Reply to "Houston Half validation"

Haste makes waste.

Validation of course length is only the last step in the validation of a record. First the timing must be checked, and the conduct of the race. The course must have followed the certified route. This checking has never been the job of RRTC. It is done by the records people. If they find everything OK they pass it on to RRTC.

I see no harm in fast-tracking this as long as the preliminary work is complete. I do see a danger in accepting a burden that we don't have the ability to carry, and that is to agree to prevalidate every race that has fast people in it.
