Last august there was a hurricane supposed to come by here and instead of a 4 it was "only" category 2. Afterwards people were complaining it was only a 2. I was freaking out.

A lot people understood that the change was beyond my control, but many attacked us as if it was our decision to create a logistical nightmare for ourselves and participants.I had to call in favors from political friends. I'm so glad we were able to convince the city to change their decision. Now we are looking forward to having an amazing race that starts and finishes in Hollywood (with a few minor changes) which will be finalized after my meeting with the Dept of Transportation, LAPD, and City Council.<br /><br />See you all in April!<br /><br />-KenSuperhero Events, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568365736168661725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-75567728028706613902012-03-03T15:38:43.616-08:002012-03-03T15:38:43.616-08:00People are such babies.

I remember when REV3 went through this in Portland and they got huge backlash. The people that did the race... loved it.<br /><br />I love your attitude.

After running the Rock n Roll Half in Vegas this past December, I was appalled at how rude people were on the Facebook page. <br /><br />Yes, the race had its issues and I know some people had some troubles, but what a blessing to BE ABLE TO RUN at all and what a treat to run on LV Blvd at night.Tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770214253815973506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-81833134513669121412012-03-02T06:30:31.338-08:002012-03-02T06:30:31.338-08:00I would be thrilled if I was told that a big hill ...I would be thrilled if I was told that a big hill was being omitted from a race........ just say'n.<br /><br />Gotta run.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456146495326232257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-25824175927857021882012-03-01T18:51:19.080-08:002012-03-01T18:51:19.080-08:00I am kind of happy about it.

Everyone should feel lucky enough to be just plain running!<br /><br />Second of all, that "anonymous" person is insane...you shouldn't look like you're dying during a race.

Like the race director planned this to torment people. <br /><br />Grump grump.<br /><br />I ran a small 10k last summer up here put on by these guys -- and it was lovely. They are so nice and personable and I loved that race (hope they come back up here this summer). I was hoping to come down there to do this one but it was not to be (and now with this darned foot probably best I didn't sign up). I saw what was happening on FB an felt so bad.
