Anyone running this event in Bryan?
half-marathon running out of water is not going to cause serious issues.montegobay said:
I did the inaugural Blue Bell Half last year. They ran out of water at the aid stations. Seriously, I won't ever do that race again. It was hot and people could have had serious issues. They should stick to the 10k.

Outlaw Half in Fredericksburg on April 6 is one. I know nothing about it, really, other than when and where but was/am looking at running it. There is also one in Dallas the last weekend in April, but I don't recall the name.
I need to figure out my plans on running one in early April or not and plan to do a little more looking around at some point this weekend. I'll let you know if I find anything else in the region.
There is a strong part of my personality that really wants to point out everything that is wrong - and downright dangerous - about this type of viewpoint.91_Aggie said:

Its not a marathon. Serious issues were.not going to arise from 13 mile race runnig out of water. And thats a big distinction. They ran out of water, i.e. not a case.of having no water at all.
I would imagine at the poiny where they ran out of water was probably for those who pacing for 3+ hours.
That's a nice coward's way of saying "I have no real facts to back me up, but I'm going to just claim I won the argument".ptothemo said:There is a strong part of my personality that really wants to point out everything that is wrong - and downright dangerous - about this type of viewpoint.91_Aggie said:

There is also a strong part of my personality that understands that I can't control what other people think or believe.
I'm just going to let the latter of the two win out here despite the former absolutely screaming at me.
