Dear Donna Deegan: So cold this morning! And a half-hour delay in starting! How could you!?! But those aren’t the real problems with your “26.2 for Donna.†No. On February 14th last year, I wrote to you voicing my frustration with the way you conduct this race event. But did you hear me? Did you listen? No! What is the main problem? Not that you let thousands run the race, but that you allow them to run it simultaneously! According to the Sociopath’s Manifesto (now available on Kindle), evil is having to do things in unison with other people. Communal effort affronts human dignity. Because you obviously didn’t listen last year, I will repeat the modest proposal I made, my 103rd since I started making them. Running a race in real timeâ€"simultaneously with othersâ€"is SO 20th-century! Available digital technology makes possible a huge improvement over the currently usedâ€"but now obsoleteâ€"race-event model. Next year, in 2014, please reconfigure “26.2 for Donna†along the lines of asynchronous distance racing (ADR). ADR allows participants to run the race at a time and on a day that is convenient for them.
