Safety Matters

You said it AI. 'I have to deal with the world as it is not as it should be.' Well maybe the FRA realised that as well.

After everything you've said about the responsibility falling on the runner you still support RO stipulating minimum kit requirements to protect people from themselves. And so we have a spectacle where a runner on the AW gets DQ for using his own judgement which is not the judgement of the RO. You see AI you can't have it both ways and if you do you contradict yourself.

One last point: when your motive is just to protect RO then I have to question whether that actually coincides with doing what is right for competitors.

He got disqualified for not following the rules that he signed up to...... Then life banned for putting other runners and my marshals and myself at risk.
No-one forced him to enter the race but in entering he agreed to abide by the rules. SHR require as part of their rules for competitors and obligations to access their insurance, that all competitors carry wind proof full body cover - similar to the FRA but they require taped seamed waterproofs. If he didn't want to follow the rules he didn't have to enter.
