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

meaningless, Rossi ran 21:07 gun and 20:25 chip, so why would a 21:07 gun time ever pass a 20:53 time??

Some people are as bad as you at working out times it appears.

Having said that I wouldn't call a saunter fully dressed from the start mat to the finish area "running".

you can't prove it, just talk

you let him win, all of you, especially FanboyKen, like he had something better to do than go there with his video, course we'd wait until 6 months to get the video so maybe not worth it

Talking about yourself in the third person is odd but not as odd as faking a Nike GPS plot and thinking anyone would be fooled, why would an innocent person do that?

Own up, move on and this thread will die.

I think this is the guy who needs to be contacted.

Yes. This guy finished 7 seconds after Rossi, if my math is right. He and Jake are key witnesses.

The magic that is Bosley

Would it be wrong for Rossi to scout the 2016 Olympic Marathon course? If there are loops or places he can park his car in Brazil, I think he could go sub 45 minutes.

USA! USA! USA!!!!

The hot and humid conditions are excellent for Rossi, VIA-esque.

Think there will be some serious fermenting going on under that black hat though.

So he really threw Barb McKeever under the bus. The one person weak enough/gullible enough to allow the Mike Rossi fiasco.

Well done, Barb McKeever. Do not race her events. Do not allow her to manage your races.

Well, 8 seconds. The math isn't really that difficult here. 21:15 - 21:07

Some of his tweets are great, like this one. I welcome the funny stuff

Ken is a POS and I don't get why some people here support him in any way.

Mike didn't run the course. He used his selfie stick to wave the chip over the mat at the finish, so he wouldn't have needed to pass anyone.

He ran a 20:53 chip time with an almost identical gun time. I contacted him through Strava - he said nobody passed him after the first mile.

So I was contacted by someone in regards to this website and a guy named Rossi. I was asked if he passed me. I do not know this person but I was passed at around the two and a half mile mark by a guy with the exact same build as this person and the exact same sunglasses. I know he was wearing black shoes that had colorful lines. He was probably in his early 40s if were to guess.

0/10 on doing anything substantive on this thread as well

no dq for VIA

no dq for Boston

no dq for Haddon or anything else

this thread is a tempest in a teapot,

a chance presented itself at Haddon to go catch something, but no one went, which means no one on the thread really cares enough to put words into action, especially FanboyKen, whose obsession is borders on inFATuation

great job, now you are all proving he actually did run 21:07 on a .05 long course and may have run 20:25 on that

keep it up and you will turn his win into absolute victory

It was cold, an hour away, and I was out late seeing Jeffery Gaines at Steel City. Man, he has an incredible voice.

If he runs something closer I'll go and film it.

Also proving, once again, Mike is a cheating, lying, deceiving imbecile enabled by Barb McKeever, 2+ hr half marathoner and one of America's Worst RDs.

Yeah, right. And my name is Jake Aylmer too.
