 45 miles, I was finally back in Loan Pine. With my teams advise, I decided to take a break at this point knowing it will put me behind the schedule even farther. By the time I took 2:30 hours for eating, nap and cleaning up it was night time. I ran another easy 15 miles before conquering the 2nd hill, the most discouraging reminder by the race officials was during this time, questioning my ability to finish on time. I explained about the break and being able to make up time after having a rest. I was stopped again before heading up by race volunteers deciding if they will let me go up! I headed out the 2nd hill with Daniel as the rest or crew headed back to hotel to get rested. We pushed up the never ending dirt road uphill, Daniel was on top of my pace, carrying all the extra drinks and closing just in case it got cold. I was told the average time of the climb was 5 hours and we where able to get to top in less than 4 hours! This gave me another boost as I had also passed at least one person! We started running down the hill as difficult as it was since it was very slippery and chance of falling and breaking something! Daniel was telling me stories trying to keep me awake. On this out and back, I was thinking about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro from 15,000 feet to under 18,000 at middle of night, if I can do that, I can do this! We stopped at the bottom of hill for breakfast and to take care of a nasty blister that kept coming back. My crew was rested and fresh to take care of me during another 17 miles assent to Darwin now. We got to experience more heat now, but my team kept me hydrated and kept spraying me with cold water. Melody never stopped applying and reapplying sun block, therefore I didn't get sunburned! I got stopped and reminded a couple of times again by race official on how slow my pace was! They finally gave up knowing, I will not stop or quite.
BECAUSE YOU WERE AT THE TAIL OF THE RACE THE ENTIRE EVENT AND WELL BEYOND THE PHYSICAL MEANS TO FINISH WITHIN CUTOFF
I kept telling myself, if I get to Darwin turnaround without getting sick, the rest will be piece of cake and it was!
NOBODY AT THE TAIL END OF BADWATER WHO IS HOURS BEHIND CUTOFF OR EVEN THE LEADER THINKS THE FINAL 44 MILES ARE A PIECE OF CAKE. WTF?!? PIECE OF CAKE IF YOU HAVE A DODGE CARAVAN I GUESS
Made it to Darwin some time around he noon and after having a quick watermelon break, headed back on down hill. Sometime close to Keeler I had a surprise visit from my young friend Courtney with cheering sign! I was starting to get sleepy at this time and she sure helped lift up my sprit and give me a 2nd wind to carry on! Closer to Loan Pine I decided to send most of my crew back to rest and come back fresh to help me on the last 13 miles hill up to Mount Whitney portals.
ENTER STEVE ONLY INTO PICTURE. LET THE CHEATING BEGIN WITH NOBODY ELSE ATOUND. IS THIS WHEN THOMAS SAW YOU DISAPPEAR IN YOUR VAN AND HEAD TOWARDS THE FINISH?!?
It was time for me to sole search, pull if from the guts and put it on fast gear to make up time and I did. Passed a lot of runners that looked like zombies as the hills and desert had taken some soles!
WHO DID YOU PASS EXACTLY? WHERE DID THIS OCCUR EXACTLY? THERE ARE BARELY ANY RUNNERS OUT THERE TO BEGIN WITH. PLEASE DO TELL, WE ARE CURIOUS!! DARREN? THOMAS? I THINK NOT!!!
Finally, the lights at end of tonal as headed up the mountain on 13 miles ascend to 8,000 feet. This was very familiar territory to me as last year I had so much difficulties on this hill specially the last 5 miles with savior stomach problems. I was in good shape now for this one, still feeling strong and ready to take the beast done on his back.
I BET AFTER YOU FREE RIDE OUT OF THE DESERT IN YOUR MINIVAN!!
My team joined me just in time refreshed and ready to push me up and they did. We kept a fast steady pace up the hill and passed a few more runners as everyone was struggling to get to finish line.
AGAIN, PLEASE DO TELL. WHO EXACTLY DID YOU PASS? WE ARE CURIOUS?!??

I think I'll start giving myself a medal after all my training runs. I don't usually run 26 miles in 'em, but then again, neither does she.
...seriously, that is up there with those TV patent girls that have 100 trophies in their rooms.. I often wonder what on earth they do with all of them? Having a few awards in honor of accomplishments is fun, and I do hold on to some of my awards I've gotten over the years.... but if I had that many medals, at some point, don't they lose any emotional appeal or value?

I will say this, I did not witness any cheating...but now my story explains itself and now makes total sense. I'm an ultrarunner as well, so I didn't assume cheating unless I see it obviously w/ my own eyes.
I was a support crew at this year's BW135. Going up Horseshoe Meadows and not even 23miles in, I saw this runner that caught my attention. I say this because we're not even 23miles in and she obviously looked like she's terribly struggling. The look on her face was pretty bad, she was on the heavier-set side body frame, very slow pace and with her seemingly looking taxed already by the run and I believe she was the last runner of that 6am wave. If you saw what I saw, maybe you'd also think and have doubts too if she'd be able to finish a 135-mile race at that point. I remember thinking & saying in my head "WOW! How is she gonna finish this race? We're not even atop Horseshoe Meadows? It's not even a marathon distance yet and she looks gassed!" I must admit, I felt bad thinking that, I've told this to a few people. Then the runner that I crewed for DNF'ed at Cerro Gordo but throughout the race, I friended some other runners especially the ones that are racing from my native country of Philippines. So after we're done on Tuesday, I tracked down on the BW135 results to check in on how those guys from the Philippines were doing. I searched the runners and their pics because I was also curious of that female woman that I saw and curious if she's still running. Heck, race staff even told me David Goggins was the first one to DNF this year, a well accomplished ultra runner at that. So I come to find out day that woman I saw struggling up Horseshoe Meadows at BW135 is Parvaneh Moayedi. She passed one guy I know who was ahead of her by over 3hrs in the earlier race check points. Studying the checkpoint finishes, I was proud of her gaining hours on the people that I met. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT WAS AMAZING OF HER!!! When I found out she finished, I felt both good (proud that she finished and disproved my initial judgement of her) and also bad because I felt really bad that I judged someone like that. I felt the power of ultramarathons and loved that story...
UNTIL NOW…because after reading all this from this thread, I feel duped and fooled by her accomplishment. Maybe my initial judgement at BW135 was correct all along.
PM is a 6 hr marathoner on a good day. When you run longer than a marathon pace will BECOME QUITE SLOWER AS THE DISTANCE DOUBLES, TRIPLES, ETC. So, A 6 hr marathon is a 13:45 min per mile pace during a 26.2 mile race. Yes, 13:45.
So now in ultra-land at a 50 or 100 miler, she forgets this and begins to cheat as if nobody knows math. Suddenly the last 8 - 20 mi loops during a 50 or 100 mile ultra she starts throwing down 11:00 min miles?!?!
She should have kept her FM gig going. Once she ventured into ultra-land things got a little bit more complex for her to cheat effectively.
Yup, 11:00 min miles at Wild Hare in the last 8 miles. That is as fast as the winning female!!!!!!!
This woman is a complete and utter fraud. I total fake. Kipp Litton even makes her look pretty bad.
So she got DQ'd from 2013 Rocky 100. Her 2012 Rocky numbers also show cheating. And her 2011 Wild Hare 50 also show she cheated!!
Let's play a game shall we? Which races did she NOT cheat at?!?! We know it wasn't Badwater. That one caught up with her pretty darn quickly.
How dumb does she think these race directors and runners are?
You should reach out to Thomas Zaide and Darren Fortney both who ran BW this year and who were around her during the race. They have stories as well from on the actual course and witnessed her cheating and/or failing to complete the entire course. Call it what you want. Both clearly state they were in front of her late in the race and she never ran by either of them. Both independently confirmed this on this site. One even claims she disappeared behind him as her van races towards the finish line, never to return (in case you are going to use the "staking out" claim).
Ultra runners don't have it out for people. They run and compete against themselves. They encourage each other. It is amazing. However, when they see cheating I highly doubt they are going up sit quiet about it. I applaud those two guys for standing up. If they didn't, this would likely continue on, race, upon race, upon race.
She has apparently attempted to fool a few too many. It's all collapsing in on her right now.
Sigh...this is sad, more cheats:

Hot??? Not so much when:
she gets passed here, by what looks like #15 ?? be interesting to compare splits
secret weapon?
Holy smokes, this case of cheating is going to the JUDGE!!! Waste of court time!!!!

If you've followed the thread, you know how it is unrelated.

Exactly. The OP and all the accusers except the Badwater runners say they are disinterested observers and are only interested in the integrity of marathons, not in PM in particular.
The Badwater guys don't give a crap about PM from what I read in page 12 and 17. They just saw her cheat right in front of them and reported it. If she cheated, someone has the right to call them out without being accused of having some huge agenda. Ultramarathoners could really give two shits about the Frequent Marathon scene (no disrespect to you FMers).
We all care about PMs blatant cheating that has finally been exposed by a joint effort of both ultramarathoners AND FMs. Both obviously care about the integrity of the sport if running.
Directly from her results pages:
5/3/13AM marathon 5:00:00 (great perfect even time)
5/3/13PM marathon 5:45:00 (great perfect even time)
5/4/13 100 MILER 23:00 (great perfect even time and Badwater qualifier!!!)
5/5/13 marathon 7:00:00 (great perfect even time)
This is all you have to know. You doubt the Badwater claims are false now? She claims to have run all this in three days. Every ultrarunner knows a nice double marathon before a 100 miler is normal right ?!? Lol. Then to hammer a 23:00:00 flat for a 100 miler is spot on!!! And an elite time too!! Then of course the old "marathon cool down" the day after is skways good for recovery! She must think she is invincible. Fraud alert!!!
