Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

Yeah no denying that they are both cheaters.

LOL!

Why all the hate against cheaters? Without cheating you would've missed out on a great President. Don't you understand the ends justifies the means?

Dubya was pretty slick in Florida.

LOL!

The point is that Mike is a cheater and Cecily is not. His marriage fell apart and she started dating him and the ex-wife couldn't deal with it.

^ Yup!

Some stats, this thread has averaged about 87 posts per day and will reach 16,000 posts in the next few days.

The best part is that Mike is so jealous of Cecily that he can't help but attack her via social media and it might him look like a total @sshat every time.

I'd say that some nonrunner associates of him who might have believed he ran 3:11 just because they don't know in any better likely have been changing their minds about him based on his juvenile Twitter behavior.

He's a sad train wreck of a man at this point. Trying vainly to portray himself as a happy family man one minute and going on a pathetic troll fight the next. Welcome to the rest of your life, Mike, ya bag of douche.

He can't help attacking her in here either. People should ignore him then he might go away.

She has real hair, too.

We should also try and ignore Sara so she'll go away as well. Then maybe she'll stop trying to run the thread with her stupid rules.

I disagree. Bye Mike.

He probably deferred his entry to 2016 though.

You could defer online up until 31st October so that is possible

It is interesting that the 2016 marathon is outside the parameters of the $100,000 challenge. Too bad - I hear Mike has been working hard and kicking butt at local 5K races.

Also too bad - I was watching the race and was ready to find Mike. It must be magical to watch the best of the best run right by you. Mike is among the best of the best.

You wasted an entire Sunday in New York just to stalk a fat hobby jogger?

He's a fvcking moron. What is your excuse?

LOL!

I was there watching friends. Finding Rossi was to be a value-add.

You use the term "fvcking moron" a lot. Just like a lot of Mike's DJ friends. They don't know better. What is your excuse?

Zing.

You're too smart for me.

Wasting that $250 reg fee must have hurt. Rossi is a fascinating figure. His red dyed hair matches his troll personality.

A few months back he tweets that he runs a 5k training run in what? 21:XX... But cannot do it on a race?? Hahaha... LOL! I am sure his middle name is Perdente. LOL!! LOL!!! LOL!!!!

I hope he did. Maybe by then he'll finally be fully cured of all issues including the broken hip, lack of fitness, love handles, addiction to Boston gear, etc. I admit I am sad. I knew his performance would be horrible but those pictures would have been priceless. Oh well, stay in the game Mike!

Some recent gems from Ken:

"Whew! Just got home from running the NYC Marathon and I am tired. My time was 3:11:45. Not my best, but I'll do better next time."

Referring to NYM gear: "Just bought ten of these. My fall wardrobe is all set."

"Temple = home to serial rapists and marathon cheats. Hooray they lost!"

Ken did retweet something insightful from Cecily though. She ran a 40min 10k (sub 6:30 pace) recently, after a real injury. Mike could never run one 6:30 mile, let alone 6. Actually, Rojo should lower the standard and offer $10k for one single 6:30 mile. I have to say the woman seems very professional and charming, basically the anti-Mike. Now I see why he only spews venom at her. Looking back at his twitter history it's clear that she gave him a passing shout out after the VIA (since it appeared he had BQd). He then posted responses several times basically brown nosing and making comments as if they were friends. Being the pro that she is, she quickly distanced herself and called him out when it became obvious it was a sham, ouch! That's when he lost his $hit.

A sincere thank you. I know better than to feed the trolls but occasionally goes against my better judgement. Who defends the likes of a cheat and terrible person like Mike?

Not at all. Although my post seems to have been offensive to LetsRun standards as it was deleted.

In catching up, I see that, unbelievably (perhaps it shouldn't be), Mike posted another offensive twitter shot at you. But then he deleted it. It is somewhat interesting that he posts these really awful things but then some time later realizes (or is told?) that those public posts really should be deleted. I wonder if someone else tells him, or if he figures it out himself? I just don't see him having the intelligence/morals to actual realize the damage he does to his own reputation every time he makes such tweets. The "family man" doesn't know what any 6 year old child knows; that it is really not OK to ridicule a disabled persons disability. What adult would need this explained to them?

I also see he didn't run NY. Given his 24 minute 5k I didn't think he would show up - he's clearly not been running. I was pretty sure he was just baiting everyone with the tweets about going. He does enjoy baiting people. As a hobby, I would guess he enjoys that more than running, which makes sense, people enjoy what they are good at. He's a crap runner but he excels at being a terrible human being.
