LAS VEGAS MARATHON NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, GOOD QUOTES

Congrats to whichever member of the Hansons-Brooks team that wrote the previous message. You guys ran awesome in Austin. It looks like Vegas could have used you guys but I appreciate the boycott.

how about a list then:

beach to beacon (how does joanie put up with this guy?)

borden 8K in texas

Las vegas marathon

any other races he does??

true

Dallas White Rock

Dubai

and I do think a few others...

I emailed Larry in early Nov my race resume and PR's so the issue of emailing Larry the last minute was false for me. I requested info what they consider elite and if I qualified. I continued to email him once every 3 weeks. He emailed two weeks before the race and said there is no funding. I often get my airfare and lodging comped for other races but I still wanted to run Las Vegas for the fun of it even if I was told there was no funding.

When I won prize money, I needed to ask somebody regarding where I can pick up my check. I asked around and nobody knew. I was then told to go inside the elite athlete tent to inquire. I had to beg to be let inside the tent area. Inside the tent I was directed to a man who knew about the prize money. I politely told the man I won prize money. He told in a stern way that I was not an elite so get the hell out. The lady next to him told me I was in the way and this tent is for elites only she then also rudely told me to get out now.

I prefer not to name names on this message board but I am going to send a letter to Devine Racing. I encourage you all to do the same. I am very dissapointed in this race. Elite or non-elite status does not matter. The fact remains they were extremely rude.

Hey Christian, great race!

For those of you not in the know:

1 1:06:20 1:06:18 5:04 CHRISTIAN HESCH MORRO BAY CA 1/128 M2529

Perhaps all the comps went to the 'children of infamous':

30 1:16:18 1:16:13 5:50 DENNIS HELLEBUYCK ALBUQUERQUE NM 6/59 M1824

Not bad for a high schooler!

Slow of brain that I am, it took me until now to realize you guys are talking about Larry Barthlow the sub 2:12 (?) marathoner coached by Jack Daniels. He was with Wetmore at Global agency but branched out on his own. Nice enough guy when I knew him in Boston...

I wasn't there, though I have had athletes who have had major problems with Larry as an EAC. (Vegas and Beach to Beacon)

One thing I suggested to USATF was that there should be some control by the governing body over races that they sanction. One point was that in no way should an agent be allowed to be an EAC. Conflict of interest, pure and simple. Larry and other agents will always look out for their own. It puts more money in their pocket.

When I've brought this up in the past, I get looks like I've got two heads. Anyone have any thoughts? This could be looked into if the athletes feel it is a worthy cause.

this guy larry was an ass, if you weren't an african or one of the female russians/ UKR he treated you like shit. I saw him kissing their asses, and shitting on the others.

He was sick all week too! Word goes out that he can run under 1:10.

He'll be a great marathoner!

Currently he's participating in the Belgian Championships.

Goodluck Dennis!

Good luck Dennis !!!

I don't think Larry Barthlow is an agent anymore.
