@vtcupcake
I have someone that can't race. Are bib transfers possible?
ETA: Transfers can't happen. Waiting to hear back. Do you still want a bib? I meant waiting to hear back from the person from the running group. I still haven't heard anything.... hmph

yay stingyshark!
ok, I just caught up on all of this briefly. this fucking blows and I am SO sorry. I really hope you can race your heart out somewhere and know that your hard training wasn't worthless. you are going to kick 26.2 miles of ass somewhere in this country! good luck, cupcake!
I cannot wrap my brain around this. I would be in sheer panic - you're handling this like a champ. Best wishes for getting into another marathon right away.
I really appreciate the concern from everyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm gutted. But I know there's another marathon out there for me. I've got 25284638306 (actual Number) pleas out there for a space coast bib, with a couple of decent leads. We got put up in a swank hotel last night for free and I'm having an excellent breakfast this morning, after roughly 14373846. (Again, actual number) manhattans last night.
And if anyone doubted fate- our flight that we should have been on last night was ridiculously late leaving, and didn't get in until after our original flight was supposed to go to florence. We wouldn't have made it there on Friday regardless, and Saturday would have been a stretch.
Today's goal is to get another marathon bib. That should in theory be easy enough, right?
Did you see stingyshark's post? She has one for you. I think you need a copy if their DL to pick up the packet.
ETA: Never mind. Just saw her follow up. Off the check my groups.

If it's available and she's comfortable with me running for her I'll take it. I'm waiting to hear back from another friend this morning but if they allow proxy pickup I'm down for it.
ok. It's a guy; not sure if that makes a difference. I don't know them, they are just on the running group FB... I'll let you know.

When I'm finished with my half marathon and watching the marathoners, I'll be scanning every woman going...is that her? Is that her? Fingers crossed the bib works out for you!
Okay ladies, cross everything you can for me. A friend is coming through for me and I'm going to chat with her friend that has to drop out of the full in a little while. We're boarding our plane to ft Myers soon (didn't take the flight last night, too upset to think straight at that point).
I'll let you know as soon as I know
And yeah, I am way too zen about this whole shitstorm. Mostly because there's nothing I can do but try to adapt to the situation without rupturing any blood vessels in my brain. That wouldn't be very H&F.

Oh my gosh. You're handling this SO incredibly well. Like, SO well. I can't imagine being this calm and composed about everything. I'm so bummed for you!
I'll keep my fingers crossed that Space Coast works out!
