    Official WDW Marathon Weekend 2013 Thread-Part 2

    Finally back from celebrating at Epcot and watching all the inspirational people finishing in the heat. I went with the full Peter Pan, with tights and hat. My hammy was gimpy from the Donald at the start, but loosened up after mile 3. It was still week and my quads were tired. Ran the first...

    Official WDW Marathon Weekend 2013 Thread-Part 2

    I left POR at. 4:05 and walked coach's route. It was light enough to see the path. We did run into a police man on the bridge, but all he did was tell us we were going the wrong way. :0) we kept going and walled behind corral E or whatever the last one on that side was. We had to separate a...

    Official WDW Marathon Weekend 2013 Thread-Part 2

    Okay, a bit of a brag, but I found out I got second in my age group. Being top 5 was my biggest goal of the weekend. That may be my only make as my left hamstring is pretty tight. If it doesn't loosen by morning then it will be a very relaxed marathon for Peter.

    Great job. It's an amazing feeling when you see that finish line. All the more when in pain.

    Quick half report: Solid start, but the humidity got to me in the second half. I felt I ran as good a race as I could. 1:23:50. I was surprised how dark some parts of the course were. Waiting to see place. Now off for my third attempt to ride rockin roller coaster. I hope everyone is taking...

    With all the flu news, anyone else sequestering in their rooms between now and Sunday? I might change my reservations and just do take out. I was thinking about doing a ride or two, but now I'll wait until Sunday.

    Marathon Weekend Weather

    Okay, this isn't looking so bad. I'm seeing a lot of 61s for tonight and 61-62 on most sites for tomorrow night. I can live with both those numbers as they are better than the 64s I started seeing. Peter may lose the hat, but the tights are coming to the marathon. Looking good people.

    Marathoners, time to commit....

    I know this a cult tradition, but I would caution anyone thinking about adding 1/4 mile and an extra up and down hill, and then consuming a sugary dairy (or dairy-like) substance right before the most difficult part of the race. If you've done it before then go for it. But, first timers might...

    Went for a run at 6:15 this morning. Felt decent. Not too warm or humid. Now time to rest--after Animal Kingdom and riding Everest a couple times.

    Official 2013 Disneyland Dumbo Double Dare, Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k Thread!

    I think so. They don't usually change until the 5th anniversary. The one at the expo looked the same.

    Expo guy said 10k and dumbo medals are still being designed. I'm sure they will do another painful FB release.

    Yeah, but the hat and tights really make the outfit. Given the humidity, the hat has to go. It's felt and doesn't breath.

    Peter Pan is seriously considering dumping the hat and tights. Will decide after the half.

    Also, rundisney guy with authority said they are looking at the 5k 10k timing issue and might address it after Tink. He was aware of the conflict and the times didn't sound written in stone.

    The DL half map is in the rundisney brochure. No cara land and very little DCA. More north backlot.

    The rundisney staff guy predicts only half full by the 22nd.
