<p class=MsoNormal>As a person with utmost respect for the warriors of
Ansteorra, including the one that I'm wife to, an avid waterbearer, a
spectator, and a paying entrant, I think it sucks.<br>
<br>
I think it would be healthier for everyone if we had been inside that
spacious and gloriously air conditioned hall. As several people commented,
all of our pavillions and the field would have fit inside the hall and we
would have had a lot less people needlessly affected by the heat.<br>
<br>
I recall a statement made not long after Sir Thomas spoke in favor of our
traditions. I remember the Kingdom Chiurgeon commenting that if he had been
alerted to Sir Thomas' condition two minutes later, he would have had to call
an ambulance.<br>
<br>
Two minutes.<br>
<br>
I respect Sir Thomas' opinion, but I absolutely disagree with the idea of
continued fighting under these conditions. As my husband just stated, it's
not a 'tough man' contest, and safety should always come first.<br>
<br>
I understand that most of the twenty- something (?) entrants were happy to
fight in the heat, but I urge them (and any future summer event autocrats) to
consider the people who come out to support our warriors, of which I am one.
Please let us gather inside when the heat is at it's worst.<br>
