So today my marathon coach sends me an email saying that the Los Angeles Marathon has been moved up to May 25 from February 16 of this year. This is a difference of 3 months for a race that typically gets about 30,000 people who expect that the day they registered for is the day of the marathon. The real reason I'm pissed though is that my team is doing a 14 mile run on Saturday, and our training schedule was based around the date of the race being 3 months earlier. Can you imagine doing summer training for xc only to find out that the season will be starting in December, and you have to maintain the same amount of training for that period of time? Oh and by the way switching marathons is not an option since the program I'm in won't fund us if we don't do the LA Marathon.
Update: Looks like it's official now, despite the mammoth amounts of complaints from locals and people that bought an airplane ticket and don't want to pay $300 to change the date of their flight.
