I do not like they can't take a little grief

I do not like their snaggly teeth

I do not like them in a kilt

I do not like them without guilt

I do not like them deflecting blame

I do. Jot like them without shame

I do not like them running Coast to coast

I do not like them when they boast

I do not like them in Euro 2016

I do not like them letting Russia get even

I do not like them running with bobbing heads

I do not like hematocrit levels spiking in their beds

I do not like them playing the British card

I do not like them pretending running hard

I do not like their tax on tea

I do not like them running in an RV

I do not like them on the wrong side of the road

I do not like them in data silent mode

I do not like their James Bond mojo

I do not like them attacking Rojo

I do not like their fish and chips

I do not like Posh Spice's scary lips

I do not like them wearing charity on their sleeve

I do not like them when they make it hard to believe

I like the good ol USA

I like to call it a day

They're completely losing it. Which means the manipulations aren't working, the bullying attempts to stop legitimate questions through threats aren't working, the "for the children" isn't working, none of what they are doing to avoid simply uploading data and other reasonable requests that arose because of their own behavior are working.

They ask why would someone do that? Narcissism. For attention, money, profit, and admiration. Why would someone claim they have a less than 31 minute 10k time and try to profit from that and all the other things he's tried to profit from? None of the people with legitimate concerns about this who care about the sport are profiting, are they?

How did he fly to california from the united kingdom at his own expense and take all this time off "for the children" (then why not be quiet about the run if it's for children not yourself)? when he had a go fund me for his basic living expenses a year ago? How would that ever be a wise decision? My guess is someone else paid for the travel expenses. Did skinsGB and the other companies pay for his flights? Did one of the charities? And if it was a charity, how does that help them raise money as a charity? Will that latest bit of giving up his time and paying for his flights and now he is the poor persecuted lamb change and he will no longer have paid for his own flights? Will that be like the story changed where he decided one of the people who caught him not running when they came out to run with him as they were invited to do was a knife-wielding assailant with no threat or history of threat of that and no supporting evidence of that behavior from the person? Rural united states has so many ax murderers and they all come dressed as a runner with a headlamp, not as a bunny in the middle of the night, the bunny in the middle of the night is safe to stop for, not a runner with a headlamp. Also, since he is now complaining about being persecuted for being followed at night why did he display behavior that requires him to be followed and his story to be verified and why is he complaining when it is his choice to run at night? So why not run during the day? Or at night in front of the rv in headlamps for safety, that could also give them a dashcam of him running for the remainder, (doesn't explain the problems to this point they will need to account for, but is something). Simply have dashcam filming him in headlights, could even occasionally have all this frisbee golf playing crew pan down to speedometer, match to a worn-by-him gps with cadence. If you are choosing to run at night and are doing so 5-10 feet in front of an rv in headlights, your crew could get to you quickly if needed.

They are losing it. They do want attention for a "record", they do want attention for money for sketchy charities, they don't want attention for the inconsistencies in what has happened and continues to happen. It's almost as if they are trying to say they are the ones who have the right to be angry for being caught. That isn't going to work.

The more they say the less is answered and the more questions come up. They sound stressed. Would be so simple to provide legitimately requested information to answer questions that arose from their own behavior and stop that stress.

Simple. No mileage should be accumulating if he isn't spotted running, no more slow rolling rv miles. I guess we now get to see how long he can stay awake and what pace he reaches and holds for the next weeks. Given the earlier claims on this run regarding his ability to hold a good pace unsuported for 35-40 miles through the desert and the same at altitude day after day after day shouldn't be too hard for him to stay awake and hold pace. Should be easy since he likes to stay awake for days and has said in the past he just needs 6 double espressos and 15 sugars to come back to life and start throwing down 5 minute miles for miles on end.

What is so strange about wondering what the %#$^ is up with some car that starts following you around at 2 AM in the middle of nowhere?

This is a good example of the BS I was referring to, OK.

Someone is doing a well-publicised run where they are running at night - understand this point - at night - and they have said people are welcome to join - any prizes for guessing when people are going to turn up?

Someone turns up with no runner in sight and the RV going at running speed, this person on foot is then supposed to be a threat to a number of individuals in a vehicle - get real, if they are that afraid why are they even out at night without their mothers?

You just MIGHT do well to learn the difference between what you know, and what you read on a trollfest message board. But hey, you are an Expert Kip Watcher, what do I know.

Anyone care to point out to Rob (and crew), the 2:10am video I posted was filmed AFTER I ran up behind the rv? Rob should have been hanging pretty close to the rv at that point, and keeping his flashlight handy...

Nice comment Asher which seems to have flown under the radar.

Yeah, they'd quickly gotten over their apprehensions and fears about axe wielding lunatics and left Rob totally unattended minutes and hundreds of yards behind the RV to go though town at 2:10am all alone.

This whole thing is a feckin' joke.
