BAA was alerted to threats on message boards
real 30k 1:59:09
Reports from shadows state that shortly after 30k, he stopped running & left the course. If he returns he will DQ. One of the guys says he has pics on his cell phone- will post if I can get them.
So far, no other splits have registered.
HE'S OUT. DONE.

Was there a bike stashed nearby?
Looks like Kip's playing games with us.

I'm sure BAA really was monitoring the situation carefully in response to "threats". Did Litton have a police escort in the Athlete Village?
He didn't run.
No way he ran.
No kip in the mens 50+ results list... no splits on the individual... so DNS? DNF?
Dane Rauschenberg is a warm weather specialist who has been posting some unbelievable splits during recent sundry victories.
Had he run Boston this year, I am confident he would have cracked the top 10. Google 'Active Altitude Rauschenberg" for information on a great upcoming project.
For DukerDog's contest purposes, I think it's fair to say Kip was a DNS today, not a DNF. Whether that's a DNS with or without an excuse, we'll have to see.
Details to follow.
Maybe his bike was stolen?
Or his change of shoes?
Or his accomplice met a hot Wellesley coed and bailed?

Today's 2012 Boston Marathon DNS - 4/16/2012
Kip was indeed at Athlete's Village yesterday. I saw a guy walking through the tent that caught my attention. He was dressed in black with long tights on and a jacket. It was warm at that time of morning so he stuck out like a sore thumb. He resembled what I remember Kip looking like from the photos linked on this thread a while ago. He was taller than I thought he would be though.
I followed the guy and got in line behind him at the porta-potties. I started small talk with him and asked him where he was from. He said Michigan. He also said had qualified at Charlotte Thunder Road. He said he just wanted to go under 4:00 and was going to start in the second wave even though the was seeded in the first wave. I asked him if his name was Kip and he seemed very surprised and answered yes. I told him that there were a lot people that thought he cheated in marathons. He said nothing and walked away.
Did anyone else see him there?
I know the above post as well as much from yesterday is bs, but I still am wondering if Kip picked up his bib and ran dechipped. I can't imagine a troll wasting the entry fee as part of a joke. We'll have to wait until the pictures are out.
Surely What Next could supply us with a bid # of his buddy, so that sorting through pictures and splits would be much easier :)
*BIB*
At the risk of raising a red flag in front of a whole lotta bull...
If Kip actually did pick up his bib but DNSed, he may be eligible for the heat-triggered deferral option offered by the BAA:

(Yeah, I know, right? This thread can continue for another YEAR?)

Are you Kip?
I'm pretty sure that the two guys tracking from yesterday is not true since he told me that he would start in wave 2 and was going to shoot for 4:00. I did talk with a guy who I'm 100% sure was Kip. It has been verified that he picked up his bib too.
dimes to dollars that he was in Michigan. you guys are a bunch of suckers. the majority of the posts on this thread are from the same trolls using different handles.
he was in the Athlete's Village? Sure...now I've heard it all!!!!!!
he's not an elite runner and would not go on explaining himself to a total stranger who would have no reason to ask such questions.
the gigs up and he knows that everyone knows it. next thing will be that he's running NYC and the spies will start watching and reporting on his training.

Go on explaining himself? It's called small talk. Some runners are actually social you know. Our whole conversation lasted a only a couple of minutes.
