Distance: 6 miles
Ran from OK Runner back to the Lodge in the late afternoon. Again, I had to leave to get to class this evening. Not a bad run. There was a stiff breeze blowing out of the north that made it cooler than recent days. Generally the winds from the south are warm, from the north cold. Though when running home on this loop that goes along the bike path by the train tracks, I'll take a breeze at my back any day.
I got an email last night from the race director of the DRC Half. Here is what she had to say:
Sorry, Jordan, each race director sets their own rules for elite comp entries. We need demonstration of half marathon results, and under 1:10:00 for men and under 1:30:00 for women, which allows in quite a few entries. Some limits have to be established and I get a lot of requests from fast 5K and 10Kers.
First off, I'm not asking for travel money, a room to stay in Saturday night or a monkey to guard my bag during the race. Just a pass on the $60 entry fee. Second, 70 minutes for a half marathon is not elite. Third, if Mike DeCoste can run 68:45, so can I (not to take anything away from Mike's performance). Fourth, I bet no more than 7 runners go under 70 minutes in the race. Fifth, 70 minutes and 90 minutes for men/women are not equivalent times.
Fuck the Dallas Running Club.
