Meticulously planned course cutting, coming back on course to make sure he went through the timing mats at the right time for his pace. Set mara age group world records doing so.

yes he was a bit more meticulous than the guy at VLM who went through half way in 2 hrs or something and jumped the barrier and did the second half in faster than world record pace

That’s pretty standard / opportunistic cheating. What this guy did was purposeful and done over many races to achieve world record times which is something completely different.
Doesn’t excuse hounding him until it drove him to suicide.

What else is Peter Ubes going to choose?
There’s a forum I sometimes use where everyone who signed up originally was given a username of their first two initials followed by their surname, so John Edward Smith would be jesmith etc. Later on they let people choose their usernames.
There was one poster Tanya who I assumed was female.
Nope. Mr T A Nya.

I often wonder if Chip aka Record10Carbon is still alive. He seemed to live life on the edge!
I miss Uli Fhume on there, he used to get stuck into Empfield a fair bit.
There’s an absolute doozy on Slowtwitch at the moment, which started as a thread on Lionel Sanders post Kona analysis video and is now some of his acolytes convinced he could mix it in WTCS races. With everyone else going

“so then he has to push 400w for 10 min or so to catch the back pack.”
Someone needs to look at at ITU power file if they think “The LION” they can ride 400watts and catch the 2nd pack from 3 minutes down
They really are clueless on how fast ITU is.
