The worst race I've e...wow - that's awful. The worst race I've even been in 2010 at the "Home of Purdue half marathon". My hubby went to Purdue, so we thought it would be great to run thru campus. Except they didn't get permits for running there, so the race ended up in some random small town in Indiana -and then it was a short course (12.9 miles) - and instead of getting new shirts when they changed venues, they used a black iron on patch to block out "home of purdue" on the shirts and left "The Half marathon". <br />Oh, and we paid for our kids to be in the fun run, and they basically scrambled for a volunteer to run around a field with them, and then they tried to give us adult race shirts. 3 weeks later we did get shirts for them in the mail.<br /><br />Ok, I wrote a book here, but it was a terribly organized half. <br /><br />Sorry they were jerking you around AND that you felt so bad during the race! Glad that they at least got your bib figured out, but so ridiculous to blame your water bottle(?)!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650006222824756753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349589916468289615.post-61063585146280719732012-02-04T17:32:33.822-08:002012-02-04T17:32:33.822-08:00Damn. That's unbelievable- I cannot understand...Damn. That's unbelievable- I cannot understand people who try to blame others for their own mistakes- can't believe they blamed you. Nightmare!

And then a water bottle?...They actually blamed you? And then a water bottle? You're entirely justified in being peeved!!! After all that, do you have a link to your results?<br />Congrats on finishing the race despite less than ideal circumstances.Caitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865016703282357720noreply@blogger.com
