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?

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
Yeah with that info + the location I would do it! I hope it works out for you,I know you were bummed that you didnt make it again this year!
I'm kinda jealousE. I wanted to do Nike too.
