The best thing about those Twitchhunt & marathon cheating threads are the absolute batsh1t crazy responses from the guilty parties. I always wonder what sort of person would cheat just to say they’ve completed a race when they haven’t and the behaviour when they get caught gives a slightly scary insight into that question. God only knows what they are like in their other walks of life.

Yes that is the best. Some just double down and continue the lie. If they owned up immediately the pitch forks would be lowered and everyone would forget about it. Instead it spawns pages of everyone turning Colombo trying to unearth the truth,
One of my favourite ones on the marathon site was the woman who went back out in the afternoon and created a fake garmin trace on her bike. She was eventually caught out completely when he purchased the hi-res finish line photo of her and zoomed in on her Garmin showing the actual time/distance recorded on the run.

Ha ha ha - that’s quite funny.
Back in 2012-ish I used to amend some Strava files to p!$$ my colleague off; I hunted the co-ordinates for his segments, ran them, downloaded the GPX, then slightly amended the times.
I used to crack me up watching him go back out to beat those segment times
The whole thread is a bit like being on the inside of a schizoid episode!
Some people seem to generate new usernames for almost every post they make, and then converse with themselves.
The OP says they have one username when they started posting and another when posting from their phone. WTF?

He’s getting up at 3am to do a bike ride and he wonders why he’s tired?

Sounds to me like he didn’t realise how much commitment it takes…and his family aren’t happy about it.
But, isn’t he going to be lousy to be around all day if he is getting up at 3am to ride and then spend time with his family?
Silly boy - Kona just isn’t worth that!
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I find a 200TSS ride at 6am leaves me pretty pooped for the rest of the day…but then I am closer to 50 than I am 40 nowadays…
The long rides batter me much more than shorter intense sessions, I suspect I’m doing them too hard.
I should pay more attention to TSS

The ITU thread, its laughable and why all the disrespect for a 21 year old kid! There are a lot of yanks that seem to have inside knowledge of the GB setup 
They should stick to Lionel and Ironman
Don’t forget NewMan posts on there now, after he left TT

Was that the Ironman after a break-up IMFL thread? Although they do seem to get a lot of course cutters over there.
That one was spectacular.

What’s 200TSS?
(despite being fairly knowledgable about training blah blah, I refuse to buy into the whole training peaks data and graph stuff.)
