Claims needing Matt confirmation
Do not publish uncertain races as definitive personal finishes without confirmation. The 20+ Ironman finishes claim is client-provided and should be verified before final public release.
Safer wording

Boston Marathon
Display as "Boston Marathon - Guide / 1% Better Team" until exact year, athlete, and official finisher record are verified.
