Pro-Tip: Don’t cheat on marathons, your devices will give you away

The self-established investigator, who runs MarathonInvestigation.com, noticed a picture of Seo at the finish line. After zooming in and cropping, he saw Seo’s watch revealed she ran just 11.65 miles, about a mile and a half short of the full race length. Busted!

There’s much more to this case. Seo apparently re-traced her tracks on a bicycle later on, complete with GPS, in order to fake her route. Check out the sleuthing done by MarathonInvestigation.com.
