2009 WISH Team Marathon Weekend Meets

[chimera]

There are two main WISH team events on marathon weekend: dinner at POP food court on Fri, Jan 9 and breakfast Mon, Jan 13 at Boardwalk Bakery. Last year, racers also met at the start of each race to hangout together for moral support and pace grouping. Generally, we gather at the end of the race at the W tent (which didn't exist last year) though we did find each other for a photo op with medals. Anyway, please post where you'll be, how many you're bringing with you and when. Also, if you're scream teaming or have a scream team, please post their location. If anyone has any ideas for other events, please post 'em! I'll keep a list here of who's doing what.

Fri, Jan 9 WDW 5K

We plan on being at Pop Friday and the Bakery on Monday morning.
Oh, yeah - the races too. You can't get rid of us!

 

[bubba73]

I will be at POP for Friday night. As of now, I don't have anyone coming with me. If that changes, it will be just one other friend. Don't know if I will be able to do the Bakery on Monday. I may have to head back on Sunday night to go to work on Monday. I will see.

DM (Judy)and I (Tracy)will be at:
Both participating in Friday's 5K
Both at POP Meet
I am doing the half and DM is scream teaming for me. She'll be at MK and then back at EPCOT. May be other places but will let you know when she knows more. I be at the pre-race get together, but not sure how long I'll get to stay after. Last year the ball of my right foot was killing me and I just had to get off of it.
Sunday I am volunteering at water stop #11. DM is sleeping in. I may get to the finish to scream team.
If the desert party is still going on, DM and I will be there and we both hope to be at the BW Bakery for breakfast on Monday.
Is that it?? I think so.

Hi Team!

DH and I are doing the 5K Friday AM and we'll be at the Pop meet Friday dinner.

We will be waiting in the staging area for the half on Saturday just about as early as possible (so that we can be at the front of whatever corral we are assigned), and then will be on the lookout for WISHers at the end.

Sunday AM we are volunteering at Water Stop # 2 Red, and then heading out to scream team. We haven't decided on a definite location, but I am thinking we will head to the AK tram area so that we can give our FULL teammates a great sendoff as they head into what I think is the yuckiest part of the full - that dreaded shadeless barren march from AK to MGM. Then we will probably go the area just outside Epcot to cheer some more.

We are also planning to be at the Boardwalk Bakery on Monday morning.

Mel,

Stephen, Carter, and I will be at the Pop meet Friday night.

Stephen and I will be at the Half start Saturday morning and then the W tent afterwards.

Stephen will be at the Full start on Sunday, I will be at the TTC (mile 9ish) from about 6:00 until Stephen passes, in the past it's been around 7:45. My parents and Carter may be with me, depending on Carter.

My parents, Carter, and I will be at the Beach Club (mile 24ish) from about 8:30 until the last person crosses.

Stephen, Carter, and I will be at the Boardwalk Bakery Monday morning.

I am so excited for marathon weekend!

Kevin and I will be at POP on Friday night. We won't be able to make the Boardwalk Bakery this year. We will see everyone at the W tent after both races.

 

[scoolover]

I will be at the Pop on Friday and at the meets before the half and full.

Hi.

me (Stacey), DH (Jeff/GrumyinNY), and DD will be doing the 5k on Friday, and will be at Pop for the MeetNGreet and Dinner.

Jeff and I are doing the 1/2, and DD should be in the grandstands (plan to be determined yet). Will be floating around before and after.

Full - we're gonna be somewhere screaming/cheering everyone on: either in Epcot, or near finish - not sure yet...

Also interested if we do something Sunday night.

Monday Bakery - will get back to you, might be sleeping in...

Thanks!!

 

[lenshanem]

DH and I will be at POP (Although, we might get there a little late.) and at the pre-race for the Half.

 

[Honeibee]

OK, just so you guys know, Charlie and I probably will NOT be coming to the PC meet so please please please don't wait for us for the team picture.

Mel - Both Charlie and I are in for the Half Pre-Race and the "W" tent at the end.

After WS#2 for the Full I'm not sure where I plan to go to scream team. I have to give that some thought.

 

[Kristi1357]

...Charlie and I probably will NOT be coming to the PC meet...

EXCUSE ME???!!!!

 

[Honeibee]

EXCUSE ME???!!!!

Yup, there is that very real possibility so don't wait for us. Photoshop us in later.

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey there, we will be at the POP meet Friday night.

We are doing the 5K on Friday and the full on Sunday. We will be at the pre-race meets for sure.

Thanks

My MIL did that once. Seriously.

You better have a good reason, Judith Anne!!!

Krista

Oh, please forgive any typos, I'm typing one-handed while I hold Carter.

 

[wtpclc]

Scott and I are in for Friday night (maybe my parents too). We'll be volunterring at Waterstation 2 & 9 for the half and will be at pre/post race for the full.

BTW, Judy's lying. She just wants to come in last minute and make and entrance again. Love you Judy!

 

[Honeibee]

Krista & Carrie -

That is so not true! I have a REALLY GOOD REASON for maybe not making it. Honest!

And Krista, you do pretty good with one hand!

 

[twoWDWfools]

Patrick and I will be at the PC meet.
We're doing the half so will meet up before and after.
Working blue #2 for the full then will screamteam just not sure exactly where yet.
Not sure about Monday morning - may also let the alarm have a rest.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Dennis and I will be at the PC meet. I can't wait to see all my WISH buddies!

I am going to try to make it to the PC meet on the 9th. I will be there with my daughter. She's not into the whole race thing, so I may have to drag her out of the parks to make it on time. We are leaving the morning after the Half to go on a cruise (dd's 16th bday gift) so that's the only meet I'll be able to make it to.
