Ashley Horner a Fraud ?

Truth be told plainly. Thanks!!!

M.A.G.A...

More delays for extended attention...

how long can her bloodwork possibly take to come back ???

Any bets on what excuse/idea she’ll come up with to get out of this whole mess she’s created?

It was. The poster later said he assumed everyone would know it was a joke.

you guys haven't even talked about her 300 mile row she did back in 2016.

She was doing anywhere from 45-50 miles of rowing a day (72000 m+) in between 7-10 hours with fifteen minute breaks each hour.

That's around 400m every 2 minutes. Check out the CrossFit games Marathon Row this year and see the average times. Those cats were smoked. She did it a little bit slower, for almost twice as long...and for seven days in a row.

Get real.

Get real.

Those people in the CrossFit games just didnt have the mental strength and weren't doing it for the kids otherwise they would have gone much faster.

At least she admitted that she didn't prepare properly and needs to train more before she has another go at 50/50/50. Although no amount of training will make her capable of achieving it.

If anyone from Slowtwitch is reading this, more Delaware Street Nap memes please. It has some serious potential.

What a joke... she should stick to the steroids and bench press. Couldn't even do an easy bike ride without going to the hospital #outofshape

Also... LOL at this quote.

"I've done several Olympic distances, several sprint triathlons and a half Ironman, which is 70.3 miles," Horner says. "But I've never actually done a full-distance Ironman triathlon."

And in an added twist, she's going to do her first one in Haiti, her next 48 in each of the 48 contiguous states and then No. 50 back in Haiti.

And she's worried about monotony?

"Guaranteed, I'm going to get it done," she says.

Yeah.. turns out popping steroids and posting butt photos on instagram isn't the best way to train for endurance activities. Real shocker there.

Yes, please.

2019 bump for the sad, cliche, narcissistic, unraveling myth that is a social media "influencer."

Excited to see what the next claim/goal/lie is!

Cheers!

Yeah, the parade of frauds never ends. Congrats to the sleuths who held her accountable.

I would smashley

It's always the same. The critics are to blame:

"Critics on social media take their toll

In the back of her mind were many of the comments she'd seen on social media. "I saw a few comments, and they were just so negative. So I just had this 'I'll show them' mentality, which meant I wasn't being fueled in a positive way -- it was all negative energy," Horner said."

What a joke.

From a New Year's Eve post:

"Beautiful morning and a great start to end 2018- In 2019 I’ll be running (trotting/hiking) the Appalachian Trail- #Unbroken working on the logestics [sic] but leaning towards doing the entire thing unsupported. From Maine- Georgia

Many of you have asked about Woman Of Iron and yea, I’m continuing on with my triathlon training for #WomanOfIron 50/50/50 with my coaches @ironcowboyjames & David Warden who’s written the book 80/20 triathlon. I’ve learned so much about increasing my cadence and understanding what David means in the statement- “to get faster you must slow down.” ."

To get faster, you must stop altogether! Because it takes so long to make up those flowery phrases.

Where does she get the money to do things like train all day and take (presumably) a few months to do the AT plus you know the logistics behind that...and doesn't she have a kid?

I'm guessing her husband is some kind of special forces (probably a SEAL).

Are we sure she means unsupported? She doesn't seem like the type to spend months on the AT, much less unsupported. Unsupported means you take all your food and everything with you at the start and cannot resupply or get any help. String Bean did it self-supported, meaning he had no crew bringing him stuff but he could mail himself stuff to post offices along the way and resupply as he went.

Is Karel Sabbe a household name? He's the AT FKT holder. I'm on the AT every weekend and follow these FKT attempts closely and I forgot his name. In terms of fitness publicity stunts, the AT is a lot of time and effort for not a lot of publicity. And she said nothing about an FKT in that quote.

It's a cool thing to do if you can spare the time and money, but it would make more sense to do it as a life experience with your teenagers over the summer rather than as a publicity stunt for a fitness instagrammer.

To my knowledge, you don't have to mail yourself anything to do the AT unsupported. There are enough stores to buy food and supplies along the route. Maybe mail yourself some new shoes and socks every now and then.

I too was puzzled by her choice of words. Most through hikers do it unsupported, unless you count hitch hiking to and from towns support. Of course they are just doing it for their own enjoyment and taking many months to complete the trail. For her to use the word unsupported implies some sort of sensational achievement is planned. Who knows, maybe a world record. (FKT does not have the same prestige).

You would have through that after all the attention the 50/50/50 challenge drew she would be more wary regarding external oversight. Maybe she is assuming that the Appalachian Trail is so far removed from triathlons that she will slip in under the radar.

That's self-supported, not unsupported. Unsupported means you take nothing from nobody and have nobody accompanying you. I suspect she doesn't know the difference.

But again, she's said nothing about an FKT, so it doesn't matter so much.
