Apparently the organisers cancelled the Sheffield half marathon today after the participants had been waiting to start for a while. Most of them apparently set off anyway. Not enough water so it was not deemed safe to have the race.
Now bearing in mind it is (I believe) a cool, grey, wet day in Sheffield today and that the distance is only 13 miles . AIBU to think that they were being hyper cautious - and would have been safer to let it go ahead. I would be amazed if any of the runners collapse from dehydration. But if they do, there will be no first aid available will there, and no marshals to keep the route safe.
My DH did long bike ride in the heat in the mountains once, where the organisers ordered insufficient water. The riders weren't happy but no one collapsed from dehydration.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
