As long as you have a concert featuring Rodney Atkins and Gloriana (whoever they are), why not?
NO.
But you should totally do an 11.2 race.
11.2 would be a Saturday race.
I think.
Needs an additional RD tho.

The real mini-Monkey would be the 1.8 mile loop. How many water stops would you set up for that?
The tangents are moot.

You are crazy.

Why?
and...
Why: Because I don't want any more people at the start on Sunday, least of all wimpy half marathoners.
Why: Because I am fully tapped out.
what are you talking about -- there are like, 6 or 8 people at the start every year. what's the big deal, lucille?
First of all, a half marathon on that course would not be whimpy. You realize you have to run a lot faster in a half than a marathon, right? I think it'd be pretty painful to run half marathon pace in PWP.
The whole RD thing makes sense though. Maybe R2E would like to be the RD?

Cheap rip-off of Holi without the possibility of samosas.
Dammit. Saturday beer mile since everyone is together. That's where the bragging rights are.

Holi is better known for Bhang than Samosas. Maybe Samosas stuffed with Bhang

I'm sure Trent is just kidding. It would be easy for him to race direct the 11.2 while he's putting the mile markers out for Sunday. Or he could do it instead of joining you for your traditional Pizza Perfect lunch.
