What say you COJ?

As long as he doesn't wear a finishers t-shirt I'd leave him alone.

bandits are a disgrace to the sport.  he should be fined and banned from racing.

Invite a Marine buddy in to talk about his tours of duty...

Let's just get his name and masacre him quickly and painfully.  The other marathon pirate / bandit thread has taken a turn down a path that we might not be able to recover from.

He obviously did Kona in 9:17.  I mean, he's giving swimming advice at the Y.  Duh

Just flat out ask him!  Don't go down the road of the other thread about the marathon.  We may never get resolution to that one but for this one there's hope

This story could have a tragic ending if he lied about his lifeguard training/certifications to get his job.

Does he have a IM tattoo... there's your answer right there.

Hopefully the YMCA knows its requirements and has copies of his Red Cross Certification on file.  They will also find out quickly if he has it or not at the monthly required trainings at a YMCA.  I said hopefully!!!!  :-)

I have a friend who's very prone to exaggeration.  She said she got accepted to an MBA program and law school to start in February (neither of which do), when she actually doesn't even have a BA/BS degree.  She also claimed that she drove herself home after a hysterectomy (no way a hospital would release her without a ride home).  I didn't believe her when she told me she had cervical cancer.  Sadly, it's true.  I felt awful doubting her but given her past claims, I didn't really believe her until she went through chemo.  When she actually had the hysterectomy, I kind of called her on her previous claim.  I didn't want to kick her when she was down so I wasn't too hard on her.  Turns out I wasn't the only one questioning her stories; another friend had the same reaction.  Sad that some people feel so small that they have to inflate their stories to feel worthy of attention.
