Reply to "RD ignoring certification map"

Sometimes it's RD laziness. Other times it's RD ignorance.

A good case study would be the Semper Fi (formerly Marine Corps Aviation Association/Marine Corps League) 5K Charity Run. Usually the RD is assigned to a 2nd Lieutenant or a 1st Lieutenant, who may/may not have any running/road racing experience. It's not only the course which gets bunged up in this event (the first year I ran in it the course was 350m long), but timing, scoring, awards...Murphy's Law, meet "Murphy's Run."

I explained in 25 words-or-less last weekend why I wouldn't spend $25 to participate in the event. Darned if one of my fellow gym patrons (who knows I measure) didn't tell me yesterday: "...you need to go out and measure that Semper Fi run, it was half-a-mile short!"

It's hard to explain that once the measurement project is complete that the responsibility rests in the hands of the RD.
