I was reading up and apparently he ran about half of it and then the van came and drove him to the end so they could fill him crossing the finish line. Then they were supposedly driven back to the race course where they finished 3 miles.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Dane didn't purposely intend to deceive everyone. They should have just portrayed it as he ran a race. Not saying he completed it and not saying the time.

WHAT is with the water works!?!? lol Seriously?

I'll have to look into that . . . <BR/><BR/>Maybe that helps to explain why the online version of the video (versus the one last night) makes no mention of Dane's time. Mmmmm . . . <BR/><BR/>I think the show as a whole is WONDERFUL! But I do think, unfortunately, that there are some people leave the ranch and fall back on their old-ways hardcore! Look for some info I have on that in an upcoming post!A Toronto girl out Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092298085031549866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-5767490830667565572009-02-26T12:48:00.000-07:002009-02-26T12:48:00.000-07:00I LOVE The Biggest Loser too and yes I thought Dan...I LOVE The Biggest Loser too and yes I thought Dane was truly inspirational last night! I always cry when I see them after the ranch and they are doing so great! <BR/>...I also agree that the participants AND trainers are overly emotional this season. I think Mandy has CRIED almost EVERY episode! I still love the show and will continue to watch!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836524250929151028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-13121185512198410942009-02-26T09:12:00.000-07:002009-02-26T09:12:00.000-07:00I'm addicted to the Biggest Loser, too! I thought...I'm addicted to the Biggest Loser, too! I thought sending Dane home at this point was a huge mistake for the blue team. He pulled some pretty big numbers! Anywho, he looked great and I was so glad he finished that marathon! Talk about inspiring! Do you find the contestants this seaon to be overly emotional? I want to kcik some of them in the butt!!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597868827300760281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-58649449570068384082009-02-26T08:46:00.001-07:002009-02-26T08:46:00.001-07:00First of all congrats on you desire to become a ru...First of all congrats on you desire to become a runner. I never thought I could do it either. Running a Marathon was one of the toughest but most rewarding things I have ever done. Anybody can run a marathon if your willing to put in the time and effort. I run in a large group and there are 250lb 50 yr old woman that do it with me. They don't run fast but they have unbelievably heart and determination.<BR/><BR/>I was shocked to see the time reported by Dane as 3:53 for a full marathon. I am on my fifth marathon and am just getting to break 4 hours. I was more shocked after doing some research to learn Dane did not complete the entire marathon, that him and his wife were picked up in a van and driven to the finish line. One runner who ran over 6 hours says Dane was behind her the entire time. I point this out because I don't want someone to think they can train for three months and then run a marathon that successfully. Dan probably could have finished had he not taken the van but in reality it would have been closer to 7 hours.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622208048588721165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-80844807986698379932009-02-26T08:46:00.000-07:002009-02-26T08:46:00.000-07:00..Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622208048588721165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-83482366952620378772009-02-26T08:41:00.000-07:002009-02-26T08:41:00.000-07:00ah i love the biggest loser too! i know, its like ...ah i love the biggest loser too! i know, its like if they can do it I can do it! good luck with your half marathon goals! i am signed up to run a 10k in april and im nervous!<BR/>www.dailygoods.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
