These posts led one of Patrick's more vocal critics, Carol Maxheinie, to accuse him of cheating in the 2016 race:
Sadly, the photos no longer appear on the race page (

Patrick could quash these rumors by providing pictures from around the time of the injury. He has documented other severe injuries, such as a sunburned arm (

Patrick completed the 2012 Brewers Mini Marathon in 2:18:27 (
A,
L), and the 2013 race in 2:15:38 (
A,
L). The difference between Patrick's 2016 time and 2013 time is 0:24:04. According to Patrick, he ran miles 1-5 at an average pace of 0:11:10 per mile; and miles 5-10, after having run 5 miles already, and suffered a high ankle sprain, ran at an average pace of only 0:12:37 per mile.
Patrick's pre-2017 Facebook posts were wiped, and his Instagram did not exist in 2016. So, image searches and YouTube videos were used to compare his physical appearance in the time between the 2012 and 2013 races, and around the 2016 race.
