So the people who didn't show have bad character or maybe they just are not crazy.

That's the kind of comment that would rub me the wrong way. Just because you're willing and driven enough to achieve a goal no matter how horrible the conditions - doesn't mean every else is or has to be!

This coming from the person who finished a Half Ironman on a day when the temperatures were hitting pretty close to 100 degrees, but who also has quit partway through a double century. Just saying - everyone has their personal limits.
