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

LOL @ Ken's latest LMGTFY tweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get why Ken hopes they get a divorce. Divorce is tough on kids.

Ken's wife divorced him.

Stillman tweets 12 times on 12/12 and 13/ times on 12/13 all about M.

Has 13 followers on paper. Between that and this thread, this thread 'community' is basically his life. And he "takes a little care of his mom" so he lives with her. Care to wager on who pays the mortgage/rent in that deal???? And of course he has a 'girlfriend' but there is never any proof of that.

That said, when you post stuff on here about him, be nice, as it is his last place to come for interaction, affirmation, and affection not just on the internet but pretty much the world.

she should probably wait until the kids go to college. Just run around on the guy. Philly is a good city to cheat

He hasn't waited...

He hasn't run around anywhere.

Mike,

That video proves not a thing. Remember we found you registered on this turkey trot not you coming forward.

Also if you knew your time that day what was the deal with the "results soon tweet".

Lastly if you really train like that video you are a serious running injury waiting to happen. There are plenty of good training threads on this site and/or Runnersworld to learn about proper training. Some good books too.

Shows how little he knows about anything. He thought posting those times on those dates would be compelling support for his amazing 5k. What a t*rd

Intereting that this race started following Mike:

He isn't registered yet.

Does anybody out there actually know Mike Rossi fairly well?

The reason I ask is, and I worried about this months ago and I think I mentioned it - but does anyone know for sure if Mike wasn't in a car accident or had in some other way suffered a head injury? I'm not saying this to be mean or insulting, but so much of what he does, and then after this weekends antics, keeps adding up to a serious mental disability. Others have mentioned occam's razor - the easiest explanation is usually the answer - and a head injury is the most likely explanation for all of his unusual and extraordinarily sad behaviour.

I say this because I don't know him and from an outsider's perspective, it appears as though he has a serious mental disability, so maybe we shouldn't discount that as an explanation for all of this? For example, his belief that as a wedding DJ he is "partying with the guests" and has "new friends". If he was serving the buns he would think he was "eating dinner with his great new buddies"? That is exactly the sort of thing someone with a mental disability/head injury would do - a distorted view of what he perceives is occurring from what is actually occurring. It explains the arrested development and why he has only ever worked part time, because he can't handle full time work so still does his college job.

Anyway - after catching up on this weekends antics, just how sad it was, I just started worrying that maybe we are making fun of a guy with a disability. Almost seems impossible that he doesn't have one, but I don't know. Maybe someone else does?

You have a point, but could someone with a head injury / disorder handle a wife and two kids, and marathon training and gym training? Obviously he didn't run a 3:11 marathon but he did run a 4 hour marathon which is respectable for a 48 year old.

Honestly, I think this whole thing has had a major effect on him and he is now realizing how screwed he is. Honestly, if I were in his position I would be losing my mind. I almost salute him for ability to hold the lie.

so, I do not believe we are making fun of a guy with a disablity

Would be great if someone shopped a photo of Rossi naturally bald. The big hairline one on twitter is ideal.

I'd do it but too lazy.

Trolling Mike isn't contingent on him getting DQ'd. It will simply go on until he gives up and admits to his cheating.

Where is the DQ loser?

Love your "Where is the DQ loser" act. I doesn't get old at all. Kind of like Mike's selfie pictures, his calling out his imaginary friends on Twitter, his undesired crashing of wedding parties, his drunk posts, his angry posts, his attack of local news personalities, his attack of school personnel, his on and off of twitter and the fact that he never ever ran a 3:11:45.

Barb McKeever wins!

Absolutely not. He just has an inherent inability to be honest. #MikeRossiCheater

Can't wait for 20,000 posts and ZERO DQs.

You can't get it done.

I've read every page but have never posted.

Mike, you cheated. At Via. And in a Turkey Trot, Mike. Lashing out at the "trolls" only further proves your guilt. It's not just 12 skinny guys who think you cheated. It's all the others, like me, who read this board and don't post. It's your friends, your neighbors. And your family, Mike. They know too. EVERYBODY knows.

In a few weeks I'll do my second marathon. I'm slow. My time will suck. I won't qualify for Boston. But my accomplishment won't be diminished. My friends and family will still congratulate me. Most will be in awe simply because I got out there and ran. They'll think nothing less of me because I didn't BQ. I can enjoy a casual run, the fresh air, moving as fast or as slow as I chose that day. The wonderful, awesome joy of just going for a run. A beautiful gift. I won't be subject to a lifetime of faking my Nike + log, of posting threats on Twitter, and of cringing every time someone Googles my name.

Speaking of Google - it's rough, man. It will take months or years to change the relevance rankings. At a minimum, you should separate your business Twitter (you know, when you party with your "friends") from your Middle School Girl Twitter. Clients don't like seeing their wedding professional making death threats.

And - Where is the DQ loser? Your latest attack line is as effective as all the others. A DQ would be great, but it won't tell us anything we don't already know. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Happy Running!!

ros•sied

Pronunciation: (rôs eed), [key]

—v.

to willfully cut or cheat on a measured, set course as part of a running event with the intent to deceive and with total disregard for participants and organizers of the event.

If the running event was a victim of someone cheating/cutting the course then you could say they got \\\"rossied\\\"

Where is the DQ?

You should stick to lurking.

Lots of these lately. I believe there are many more lurkers on this thread than we realize (even if they only stop by occasionally). I guess I'm kinda one of them, I've posted less than 10 times but have followed along since the beginning.

what about the -ing from???? "Rossing", "Rossiing" or "Rossi-ing"

used in a sentence:

"I just saw some duck looking guy with hair plugs Rossiing the race"
