Yeah, you are right. If Dave started an hour late to cheat, it would only make logical sense that he would have needed to take some kind of non-foot transport to make it in time for mile 9.
Another possibility is that Dave actually ran the whole London Marathon at the proper start time but that an accomplice held onto his timing chip at the start line and crossed over the line an hour after the start thinking he/she could get the chip start time they were looking for. Hmmmm, I need to double check the email chains I have to see if they place Terrie Reading at the London Marathon since they at least show that Dave was communicating to Terrie at the finish line. Will be interesting if I find evidence that Terrie was there.
If he started at 10 am with no chip and ran it ALL properly then he'd not have finished until around 3.15pm as he runs over 5 hour marathons.
He claims 4:19 which means he'd be finishing at at least 2.19pm.
He can't run a 4:19.
Need to look at others who finished with him to see THEIR time.
Remember, 5 grand was at stake, so worth the hassle.
