Marathon Weekend 2019

[Chasing Dopey]

Congrats everybody who ran today, and for those running tomorrow: GO GET ‘EM!!

On a side note, anybody else have trouble hearing the announcers this morning? (Whether that’s good or bad is up to you.)

We got in a little late to meet up before hand, but we’ve still got DATW.

I too need a nap. (And also in AK!)

The sound was godawful. At first it was ridiculously loud. They finally made an effort to get it a decent volume but it didnt do much to help the scratchy microphones. Not that I cared about the inane chatter but we couldn't hear what corrals were being started.

The white cherry was terrible. I'm glad to hear they went back to a decent flavor.

I don't remember the white cherry. Could have had some during the 5 and 10K's. But the during the half and full I drank nothing but Tailwind that I carried with me. Great stuff.

I dropped back from corral D to run with my daughter in G. We were close enough to the start to hear what corrals were heading out. Most had two maybe three mini waves. Corral F had eight mini waves. I didn't think they were ever going to end.

 

[DIS-OH]

My earlier question about my incorrect time...it resolved itself!

But it was nice to think runDisney thought I was worthy of the front row of Corral A for a few hours.

I will be cheering the Full runners on from Main Street in MK and maybe in DHS later.

Had a really fun time this morning! Really enjoyed the character stops. Hope it goes well for everyone running tomorrow!

What's everyone planning on having for breakfast before tomorrows run?

I'm planning on my usual cereal, banana, and maybe pop tarts. Planning on taking sports beans with me and possibly a honey bun. I just know that by the halfway point a honey bun might be the best thing my taste buds have ever had.

Random question, what is the typical number of runners that do not complete/do not start a runDisney race?

Reason for asking: in light of the discussions about numbers being down, my own curiosity and that helpful info graph rteez posted I went looking at data this afternoon and found:
10k - 14,000 registered, 11,940 completed so 2,060 dns/dnf
Half - 22,000 registered, 18,415 completed so 3,585 dns/dnf

20% Sounds about right for RunDisney events.

Is there a character list for the marathon tomorrow? (sorry if I've missed it in the thread)

Yes it was with the half list.

I'm up at 2AM so it will be a slice or 2 of N.Y. Style Cheese Cake with some Organic Peanut Butter. Before heading out banana with pb or a new cereal mix I've been using before my 100+ mile early morning bicycle rides----Grape Nuts, banana slices quartered, raisins, choco chips, cinnamon, organic pb, add HOT BLACK COFFEE, stir to mix and smoooooth. On course, Crank Sport e-Gels and Clif Shot 100mg caffeine gels.

OOPS, forgot mile 15.5 M&M McFlurry

Remember, especially those from colder climate areas, stay HYDRATED a bit more than normal winter training. The sun + humidity + clear sky = YUCK

Good luck and FUN for all

McFlurry John

I saw something about the photopass and linking those pics a few pages back and now can't seem to find it. Can anyone post the format in which to link?

Didn't see the info in the online guide. I have someone doing the Goofy Challenge and I am trying to get their pics to appear in my account.

I’ve gotten a very sore throat and cough. I’m hoping it doesn’t affect me tomorrow. Only 1 race left to finish -woohoo. Haven’t made it to a meetup yet as I’ve been in character lines. Did get some great gummies after I turned down the vodka oranges during the 10K. Really perked me up.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much!!!

I am a Goofy runner and none of my photos have shown up yet. The person I ran with only did the half and several of hers have. My assumption is they are sorting the "half only" ones first.

This breakfast reminds me of Sugar Rush from Wreck it Ralph mixed with Buddy the Elf and his spaghetti breakfast.

A few of mine just popped up.
