J.R. is adament that performance enhancing drugs do not enhance performance. He thinks you want to test him just to mess with him.
Think this is worth repeating, perhaps add to any emails sent to Chuck Sellers - DQ Events Race Director, Email:
cisellers@verizon.netOn 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.
Leading up to the November 1, 2015 NYC Marathon, Mr. Rossi tweeted his bib# and other tweets about the pending race. But like most big talkers, he bailed out of the race and downplayed it by saying he hadn't really trained much, if at all, due to an injury. To say that he talks and tweets out of both sides of his mouth would be a gross understatement.
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. – Seems reasonable.
Two weeks later, on November 28, 2015, he participated in the Haddon Township 5K Turkey Trot. In this event, his gun time was 21:07 and net time was 20:25, a 42 second differential, which is quite large. At the finish, in an anticipation of a sub-20 time, he began his usual provoking and triumphant tweet(s). Oops…he did it again because when the official times were posted, he predictably deleted his immediate post-race tweets, changed his tune and claimed that he had a shoe malfunction (really, a show malfunction?) and for his uniformed followers and KoolAid drinkers, he went the sympathy route claiming he sprained his ankle post-race and tweeted a picture of just an ankle (whose ankle no one knows). How convenient. Oh yeah, he then locked his Twitter account confirming that he can dish it out and but he can't take it. So sophomoric, petulant and elementary schoolish. So Rossi.
