2007 Disneyland Half Marathon roster!

[Lexxiefern]

Hey Matt, maybe we will see you tomorrow! We are planning on going to the expo as soon as we check in and then heading to DL for the evening. I don't have any lime green yet, but I saw you and your DW at the minnie, so I will look for you guys!

Don't know if I will be able to do DTD on sun at 4pm since we will be at CA and I don't know if I will be able to get anyone to leave.

Go WISH Team Go!

Be especially mindful of that heat and come back with lots of pics for the team that is left behind. We are rooting for you!

 

[thndrmatt]

We leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning, see you all in the parks/at DTD/at the race start/during the race/celebrating at the W tent!

ok, i'm getting nervous about the weather now. i'm flying down from the Bay Area tomorrow morning, anyone already there happen to notice what it was like from 6-9am this morning? at least up here, it really cools off at night and takes several hours to warm up in the morning.

regardless, i'm sure we'll be OK. might just need to go a bit slower and drink a little more.

not sure what my plans are for tomorrow, i'm leaving my family at home this go around. i arrive around 1pm, figure i'd hit the expo and pick up my race packet and then decide if it's worth hitting the parks or not. are there any plans for an "official" WISH meetup?

[Hey Mickey]

I'm thinking I am going to be taking it reeeal easy Monday. My sons and I did the early morning thing at DL today -- got there at 7:15 and yes, it was already feeling hot and humid. I didn't check the actual temp, but the last couple of days its been in the mid-to-upper 70s by 7 a.m., according to the morning news shows.

Lots of hydration, lots of sunscreen, lots of loose WISH shirts and we should all be fine, right?

Ok, I am here!! What a long day! Was up at 5am EST to catch my flight from boston and it is now 8:30 pacific time so I have been up for 18.5 hours! The start line was already up with lots of balloons. The expo was way bigger than the one at the minnie. Alot of the sizes for clothes were gone already. More later...

Hey everyone,
I also did the 5k this morning and it was hot! I'm dreading tomorrow's race. Since it'll be hot, I don't expect to set any PR. I just hope to finish. Wish me (and everyone) good luck!

Good Luck! The low looks to be only 73 so drink up and keep hydrated!

Can't wait to see some reports and photos. I will be waiting for the live results

 

[lap3]

Thanks, Robert! I don't know about everyone else but I'll need all the luck I can get! Off to bed...

I thought the 5k (and the kids races) today were awfully unorganized. We were all put in one big shute. At the go red 5k in may they allowed us to seed ourselves as walkers and runners. I spent the first 2 miles of the 5k bobbing and weaving through the narrow pathways of the parks. Also, disney's 5k was 3.28 miles according to my garmin. I am really nervous about the heat tomorrow!!

Looking for info, I thought I saw the dates for 2008 as Aug 29-31, when I did the post race survey.

Can anybody confirm this? or got the inside scoop on next years dates???

 

[Hey Mickey]

I just finished the online post race survey and did not see anything about the dates for the 2008 race. And I haven't seen anythign else indicating the date either.

I received an email from WDW Sports congratulating all participants of the DL Half Marathon. It also mentioned that the 2008 DL Half will be Aug. 29th-31st (Labor Day Weekend). I'm assuming the race will be on Sunday, but you never know. Last year, it was set for Sunday and I made my hotel reservation at DLH (with DVC) for a 1 night stay, Saturday night. Next thing I know, they changed the race to Monday and I was keeping my fingers crossed that I could change my hotel reservation and still use my points (that goodness it wasn't a problem).

Boy was it hot. Decided to take it easy and survive, rather than force it and end up in the hospital. LOL.

All six in our group finished and earned our medals!

Now training for Honolulu Marathon 2007, followed by the Goofy and a Half Challenge in 2008.
