I have been in Brooks ID for the past 3 years and received a fanatics letter. I have a 2:32 PR but have only run 2:41 and 1:13 in the past year. I know of at least one guy who is a sub 2:30 marathoner who also got a fanatics letter.
I'll give it a try. If shoes are still 40% off I'll be happy.
It has been mentioned several times on this thread but it looks like things like high school coaching, blogging and other types of exposure matter more than winning local fun runs when Brooks decided who they want in the PACE group.
There is a guy in my area that made the PACE team who didn't even wear Brooks. He only ran a couple races, doesn't coach, and doesn't even care about the series. He got an email thanking him for all the support this past year. It's sad that good runners like you were screwed. But there is only going to be discounts for January and after that there will be limited promotions for first come, first served.
