9 hours vs less than 2 hours. That Math ain't Mathing.
You can get from your house, go through the ridiculous procedure that is Charlotte TSA, to your gate, on a plane, fly to Philly, deboard, grab a smashburger (it’s not far from your gate), navigate the rental car process and drive to wherever you are staying for your 5k the next day in less than 2 hours?
Bravo. You got me.
