[Rich Biebel]

I did not run a National event from 2001 to 2014.

I entered 1 in 2014 and 1 in 2015.

No real big complaints other than the amount of time we are forced to devote just to run one.....

I always have fun and enjoy myself at any race...

Increased costs, time etc all for a greatly diminished potential reward.

For those that can do them and maybe have never won or can justify it at any cost for whatever reason.....I can see the attraction.....

For me.....It just doesn't really hold the attraction it once did so I am unlikely to even attempt to enter one again...
