You’d almost think he never wants to go home again!

Whatever happened to those 70-mile days in 12 hours?
I’ve got it...After 73 days of failing to break this record, he could just keep traveling around the world, failing to break records all over, hackers in tow! Win win.
Al ran on about 600 miles of rocks that they call a road shoulder in Newfoundland, but don’t worry: you’ll never make it there.
Jokes on all of you. I’m actually Dave. Just hyping up my record and trying to bring down that PHONEY Al HOEY. What a chode.
You’ll never get a date with those jokes!
Isn’t there some “technology”, some website, where you can learn how to laugh? It won’t help Dave, but there’s still hope for my youthful troll frenemies. It must be Hell, trapped in a car on the prairies with such a mirthless crew, and still 7 weeks to go!
Dude this Jesse guy actually thinks the people on this thread are Dave’s crew ?
Currently parked in the “suburbs” of Elie (pop. 550), once known for Canada’s fastest tornado, but currently hosting it’s slowest & dumbest trans-Canada runner!
Which will end first: the weeks-long leg to Winnipeg (currently 5 days behind Al); the hacks by the increasingly embittered crew; or the 21st century?
Wonder what record they’ll be claiming to try for tomorrow...
Dave has a crew? He’d make better time with a water bottle & a tip jar...
With this much time, he’d be a pretty good fiddle player by now...
Good emoji (just learned that word).
But I’d recommend real emotions instead, just takes practice...as does multi-day running.
Great research
! We also know that the 3100-mile, currently the longest race in the world, they’ve achieved up to 77 miles a day doing 18-hour days.
Needless to say, they’re far more experienced than Proctor. And it took many years of holding the event to achieve it as well.
Well, we can theorize that he’s not doing it properly, it’s more a question if these unprecedented numbers are even possible.
Some of those hacks I’ll leave up, since they foreshadowed what actually happened...
My director always said, When you have a really great line, don’t act it! It already rings true. Having said that, this script is really gonna need a professional polish. When they made “Magnolia” (sordid characters forced to face the truth), the action takes place in one day for dramatic effect.
This production is running late & over budget. Keep up the donations, people, they’re bleeding cash...
Now you know why I wrote that editorial, harder to hack...

I did it myself. David Blaikie of Ultramarathon Canada instructed me. All on paper, including hundreds of witnesses roadside. Plus, famous runners met us. UltraRunning magazine still has my articles online
If Al was your departed friend or family member, you would want the same respect & seriousness with the record-keeping that we want, the same seriousness that I had in ‘91. Sixth place is different from first place, and Al is dead.
Ironically, one of the first mass-marketed uses of gps was to fake a “global” run (the infamous Robert “Far Side” Garside). Of course technology makes it easier to cheat, since there’s only one way to do it right, always will be...
Keep hacking, they’re getting paid by the word....
Reminds me of the joke about how you can only get lost halfway in the woods, because after that you’re coming out again. Our Lost Children are bushwhacking through wheat fields, searching in vain for Winnipeg, barely a third of the way...
Already I’m nostalgic for those good old days...Heckuva case of blisters, they’ve lasted almost a month!

Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
