Waiting for the bus at AKL Kidani Village - good luck to everyone today for the “a bit more than half a half” today!
Selfishly I wish this was what they went with but it is what it is. Maybe logistically it’s not that simple. Or maybe they wanted to make sure all people had an actual finish line to cross.Or another idea, give people the option tomorrow. Just have a cutoff point and if you don’t make it to the cutoff point, you turn back and do the 7.2 but if you can reach the cutoff point by a certain time, let them go. It has the exact same effect/impact. People can decide to stop for characters or make the 13.1.
The later part I know is about running after but I just want to say. Like I know this is apparently an unpopular opinion in some circles but I would rather have a race director be overly cautious and make the call early to do something that is safer for the athletes than put their head in the sandIt’s 2:15 AM, I am up, I’m dressed, I’m eating my breakfast, I have everything ready to go… And I’m still not sure if this race is actually going to happen or that if it does I’m even going to do it. The storm is not looking good at all and it’s moving in pretty fast, I’m worried about what’s happening at home which is stupid because there’s nothing I can actually do about it from here other than remind my young adult son where to shelter if there’s a tornado warning, but somehow I feel like I’d be more accessible not in the middle of a race in the storm myself. Anyway, it’s been a stressful a few hours of poor sleep and a run is probably exactly what I need right now lol! This was supposed to be my last half for the foreseeable future and it just would’ve been nice to know at the end of wine and dine that that was going to be it instead. Such is life in FL!
A gentle reminder from your invisible Internet, Floridian friend, that lightning kills, and no DIY race is worth that. Please be smart and safe, no matter what you choose to do today!
I'm on the bus from Coronado and I just saw two ladies running on the street loop around the resort. Kudos to those that got up extra early (or just never slept?!) to start with 6 miles.
You were in the right place! They've taken over our spot a bit but we are in front of them, by the Pho Wheels truck!I awkwardly walked by where I thought the meeting spot was, but saw a bunch of Team in Training people there so I got nervous and headed to the corrals. Was I in the wrong place? Can someone explain it to me like I’m 3 so I don’t have an excuse for tomorrow?
i keep trying to hit play but its not moving.Just an fyi this sucker is HAULING, I wouldn’t be surprised if they aggressively sweep or cut the course again.
Not sure if this gif will work or not
