Need help in decision making

Just because I am indecisive and it's been slow lately....Here is the situation...

I lost the Nike marathon lottery again this year. After I'd registered the group I work out with in the mornings put together a group id and signed up. Of course they end up getting in (for the 2nd year in a row...life is so not fair) and one even got a great group rate for hotel rooms. The coordinator just emailed me that someone backed out (BFF wedding got set for that weekend) and do I want to buy their bib?

Pro's: still get to run in the race and get the medal, fun weekend, etc

Con's: worrying up until then that they will not let me pick up her bib/ask for ID, not running as myself, etc. If they do ask I would be SOL since the person would be here and not in SF for pick up

WWYD?

Re: Need help in decision making

  • What are the odds they'll ask for identification? I think you should do it. It sounds like a great opportunity that is hard to come by and it'll be a great memory for you.
  • Disclaimer: I am not a runner

    How much is the bid?

    I would do it, because I agree that it will be a great experience...plus, if you get denied you are in SF and can eat and go shopping :)

    The Bib is $100

    I just got more info that I can have a letter from the person with their ID saying I have permission to pick up their bib.

    I'm leaning towards doing it

    I'm kinda jealousE. I wanted to do Nike too. :(

  • Honestly, I'd buy the bib and run the race. I do like the idea of bringing a signed letter from the original racer saying she's allowing you to pick up her number.
  • I am considering TnT to run this race...
