First, I truly am sorry to put you in a position to have to take the time to explain your decision. That was not my intention, of course. Second, I totally agree with the rules and the need to keep it consistent, and maybe more important, relatively simple. Like I wrote, I would understand completely if I was disqualified this week. I honestly just thought it might be a little humorous to do the pic of real people verifying. So, if you haven’t already divided it up, I’m happy giving my payout to the group. And in the meantime will figure out how to carry my phone during track workouts. Your influence is multifaceted— I should be recording those workouts electronically anyway!

All good, no need to apologize. You can choose whether you disqualify yourself and transfer your payout to others.
