My wife and I have signed up for this years Wine and Dine. I got my registration link today and went ahead and registered. During that process I discovered a potential issue with my proof of time, and it has to do with my name. I go by my middle name rather than my first. When we signed up for the Wine and Dine we used my first name. However the 10k I ran back in October that I was going to use as my PoT, I had registered under my middle name. Thus the name in the results from the PoT race don't match the name of my W&D race registration. There was no where on the race registration to list a middle name, or a place to enter "additional information" etc. At the end of the registration there was an a-mail provided to use for more information. I immediately sent them an e-mail explaining the situation and offered to provide proof of my full name.
I do have another opportunity to run in a 10k at the end of April. I was planning to do that, however since we were planning to do both runDisney races together, I was going to fall back to her corral assignment and, so for this April's 10k I was considering running that WITH my wife to help her improve her time, and thus OUR corral placement.
I guess I could just enter our time from next months 10K (which will be much slower than my capability), but ...
How strict are they with PoT? Does everything have to match up perfectly or get rejected, or do they allow some consideration for situations like this? Do you find out well in advance if your PoT has been rejected, so that you can submit a different PoT or provide additional information, or do you not find out until Corral assignments come out?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
