RD Can't Win, Needs Hug!

Arg! It's a good things Amy is back from some AWESOME running (way to go gal!) in South Florida, because RD AM needs an H-U-G!

Yeah, I pulled a bonehead move and changed the start time for the Croom Zoom 50K from 7 am to 6am. It's a good move. 100K and 50K courses are identical, makes the course less confusing, and it's good for pacing and such. The bonehead part was moving it only 1 1/2 weeks before the race. Most people understand and like the move, some are rightly p'o'ed about it.

Yet, Jim and I have made every concession for folks. Jim has even offered some refunds, but like Goldmember said in Austin Powers III, "There is no pleasing" some people! Oh, well... I do my best in all of my endeavors, if it isn't good enough, well.... tough toenails!!!

I'm sure everyone loves you guys and this is certainly not a big deal in the big picture. At first, I thought it would weird to have a race that started at "two different" times and I told you that. Now, So what I say! 6 am or 7am makes no difference at all. I'll go at 7 cause I like daylight and sleep. I won't care if others start at 6 and I will "Just shut up and run". Cause really, that's what were there to do. You and Jim have provided an opportunity for us all to have a Florida race during the winter,and that's awesome. Now, Let's run!!!

There's two things I can't stand: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch!
