Another cancelled half marathon

I got up at 4:30 this morning and drove to College Station for the Octoberfest Half Marathon at 7 a.m. at Kyle Field.  Not long after I arrived, it started raining.  Close to 7 a.m., they announced a delay and an 8 a.m. start due to lightning.  Then, close to 8 a.m, they changed it to 9 a.m.  A few minutes before 9 a.m,, they cancelled the race.  Everyone was invited to proceed to the "post race party."  I got my T-shirt, beer mug and a beer and finisher medal.  It quit raining, so I went for a run.  Ran for 1.5 miles and then left town.  Now, I have to find another replacement half marathon.
