Rojo says he might start a Kip Litton thread but only 1 and only 1 thread

Was this ever looked at in detail? - - - if so, I apologize for being repetitive.

Shamrock Marathon and 8K - 3/21/2010 -

Both races listed as run on the same day. KL 29:10 in the 8K and 2:53:15 in the marathon.

Chip time 2:53:15, Gun time: 2:56:53

Photos available on brightroom:

KL bib 137 yields finishing photos (black T, same old hat and reflective glasses, BM shorts and calf things). Also seen (probably some photo software catches him at the start and links his photo to his bib despite no sign of the bib at the start), with the last few stragglers, with blue jacket (look familiar?) and black long tights. The above link shows a 14 photo sequence with a person fitting the description of KL standing at the starting mat, fully clothed and then finally jogging off. They are photos 61524-2321-001 thru 014 and if the link doesn't work can easily be found by searching the bright room site on the right via the start photos.

There are pix of KL on the course somewhere when you search pix of 137 but I have no idea where on the course.

Ironically, the person finishing one place behind in 2:54:07 (7 sec gun-chip differential) was ........ drumroll.........GK.

Just some observations. Sound familiar? Was the 8K and marathon run on the same day? The marathon does look like it started in daylight and the 8K was a highly competitive event - perhaps started earlier?

8K was on 3/20/10; Marathon was on 3/21/10. Some results postings aren't careful about the dates.

Yes, this has all been looked at before. Good summary and photos posted by SOKLR here:

Scroll down for the pic of him finishing the 8K with long black sleeve top and pants, number not showing.

btw, 6:05 chip-gun differential in the 8K. Close to 7000 competitors. 5:52 pace with that amount of people starting in front. Impressive to say the least.

No pictures linked to KL. Lots of GK pictures can be found:

Feel free to search the database of photos.

There is no writer. There is no article.

Got it, thanks. Somehow never saw that one. Peace out.

New poll (on right side column) where you can vote on when you think it's going to come out.

Also a few updates here and there.

Virginia is on the race map on the blog as a blue dot (suspicious performance)

Did the writer ever actually interview Kip?

Kip did not talk with any supposed writer.

I'm not sure at this point if the writer has been able to get in touch with Kip.

So...you're saying that the article will just be a summation of this thread?

That's disappointing.

The writer has interviewed a number of people and so there is info that is not on this thread

I've gained six pounds, when is the article coming out?!

He can interview anyone he wants, but if he didn't talk to Litton then that's a significant omission.

No omission....Of course the writer has talked to Litton....just not sure if Litton has talked to the writer

He may have interviewed others, but the likelihood that any novel information will come to light is remote.

The writer is pretty talented, so I'm sure the story will be interesting

Interesting that most of you don't think the article is for real according to the Studyof kip Litton blog poll

Kip hasn't raced in 18 months now and the article has been promised for a year or so. I won't say I'll eat my hat if it ever posts but I will be very surprised.

Did anyone else think it was borderline creepy/stalkerish when Clarkston Kent said he watched Kip walk out of his office on the evening of Boston Marathon Monday.

I indeed found it quite creepy! This has gone on long enough! Clarkston Kent has been reduced to a pathetic stalker hiding in the bushes and touching himself with sick voyeur Kip fantasies. I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS. The real threat has been realized, my running brethren. We must bring Clarkston to justice. Please contact me soon if you have any information regarding the peeping-tom at clarkstonkent.blogspot.com.
