go through all the headache for a tue when probably in their case the race director does not even care?I'm curious to know how hard it is to get an RCTUE, or how many have been granted. I'm a little leery of the argument that it's a "headache" or a great burden on people. Using your example, someone training for an IM has to reorganize their life for many months to get training in. They pay thousands of dollars arranging intricate travel and logistics plans. They buy dozens of pieces of specialized equipment. They set up nutrition and hydration plans. They spent up to thousands of hours practicing skills. Many people purchase the expert advice of coaches, trainers, and...naturopaths.
But suddenly filling out a 4-page form is a massive burden that we couldn't possibly expect people to do. (and that's the TUE form, couldn't find the RCTUE form, which is why I'm curious about it).
