Hey! I'm one of those crazy WISHers who was up at 2:30am to do the Half marathon last Saturday! You bet we were representing the Lime! :thumbsup2

We also volunteered at many of the water stops for both races, which BTW also means getting up at 2:30am. :eek:

I know how much you guys want to know this....

5K = 3.1 miles
Half = 13.1 miles (3 hours 30 min time limit)
Full = 26.2 miles (7 hours time limit)
Goofy = Half + Full 39.3 miles!

Thanks for the mention. We always have a GREAT time at the WDW races! Thanks so much Pete, and everyone at the DIS for giving the WISH Racing Team a home. We really appreciate it! :goodvibes

And hey, after years of chatting with Dave (MouseSkywalker) on the Boards, I finally got to meet him! :cool2:

I'm going to do one of these this year! Can't decide which one though. I'm a bit old creaky to do a full marathon but I can handle a half! :thumbsup2

Thanks for posting. The WISH team is great! I did my first race last May, the Minnie 15K and the support of the WISH team was fantastic. I plan on doing the 1/2 in 2010, hope to see you there!
