I don't know why this bugs me so much, but I'm in a bit of a BUNDLE right now!!
A week ago on the biggest loser a guy was kicked off and claimed he was training for an Ironman, but his distances were WAY off, so that chapped me a bit. I'm all for FACT CHECKING!! An ironman is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run. Not an 80 mile bike ride as claimed!

So this last week the guy that got the boot claimed to have run a local marathon. They showed him running with his wife, crossing the finish line, and taking pics with their finishers medals all happy and cheerful- complete with cheering family...
The problem is a van picked them up around the 17 mile mark and drove them about three miles to get them closer to the finish!!!
So they CHEATED!!
Yeah it probably had something to do with "production schedules", but THEY DIDNT RUN A MARATHON!! So they shouldnt be CLAIMING to have run one!!
Oh- and in the wifes apology she states that they are a religious family!! Sheesh!! I don't care, there is NO WAY I would go along with a lie like that!
You either ran 26.2 miles, at which point you can claim to have completed a marathon, or you did not. You ran 23 miles- great accomplishment, but NOT a marathon!!
Oh- and it gets better... the clock behind them clearly clocked them at 5:53, and the show claimed they did it in 3:53!
arrghhhh i hate being DUPED!
Tell the TRUTH! He attempted to run the marathon, but in reality would have gone over the 6 hour time limit for that race. So he would not have made it. Just tell us that he tried but came up short! There is no shame in that.
sheesh!!
