One of my friends in the running club gave her a free entry, because she lives in Oceanside and thought she'd have a great time. So, she didn't pay a penny to run in the race. In her first blog, she describes how great of time she had and then in her next blog she writes how horrible it was for her. Really keeping? Hmmm. This woman has quite a reputation for being a bit full of herself in the running community. I'm not a fan and normally wouldn't care to even address this, but being a participant, volunteer and elite athlete I can certainly say, this women is nuttzo 😂<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-89702056785823945682019-04-05T05:05:55.311-07:002019-04-05T05:05:55.311-07:00Sounds like a thorough review from your perspectiv...Sounds like a thorough review from your perspective. It seems like the criticism comes from the fact that you have a large social media following. To comment so negatively on a race without doing your research and even knowing it’s a charity race, seems irresponsible. Charity races are bare bones for a reason...to make the biggest financial impact for their cause! You make the argument that your review is what you’d tell a friend...but your platform isn’t speaking just to friends and there are certainly many who might read your review and make a decision based on a very limited set of facts about the race and your negative opinion. It’s up to you if you feel you have a responsibility to be a conscientious reviewer and present all the facts along with your experience.

I don't know of any other smaller race that does that. Reviews are great to read, but it seems A LOT was overlooked in your review. To say that the bad outweighs the good is just plain odd. All in all, one review really makes no bit of difference anyway. For every 1 person that doesn't like an event, there's 1000 that do. Can't make everyone happy lol.Megan McCarthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-13887080995866264272019-04-04T10:53:50.856-07:002019-04-04T10:53:50.856-07:00Glad you liked the views along the way!

So just take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the day : ) <br /> After all, this is North County and we all come together to enjoy the day, whatever the day gives us. <br /> All the best on your next race!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-28014066060507579472019-04-04T10:17:48.204-07:002019-04-04T10:17:48.204-07:00Blah blah blah.

I for one won't be taking any of your blogs seriously anymore. Could understand if you paid. I heard it was crowded, but your crying over spilled milk. you definitely don't "keep it real".
