The decision to ...So here's another viewpoint. The decision to run the Hardrock course is solely up to you. Once you have committed, to not run must be considered a DNF. Just because you are not on the holy anointed list of the "chosen 140", you are not excused from honoring your commitment. The select few can start running on July 8th. The 450+ others, minus those who choose to DNF, can arrange their own run. It would mean providing your own support crew. It might mean 30+ miles between aid. It would require being responsible for your own safety and well-being. Not everyone can make that commitment. So either way, to complete or DNF Hardrock is your choice. Don't blame the race committee.HillBillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368962773826300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-91783317087114288502011-02-04T20:26:23.386-08:002011-02-04T20:26:23.386-08:00As much fun as it was to follow along with WS last...As much fun as it was to follow along with WS last year, I'm honestly hoping the vast majority of the runners you're referring to get in to Hardrock. Even with those runners missing, it's my opinion that the Montrail Cup will bring a strong field to WS, while the stellar HR starting lineup could help develop a better 'system' for the ultrarunning calendar. <br />I'd love to see a 'Rotating Championship' between several big events, so that the majority of the 'elite' runners could know which event to focus on.<br />In addition, a rotational schedule would allow each big event within the rotation to continue with their traditional entry processes in off years.<br />No matter what, it's always fun to follow your schedule, and you've prove it doesn't matter the event, you're gonna show up, compete, and make 'em earn it!nwgdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000663254776350045noreply@blogger.com
