A long time ago, I signed up for the Katy Half Marathon, which is scheduled for this Saturday. Last week, I received an email telling me that there is no race day packet pickup and that I have to pick up my packet in Houston Tuesday or Wednesday or in Katy on Friday. I sure don't recall reading that there was no race day packet pickup when I signed up. In any case, I emailed them about it last week and asked for a refund or an exception since I live up in Huntsville. They (Onurmark Productions) refused. So, this afternoon, I drove down to the west side of Houston (80 miles one way) to pick up my packet. After finding a parking place in a parking garage, I had to stand in a long line to sign in at the Fitness Center. Then, I went to the 3rd floor and waited in another line for packet pickup. They assigned a bib number to me and hopefully it was correctly entered into their database. No T-shirt; they said that you get that after you finish the race. I had to drive 160 miles this afternoon to pick up a bib. Why not a mail option? I have no idea how this race will turn out. I have a feeling that it will be screwed up. The race starts at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday in Katy, 93 miles from Huntsville. I think I might have to get up early.
I got back to Huntsville this evening just in time to meet Dana and Samantha at PTA to run the 5K course.
