I did hear that a lot of locals were very upset about how inconvenient the race was to their weekend...they had a town meeting and I'm curious to hear what happened. I guess they will be super excited about the marathon in March, lol. I signed up for that, should be fun to run a marathon in my hometown!
I went to the townhall. It was FULL of IM supporters (people were lined up out into the hallway ). Not a single word against it from the crowds or the board. TJ started it off and did a great job. There was a good summary about the meeting in the Villager maybe last week? An older woman, non-IM competitor closed out the comments with some very funny yet snide remarks to the haters. Then the board shared their support and experiences with the event. It was great! |
