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

I think LR should have a Rossi Run. The participant medal should be HUGE and SHINY and the best cheater wins.

The race photo company would go broke. [quote]iiagdtr wrote:

Not explicitly:

"So we’ll also give him $10,000 if by the end of 2015 he breaks 70:00 in a standard 10-mile course or 20:00 for 5k."

But maybe it's implied because '5k' is in the same sentence as 'standard 10-mile course'.

This is a useful insight into why you pretend to be truthful, you have redefined truthful to mean anything you say.

Wow. You must be the lamest troll ever. One click here, and everyone can clearly see that I am speaking the truth (directly citing letsrun) and you are lying again:

Bingo.Rosie Ruiz would be the keynote speaker. Yes, we should invite her to say whatever she cares to say.

The medal will be a pair of car keys. Age group awards will be EZ Passes with "1" "2" or "3".

Mass production of the green Mike Rossi shirts. No Rossi race would be complete without one.

Maybe I suggest a $31.10 registration fee?

Ok kids, I need a summary of the last 20 pages. Other than smartrunnr lies, what did I miss?

Rocky Rossi breaking 20 is just the same as Rocky in the film, a figment of someone's imagination.

Mikey old pal, sorry to disillusion you but 'Rocky' was a sham, fake, you know just like..., well yeah, you know, just like you Mikey.

We are waiting to see race photos of Mike Rossi in a Philly area 5K.

So, you haven't missed much since page one of this thread, only this time it is a 5K, not a marathon.

Presumably, Rossi's children did not miss any school time to watch him run the Rocky Balboa 5K, so this one isn't likely to go viral.

This is the best page on the thread in a while.

More lying, just like your "evidence" that was a photo of someone else. Redefining 5K to mean any distance you like is remarkably similar thinking to saying driving 25 miles of a marathon entitles someone to claim they finished it.

You mad, bro?

Why don't you click at my evidence, realize that I spoke of course the truth, and then apologize?

And for the records, lame troll: I did not redefine "5K mean any distance like"; I only pointed out that according to the challenge, it doesn't have to be certified - to which rojo agreed. So by your "logic", did rojo lie as well?

He also said "He has to prove he runs a sub-20 5 km race. The burden is on him, not me."

However, Rojo as well as anyone (besides you) with any modicum of sense knows that when it comes to proving anything besides being a liar, Rossi has steadfastly been unwilling to provide any proof besides the same vacuous statements that you are infamous for.

I love this idea. And maybe some of the $31.10 can go toward videographers on the course? Because Philly to Boston, baby.

No, just calmly pointing out your lies and distortions, given your continual lying only newcomers to the thread won't have worked you out yet.

Anyone who seriously thinks a 5K time means anything on a course that isn't accurately measured and certified as such either doesn't know much about running or is intentionally being deceitful.

If I were Rojo I would add the stipulation that the 5K attempt has to be notified to him in advance so he can monitor course-cutting as well as a short course.

Rojo's 10K is safe, it was only through 2015 and its clear that Rossi isn't breaking 20 this year. This was by far the easiest target of all of the ones he provided.

Agreed about a fair attempt at a real 5K that was really not less than 5000 metres and without cheating . . . . .
