My husband works this weekend and I work through Thursday, maybe Friday (waiting to hear).  We can't leave but as soon as we hear if hubby needs to be in the hospital, we are gone.  Carrying 4 cats, a bunch of INKnBURN and computers and stuff.  That should be fun.

More on my short race yesterday. On the FB page, still no standalone posts from people, but they posted a link to the results. Under that are 33 comments from people complaining about the distance. What I did not realize was this race supposedly served as the Northwest USATF Half Marathon Championship, attracting elite runners from 6 states. Not sure exactly what that means, but the top 3 OA finishers were between 1:05-1:10, pretty good even for 12.5. So yeah, some pretty pissed of folks there. Still no acknowledgement of any kind from the RD.

Now on the FB page:

"It has been brought to our attention that the Half Marathon course was short. We apologize for this and ask anyone that was using the Labor Day Half as a qualifying run to email us directly to address the issue."

Curious to know what they will do.

Upper body weights and core.

Docket, I'm surprised that with the state of emergency you can't work from home/get the heck outta dodge. Does your husband work in an outpatient type setting? Hopefully they would start cancelling or closing all but the essential departments.

DavePNW, that's a rather non-answer. Most of the short races I've done have been very open as to why. Aside from the one half, which never acknowledged it, course I should have noticed the missing mile 13 on the map.

Yeah. Either explain why it happened or that you are investigating why it happened, and either way how you will make sure it doesn't happen again. I guess they are assuming there is a small percentage of "serious" runners who really care, and most people got their medal and their shirt and DGAF.

Incidentally, the shirt was a long sleeve half-zip pullover, so I guess that was nice.

 

Stay safe! When are they forecasting it to hit?

Saturday afternoon should be close enough.  That should give me time to run in the morning, I hope.

And, they can't really evacuate 5 million people. If they tried, more people would get injured or killed in that chaos than if they stayed put in the storm.

Doubt they will.  They Keys are being evacuated because there is only one road to exit.  Miami Beach is an evacuation zone but apart from those I assume will be it.
