Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Let's not confuse the issue here

MoS's daughter got a legit BQ at Steamtown [under her own name, I'm assuming] and she'll be getting her own bib, so there's no need for her to take the bib-copy route here. Unless, perhaps, she wants to sneak in a friend or two, then she could just copy her own



Rumor has it, Mike Rossi ran it for her.
Then, it's just the ol' squat, catch and pitch...--Makeda

ETA: Just to clarify, they're still the same Circle of Hell

First Circle: People Who Fudge Their Training Logs
Second Circle: Bike Thieves
Third Circle: Race Bandits, Bib-Swappers, Bib-Copiers, and Those Who Take TWO Finishers Medals
Fourth Circle: Dopers, Course Cutters, and Other Assorted Cheats
Fifth Circle: Gamblers, Sportswriters, and People Who Make up Charity Scams
Sixth Circle: Sports Agents
Seventh Circle: Team Owners
Eighth Circle: League Commissioners
Ninth Circle: Al Davis ... Alone for now, but saving spaces for  Jerry Jones, OJ, Joe Buck, The Krzyzewski/Pitino/Calipari Triumvirate and Roger Goodell

It's time we also revisited the issue of women being allowed to participate.

I'm cool with it. I don't mind spending a few hours chasing ponytails

BUT ... if she's got a FAKE bib, or someone else's bib, or she's not wearing a bib at all ... How am I supposed to successfully, cyber-stalk her later?

This Hell is kinda sports-specific, thanks, but you are correct

I made it by a bit, BQ-XX (-56 minutes actually but no one here would notice) and will wear cheap sunglasses to be incognito.

Bet you were worried😅.    I see you still must be crazy fast!

I used a bib mule. I actually weigh close to 300 lb.

We had better get RandM and VP on it!

I'll stick to running, thank you.

I'm not buying it, Wilson

You don't fit the Double Letter Cheater Identification Protocol, e.g., Kip Litton, Mike Rossi, Julie Miller, Kelly Roberts, and many others

I might get in for 2019😂🤣🤣🤣.  i walked so much that I didn't really look at my run splits.  i guess there are benefits of becoming old.

Yes, I often ask myself "Assuming I can stay healthy and not slow down significantly, how old do I need to be to get in Boston?'"

I should be able to make it next year, actually [if it was something I was remotely interested in]

I think I could meet the open standard if I actually trained...or didn't ride my bike before the marathon🤣

You could ride your bike DURING the marathon

Or you could cut the course, then ride your bike afterwards

Wait, does your real name have double letters in it anywhere? [see my post above]
