Reply to "How Long Is Too Long?"

I once measured a 5 km for a charity group and when I was finished the woman in charge asked me to move the finish line up 100m because there was a construction site behind the originally located point and "it wouldn't look nice in the photos." No problem, I said, we just have to move the start the same distance in the opposite direction to make up the difference. Oh no she replied, then the runners would have to walk too far to the start. I wound up charging them for my riding time but never submitted the course for certification, since I felt there was a strong likelihood they were going to put the start and finish where they wanted.
