Who's in?

 

It's not going to be the same race if the predicted weather holds up: 39 and overcast.

I'm registered, but I think I might be bailing on it.  They just sent out an email saying they switched from a tech shirt to cotton, which sucks for a $40.00 (or more) fee.  I have an offer of a refund, and I think I'm going to take them up on it.

That stinks! At least they allowed for a refund. I'll get what I paid for...free entry.

Ed did you get a different email than the one I got? Mine did not mention a refund. It only listed that the shirts were cotton. I will be there too. Unless something comes up.

No, mine didn't mention the refund.  I sent the RD an email saying that information should have been on the site, and he offered the refund.  I replied and accepted the refund, but haven't heard anything since.

I appear in the results at 2:47:58, but I wasn't anywhere near Derry yesterday. Not happy about that.

Nice writeup as always Jason.  Here are the various and sundry Good Times irregulars that I found, nicely done by all.

Wow...that is odd, EJ. Someone must have picked up your chip and they never changed it in the system. This is what happens when I don't time the race....sheez.
