We saw a lot of sunburn last year.
That actually helped us back in 1999 where we were able to expose a runner who really only ran the last mile of the race in an effort to get an Olympic trials qualifying time, and we reviewed about 30 minutes of tape and determined that she jumped in at mile 25.
I told Paul he'd need to run a sub-29 to get the record, and it didn't seem to faze him at all. The guy is definitely in race shape.
We know it's a dynamic situation, but it's totally premature to talk about delays or postponement. Runners need to be prepared and dress for the weather.
If the running conditions on the roadways were hazardous to our runners, that would be sufficient to cancel or delay the event. I'm mostly concerned that our volunteers will opt to stay home because of the frigid conditions. The runners, for the most part, won't be deterred.
If we get a major blizzard in the City of Calgary, which we have had many years ago, it can definitely cripple the infrastructure.
Following examination, it has been determined (the powder) was not a dangerous material.
Here we are, 10 years after Harry Green's mark, and it's another UT runner gunning for the record.
We're definitely erring on the side of safety. So far it doesn't look like we're looking at anything too serious.
