Reply to "Houston Half validation"

Before sounding the call to get everybody prevalidated consider:

1) Most prevals are a waste of time and money, as record times are few.
2) 90 percent of courses pass the regular validation. 99 percent if measured by an experienced expert.
3) I don't think we have the manpower to preval every course that might ask for it.

I don't think the race director was remiss at all. Tom McBrayer, a hugely competent measurer and certifier, measured the course, and the race director may have believed that the course would withstand scrutiny without the need for someone to check the work before the race.

Why should there be a "scramble" to validate this? Can't it wait until it fits into the year's normal validation schedule?
