;( Ron, first let me say thank you and all the PPA/PPM organizers and volunteers for making this logistically difficult race even possible. I'm disappointed in the decision to do away with the doubler shirt but even more disappointed in the folks complaining. It’s about the races not the swag, but I still hope you might reconsider your decision as not everyone is unhappy with the shirt. I doubled this year and a couple other times—happy with my accomplishment and wear the shirts proudly—love them. If the certificate is the added cost “taxed” to non-doublers, do away with it or charge a price. If the shirt is “taxing” non-doublers,,, charge a bit more--it's awesome to be able to display your accomplishment--just like a PPA or PPM shirt. I’d be happy to pay, and if the complainers don’t like them, they don’t have to purchase them. Please don’t let a few folks that are unhappy with doubler swag impact a decision to do away with it… lest in future years you may be decisiding to do away with finisher medals AND shirts because someone doesn’t like the design or quality, or eliminate the water or munchies at aid station cause they don’t meet a complaining runner's pallet. Again, thank you and everyone for making these races possible--health and training permitting, I plan to double again next year regardless.
