Give Me a Race Shirt If You Want Me to Run Your Race
And offer a range of sizes, too
For weeks, I considered running a local four mile race.
I wasn’t ready to sign up way in advance because I absolutely loathe running in the heat and humidity.
It was a night race though, so I kept hoping it might be doable for me. As the date got closer, the weather looked decent enough that I could probably run most of it and walk if I had to, and maybe not come in dead last. Maybe.
So my husband, who was racing it, and I, who was simply planning to finish, went to register online.
There were no shirts left.
I did not sign up.
I know given the state of just about every damn thing, this was ridiculous. It shouldn’t be a reason to skip a race. But I wanted a shirt. And I not only wanted the shirt, I wanted my size choice. Their site said shirt size is not guaranteed, so even if I wasn’t too late to get a shirt, I might not get one due to my size.
