Absolutely fail, claims he ran a 2:43 via negative split but he normally runs a 6:00 marathon and is actually pretty overweight.

He's not the first politician to lie about their running prs.
It looks like he is actively pursuing a house seat too, smh, what is wrong with people?
Unfortunately recent elections have shown there is no downside to telling outrageous lies.
Quick read of his boast on the way to 2hr43 ... shows he can't even do maths.
States he started off at 7min/mile then sped up to 6:40 and then from the half went for 6:15-25.
If you run the first half at 6:40 (1hr27), you have to run the 2nd half at 5:48/mile (1hr16) to make up the deficit.
I checked his FB looks like he set all his political crap to public or deleted those pages and then set his FB page to private as people were spamming the article on it, Lol.
It seems crazy to me how many people appear to cheat. This guy busts someone out once a week and thats just people he catches, imagine all the people he doesn't catch.
He is now off of the list of Boston registrants.

Awww man. You mean to tell me I cant apply his race strategy @ NYC this fall? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good catch. Some people believe they can BS their way through anything, including a disproportionate share of politicians.
Lol, you don't even need to look at splits... the eyeball test tells you he's not a BQer let alone 2:43 guy. It is sadly pretty easy to cheat on some courses. I ran a BQ eligible marathon on an out-and-back course - no checkpoints anywhere, very few photographers and sparse crowds. It would be easy for someone to just turn around early.
There's one thing about being a cheater and a liar and another thing about reasoning well.
I am actually impressed he got through a half in 2:43 with all that man butter he carries around on him.
Something tells me that some of this guys half marathon times may not be legit and he could have course cut. Too bad those races don't have many timing mats.

And neither party is willing to throw their liars under the bus.
Some democrat in NY lied about her past (being an immigrant and growing up 'working class' rather than wealthy) and they started writing articles about how it is common for millennials to lie about their upbringing for street cred.
A Republican in Florida lied about her college degree and they started complaining about how you don't need to have a degree to be smart of successful.
Aspiring politician might be more accurate.
He's taken down his campaign website, but he finished comfortably last out of four candidates in the primary, including a Dem (in a very red district).
According to this interview with a local TV station, he is a former Navy guy who left to get his college degree and is currently working on his masters:

I find it hard to understand why someone with certain career ambitions would lie about something that can so easily (and publicly) be disproved.

Is that because you don’t cheat or because you cheat well?

I bet you can't even run a sub 5 hour marathon. You are probably one of the walkers behind Larry Macon.
Just one look at this guy says he’s not even close to a BQ marathoner. I don’t normally fat shame, but when you’re actively trying to cheat others out of a Boston time and you’re bragging about it while trying to run for office, you deserve everything that comes your way. Absolutely disgusting, both his actions and his pictures.
