    Changing Start Corral?

    Browse over to coolrunning.com or athlinks.com. They might have the race results and you can print from there (also at the Expo as needed - I did last year to move my corral from D to B)

    Race List(s)

    I've had my 610 crash twice - once with about 8 months of data on it, and lost my last run ( a half PR ). After a hard reset (normal wouldn't fix it), it lost all data and started over. About a week ago, with 4 months of marathon training, it crashed again and needed a hard wipe. While...

    Running While Texting

    If I run into one, I'm just playing my own game of Red Rover :)

    Marathon Weekend Weather

    Sarasota weather today, which is still 7 days away and 70 miles away, but it was a nice cool morning for a run and very overcast. Granted, things change in a heartbeat, but today's forecast down here was 59->82, 40% chance of rain. With any luck, it'll be similar for the race...overcast to...

    Marathon Runner Tracking??

    DisTracking is done by the B chip on the bib. At the 5/10/half?/20 mile markers, there are raised "track's" you run over that mark your time. Their system then sends the associated text/email to the spectator. No phone needed on the runners part:) The main thing is you need to sign them up...

    I have nothing but good things to say about the KT tape way (As I'm sure you can tell). I actually use the pro on injuries and the regular stuff as nip guards(as I have a ton and it's cheaper), no issues at all with it coming off. Completely customization in size as well for those who may...

    What kind of food is offered after the 1/2?

    After the ToT, it was the preboxed stuff. Cliff bar, gummies, spreadable cheese, crackers, cranberry/raisins IIRC. They had people handing out powerade, water, and fresh fruits (banana/oranges). In past races, the food has always been a mess, and while I would have LOVED to get a bunch of...

    Daughter did the 200m last year. They run in batches of roughly 50-100 kids, and it took about 7 waves for her to run. Approximate roughly 5 mins per wave and yeah.... If you can get the front / first wave (past all the parents who get their kids there first and push and shove), you'll be...

    *insert another use for KT tape here* I take a strip of it, cut it lengthwise, then make roughly 20 + squares out of one strip. At about 50 cents for the strip, makes a little more than 10 runs(taking off afterwards) super cheap, and it stays on extremely well with ZERO chaffing. I actually...

    I'm in a debate right now between walking over and riding myself. All depends on if I bag check, which I'm really thinking about as one of my friends will be running, but will be about 1-2 hours behind me on the finish and I can bring my phone that way. In either case, I'm always game for some...

    Marathon Weekend Weather

    Late post is late, but one of my runner coworkers mentioned what he does for halfs. He takes a Mcdonalds straw and cuts it in half, them puts one in each pocket/side of his visor and uses that to drink while running (same grab cup/pinch method, followed by straw). After he's done, back in his...

    Ouch! Glad to hear you're okay, but I would be mad if my Garmin was screwed up(610 as well). Have you checked with their support? They do carry a 1 year warranty, and while initial thoughts are that it might not be covered, one of my friends has only great things to say about them. As far as...

    I've also used the printers there for the waivers to print out previous times so if you don't remember to bring it, you can print there.

    Ran last year's half in a tank top, will probably do the same this years full. I've been doing my training in long sleeves just in case it starts off super chilly, but (With the exception of this morning), it's been a warm last few weeks.

    Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa Bay?

    I'm signed up for the Mic Ultra Challenge so I'll see you guys there! Didn't run it last year due to injury but looking forward to it this year!

    Mickey?

    Irony - the marathon is 1/13/13.... And yes, he'll be at the start on the podium, and I would imagine at the finish line congratulating racers as they finish. Unsure about in the finishers area for pictures since it would be very un-disneylike to have 2 mickey's within the same 'viewing'...

    What I've always heard is 'you'll forget how to go fast before you forget how to go far'. I'd say you should be fine:)

    Park open with Marathon runners running through

    That was my problem last year.....and the reason I'm doing the full this year. Saw the people doing the full down the YC/BC walkway and hit me that I could do it....

    I lucked out - when i got to my doctor on the cold/flu thing going around, they gave me a zpack anyways, in case i needed it. I ended up just popping them down since I have to take a week off already and missed my first 20 miler :/ just got over mine a couple days ago. Be wary - the first...

    Waivers

    If it's like anything like the half was last year, there will be plenty of gatehoppers for the treeline so I'll just blend in. Little misdirection is never a bad thing. What really sucks is I pulled the bib number, and for some reason, remembered it as 3469. Saw the corral placement and was...
