Mike Rossi's Quest for $100,000.... Delayed

Who?

Mike Rossi tweeted "#go time" right before the start of the NYC Marathon. Then someone on the Letsrun thread acknowledged that twitter uses location and his location of the "#go time" tweet was Pennsylvania. Rossi then deleted the post. I feel sorry for his famly

Hi Mike!

The fact there was so little to say on yet another deception attempt probably made you have that queer sensation.

Thanks for this.

I get really weirded out by the stalkers in the Rossi thread.

I thought there was a problem. I typed his last name in the athlete tracking box and there were about 15 runners with that last name but there was no Mike listed.

That would seem to indicate that he was never registered.

No, it indicates he never picked up his bib. His name was showing previously.

so that would indicate that Mr. Rossi deposited $266 down the loo.

That is a lot of coin to waste on a no-show.

Don't you have to raise money to run NYC? Does that money still go to NYCM?

Maybe the person he was going to pace backed out due to injury or something?

Nah, I don't think that is the reason, either!

#gotime

i meant

#notime

Is it possible to know if his race packet was picked up? I wonder if he had a "ringer" who was going to run in his place, but he had to call it off once it was learned he wasn't in NYC? I'm sure a make-up artist could easily pull this off. 100K is a lot of dough.

And on the completely opposite end of the Rossi Spectrum, see what Kyle and Brent Pease are doing in NY. Kyle has CP and being pushed by brother Brent. The left wheel came apart around mi 13 and Brent is running with a rope around his neck.shoulder and wrapped around the axle to keep the chair level. Freakin' insane! They are almost to the finish....see if you can get an interview PLEASE!http://liveresults.nyrr.org/e/NY2015#/tracker/RCSFL8KZ

An update on Mike Rossi, the man LetsRun.com will pay $100,000 if he runs a 3:11:45 marathon or better by 7/17/2016.

Rossi from everything we can determine did not start today's TCS NYC Marathon which he was entered in.

Our $100,000 is definitely safe for today.

If you're not uptodate on Rossi read this article:

and this thread:

I think if it *was* picked up, he'd have been trackable.

No, everyone is scared of Rossi because he continually posts pictures of gangster movies on his Twitter feed to intimidate people.

Doesn't get any tougher than that.

Mike Rossi. If you are reading this thread, please contact me. I'll run under your name at the race of your choosing. We can split the money 70/30. That' a cool 30K for you. Let me know.
