As a race director, you know I was checking out every logistical thing that I could. The race organizers did a great job and this race was planned down to the T. I read somewhere prior to race day that "They make it so you don't even have to think", and that was so true. By now you have heard about the unfortunate happening that over 1,300 people did not receive a medal. This hurt my heart tremendously when I heard this, and particularly because one of my greatest run buds was amongst the many that did not receive a medal. I was mad at first, and still am for her, however I KNOW that this was not the Race Director's desire and he is probably in agony over this occurance. I don't know how it happened, but best believe, they will make every effort to assure that those 1,300 are taken care of and compensated, and this will NEVER happen again. At least they better!!!
