What's the deferral deadline for the half? Also, anyone know where to find the form? Thanks!
I thought it passed last month, but Smart Guy posted today just above. Call rudDisney as hope you get a body. I had the form bookmarked on the old website but cannot find it on the new.
Does anyone know if a finisher's certificate from an Ironman would suffice as proof of time? I hope to run in the 3:40 range, but because of injuries, I do not have a sub 4 marathon since before the cut off in 2010. I did just run the marathon portion of an Ironman in 4:20 and although it may not quite get me in the corral I want, will it keep me out of the last corral?
Saw the Chairman of ortho today about my foot injury. "You have an overuse injury. Stop running for 3 months and it will heal. Since you won't do that, take another week off and test it. If it hurts, you have your answer."
Not exactly what I was hoping to hear but honest and truthful (this is the doctor I refer to as my "work dad" so he knows me well).
I walked 2 miles at 3.8 without pain. I choose optimism.

Hi everyone! Glad I found this board! I was looking up information about corrals and found you guys! I keep hearing that the race gets crowded fast. This race will be my 9th full marathon and first Disney race! I have taken a few years off of marathon running, after I had my son. He is 18 months old and running the kids run that weekend Oddly enough, I feel I am in my best shape ever, after becoming a mom and really want my first sub four hour marathon Thoughts from any experienced Disney runners about what corral I may be placed in...?? I have heard the corral you get placed in makes a big difference, if you have a time goal. I submitted a 1:55 half marathon time from a year ago (and I think I put 3:59 as my estimated finish.) I ran a 20 miler this Sunday in 3 hours flat which is the fastest 20 miler ever for me. But if I am adding a 10k on after the 20 miles, it puts me right on the edge of the 4 hour zone... and I so badly want that 3:anything haha!!!

CDueNowI did my first marathon at Disney in 2010. Put in 4:15/4:30 estimated finish time supported by my 2:01 half time from Disney. This put me in Corral B. My "A" goal--run 4:00 (which I thought was my BQ time, although it turned out to be 4:05) I ended up with a 4:09 finish.
My point in all of this? Being in corral B was not a killer, time-wise--if that's where you end up. After a few miles of congestion, things do lighten up enough to be able to run your race. (My time lost was from miles 16 onward)
Good luck running sub-4. From your training, it sounds like you have a good chance.
Coach, 4:00 is qualifying time for 50-54 year old women for Boston. I keep track of that since it's my current age group!

hey amanda, just curious who you saw? what hospital? einstein?
i went to dr. andrew rosen today. he has an office on 84th street as well as by eastchester rd in the bronx. very good. at least i hope he is!

i had a cortisone injection in my knee today. hoping it's the "magic cure" for this knee thing. i haven't been able to run in 4 weeks. terrible. at least i know that on 11/10 i ran 18 miles. it's under my belt. doc says i can run on thursday. i'm SO hopeful. fingers crossed. can't wait to see everyone in just a month!!
And I am 28, so I have come to terms that a BQ will most likely never happen for me haha!
In addition to being worn out from this marathon training now the weather in central florida is not helping out. The past 4am morning runs were 65 and 72F starting out and near 100% humidity, and I was just getting used to the previous cooler temps.
Hoping for cooler weather in January or going to cause problems.
