Marathon Weekend 2016

[CourtSchwab]

Welcome! As a fellow long time lurker (umm... maybe like 3 years ), I felt making this comprehensive dis'er list might get more people like I used to be to join in on the fun. If you give me your info, I'll add you to the list. We've got 2 in J for the full and 3 in J for the half.

Race - full
Name - Courtney
Bib# - 5890
Dis'er Name - CourtSchwab
Costume - Minnie Mouse
Corral - J
Early Bird/Late Arriver to corral - early
Front/Middle/Back lining up in the corral - middle
Expected Pace - depends how many pictures we stop to take!

Interesting breakdown of the corrals. Something looks odd, though. Goofy and Dopey should have far more entries than are shown. Dopey last year was about 7500 and Goofy was 6500. I find it hard to believe they've both dropped to under 2000.

Summed them from same Excel spreadsheet (original, converted to jpeg). Dopey has 8127 and Goofy 3369.

Thanks for doing this!
It's interesting to me that for the Half, the number of bibs in the corrals is a lot more "exact," where in the marathon is more "approximately" (meaning, the half will have 2000 in one corral and the marathon will have 1999). I know that's a nitpicky thing to notice, but it really jumped out at me as being interesting.

Yeah, that's why I think each corral may err a couple people either way (either a few too many or a few too few). I was doing this in between my real job so I may not have added that extra bib from subtracting pure numbers. Like bibs 1-15 isn't 14, so you have to add back in one. Just did it as an exercise to give people an idea of corral sizes.

I was told there would be no math.

I'd rather have a keg over a 6-pack any day

I like to look at it as having several inches of insulation covering the six pack

 

[Keels]

Also, all this talk of six-packs and kegs is making me thirsty.

I moved up to J when this year's corrals were released. Happy with that. Now if I can just finish week 2 of marathon training yeah I am a little behind. Did the Cocoa Beach Half and the W&D Quarter with a little training in between. Going to have a lot of fun though.

Now serious question -

For all the other races, if I had some other race weekend event (like ChEAR Squad), there was a separate waiver I had to print out - it was just a basic one, not unlike the one up for Pasta Party.

I've got Race Retreat for me and some ChEAR Packages but don't see a spot for those waivers. Did anyone who had these items this year have to print out waivers for those items? I guess I could just print out Pasta Party ones to be safe.

Costume: Mrs. Incredible
Corral: I
early arriver (I hope!)

[roxymama]

Race: 10K

Dis'er Name: Pixie Heart
Costume: Tinker Bell or Daisy Duck (TBD)
Corral: B
Early Bird/Late Arriver to corral: early bird

I "think" that since you have 609XX in the 10k and are in corral B that it is most likely that with my 708XX bib in the 5k that I will be in Corral B for that race. This is me just throwing darts with guesses.

 

[Mimsy Borogove]

I'm in Corral J, and I'm happy to have any cushion I can get as a first-timer for both a marathon and Dopey.

(as an aside, I am really chatty today and I think it's because it is WAY easier to communicate on a computer versus my Kindle, which is how I usually lurk but don't post because it takes forever to type)

Last year when I picked up my Race Retreat I didn't have a waiver. Just walked up, gave them my name, and got what I needed.

I love this group. LOL.

The corral splits are great. I know it's was just a quick rundown, but my OCD is so happy to see mostly even numbers in the corrals. The DL races are NEVER like that. LOL

Where can I find out what corral I'm in? I tried to look back in the forum to see if a location was identified but had no luck!

It's on the RunDisney website on the Runner Info tab.
