It's still a shame noone actually showed up that infamous Saturday morning to witness the whole thing.
On October 24, 2015, Mr. Rossi participated in the Brain Injury Challenge: Race for Recovery 5K (let the puns begin), with a time of 23:51. This is the race in which he said it was the first race in months, claiming 1st in his age group and 9th overall. Yeah! Atta boy.
He tweeted his bib# for the NYC Marathon and proceeded to make provoking tweets about the NYC Marathon. After much speculation and stupidity, he did not show up and attributed it to an "injury" and that he hadn’t really trained or run much all fall due to the so called injury.
On November 14, 2015, he again participated in another 5K, the Rocky Run. In this race, his gun time was 21:49 and net time was 21:46, a mere 3 second difference.
Two weeks later, on November 28, 2015, he participated in the Haddon Heights 5K Turkey Trot (Turkey puns anyone?). In this event, his gun time was 21:07 and net time was 20:25, a 42 second differential. At the finish, in an anticipation of the sub-20 time, he began his provoking and triumphant tweet(s). Oops…he did it again, when the official times were posted, he predictably deleted his tweets immediate post-race tweets and then changes his tune and claims that he had a shoe malfunction (along the lines of wardrobe malfunction) and for his uniformed followers and KoolAid drinkers, went the sympathy root and claimed he sprained his ankle (more puns here) post-race. How convenient. Oh yeah, he then locked his tweeter account confirming that he can dish it out and but he can't take it. So sophomoric, petulant and elementary schoolish.
By the way Mr. Rossi, how did you sprain your ankle? Let me guess, you won't share that information.
