Just to get back to the OP - Bruin was doing what we all were asked to. Delvene et al can take it into consideration with everything else that's going on.
I have to echo Bruin tho' - while I thought the entire event and everyone involved was brilliant, it was exasperating waiting 6 hours while IT SEEMED other riders were hot lapping some of us. Now, maybe that wasn't the case, but the waiting wasn't bad if all felt equal, (and it wasn't just once, it was the norm) but watching the same folks go round and round on the international course multiple times while I had yet to make a run starts to not feel fair. I paid the same as everyone else.
Again, not being behind the scenes, I can't say for sure what was happening. But if it didn't get communicated back to Delvene, than she'd not have an opportunity to address or dismiss it. So, yes, there is a "perception" among some of us that the wait times were 6+ hrs for some, which basically meant you were only going to get one run in a day and tricky enough to get a return in, but not so long for others. I'm not 100 yrs old, but that's not a complaint, and its not whining, and it certainly doesn't mean I or others shouldn't be there. Its a perception being communicated back to the organizers in good faith and partnership, and becomes part of the arsenal they have to wield an even better event next time.
I intend to run again, and I intend to take the wheels off and volunteer as well.
Thanks Delvene, Thanks Linnea, and thanks to everyone else who made 2014 possible.
