What's preventing you? Sounds like poor effort and worse planning on your part.Kevin 0noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440198260696381096.post-24949171506932468112009-06-10T15:17:58.127-07:002009-06-10T15:17:58.127-07:00I'm REALLY disappointed that the number of ent...I'm REALLY disappointed that the number of entries is still so low. I was a sentry last year at the 11 mile mark and experienced many periods where there were no runners for 15-20 minutes. At that distance there were lots of people already walking (and they didn't look like they were going to start running anytime soon!) I'd like to see some kind of criteria for entry if you are going to limit the size; otherwise, open it up to more runners like big cities do. You are discouraging real runners from entering and going elsewhere, like I will this year. Poor effort in improving the quality of a high-potential marathon.Mike Karolewicznoreply@blogger.com
