It's beyond me why they still do paper tickets for this event as well. It seems like a such a waste of money to print and mail all of them when most of us would rather just link them to our MDE anyway. The tickets are cute and all, but not worth the hassle and headache IMO.
I hadn’t realized - you just made my day!
Logistics shouldn't really be a problem. For example, set your alarm for 2:01 am if you ordinarily wake up at 2:00 on race day. That way, your phone (assuming that you set an alarm on your phone) will wake you at the accurate time since the time change occurs at 2:00 am.
Or manually change the time the night before if you want to wake up before 2am
Happens every year
Every year. And always a hassle for me, because ideally, I’d be getting up at 1:45am. But if I set an alarm for that, I’m up an hour too early. I’ve tried changing the time on my phone manually, but my phone overrode it and changed on its own at 2am anyway. I used to have an old analog travel clock and I used its alarm instead, but it died. Last year, I think I just gave in and set my alarm for 2:02am and rolled the dice… still got to the race on time, so I guess I’ll do that again. 100% chance I’ll still panic when I see the time in my car - though I now have a new car and for all I know it might change itself. Then I can be extra confused lol! I can also guarantee I won’t trust my phone at 2am and will turn on the TV to a 24hr news station to see what time they’re showing.
Like clockwork (pun entirely intended).
I remember that and think maybe I did try that? IDK - trying to figure 8 hours from a certain point got confusing and I may have given up.
I'd guess the lack of volunteers is due to not offering free tickets this year. (Looks like they're not even doing the half day tickets.)
