This is hilarious on so many levels.
First: pics, or it didn't happen.
Second: most runners wouldn't have responded, so your endeavor - if it did happen - was pointless.
Third: I am trying to visualize how a letsrunner would email a 3:10 finisher...
... maybe like this:
Dear Steve,
congrats on your marathon! I once ran one too, but bonked brutally during the last 10 miles despite my 13:30 PR over 5000. Guess I should've run more than 20 miles per week. My hot wife, a 10, was so worried when it took me forever finish! Fortunately we both have six figure jobs, so we laughed off the shameful 2:22 in our Porsche on the way home.
Anyway, over at letsrun, some of us suspect that a certain Mike, another 6", 170 pound fatso, might have taken a shortcut to BQ! Ok, the Boston mary is a lame event for the slow hobby joggers, but we letsrunners still care!! You haven't seem him jogging by, right??
Best,
a real runner.
And you take their response, if there was any, serious?
SmartRunnr has you old school LetsRun guys perfectly pegged. Again, he's way too well spoken to be Mike. He's either a fast study of this forum or been around awhile. He's the first very obviously not Mike Rossi poster that actually supports Mike Rossi. Every other prior troll post supporting MR was easy to dismiss as clearly trolling or clearly "Hi Mike!"
Seriously no one else is worried that he confirms the 20:27 practice 5K?
