Outsized, part 2
The fattening of America continues ... I noted previously how it's sort of odd that at 6' I end up buying small clothes. And now another sign -- you can't even request a small t-shirt if you're running the Buffalo Marathon or Half-Marathon.
So if I normally get medium, would I need to get a large - since that's the middle choice? Is large the new medium or is medium still medium?
Looks like they use the same shirts for the marathon and half-marathon. I'm not a big fan of that. Probably the same finisher medals too.
I think I mentioned on my blog about Get in Gear running out of Medium and Large shirts. It still boggles my mind that you can run out of the 2 most popular sizes. Don't they have like 25 years of historical data to analyze prior to ordering?

You have to remember that you're describing Buffalo. Land of the chicken wing. Land of beef-on-weck. Land of pierogi and pasta. Buffalo is not a place for the faint of heart, nor for those of especially healthy inclinations.
To run a marathon in Buffalo is incredible, but to need a small t-shirt is almost unheard of on the Niagara Frontier.
