The interesting thing about this afternoon's KRAC discussion was the preparation that was brought to it. I suppose I should have realized that people who negotiate for a living would come to the table having done their homework-- I had-- but while I came with information about course conditions and appealing venues, our Captain and The Piper came with the hard numbers about training and time commitment. It was the difference between making an emotional appeal, and making an argument based on the facts. Notwithstanding the facts, it looks like we are on for a marathon. We are leaving venue open for the moment, although we will probably be in North America-- Chicago, Columbus, and Toronto are apparently the consensus top three. What this means in the long run is that there are going to be some long, long runs. It should be interesting.
