Anybody interested in going to the Poly for a Lapu-Lapu on Friday afternoon or evening???

 

[ColleenG]

I'm intrigued, what is a Lapu-Lapu?

OMG, you don't know?? LOL. It's a tropical drink served in a pineapple at the Tambu Lounge or Kona Cafe. It's got fruit juices and 2 kinds of rum. VERY tasty!

Will have to try that! But after the race. Sounds delish!

Sounds good! Anybody else?

I'll be running and traveling solo as well. I'm at CSR and will also be doing the race retreat. Hoping to be around a 12:30 pace (doing run/walk intervals), but being sick for the past couple of weeks has really put a damper on my training so we will see. I'm doing the Tink this month, so we'll see how that goes. Should be interesting given that I've only run twice since Dec. 15th

Hey Nic! I'm at the CSR, too. Just booked additional rom for Fri. Trying to get a RR from a gal who can't go. Should know soon. Perhaps we can ride bus together.

That would be great! I hope you can get the RR -- I'm very much looking forward to that! LOL!

Hi all just realized this thread was here. I am traveling with some friends that purchased the chear squad package, but will be running alone in my very first disney race and first half marathon....super excited and nervous all at the same time!!!! If you want some extra chears let me know and my friends will be yelling craziness for you. We have a time share off property and our week long vacation is pretty packed solid, but I would love to meet up with any of you why we find out our coral placement. I don't have race proof of my finish time, but I usually run around a 10:30 pace....hoping I don't get placed in the last coral....I can't remember if I put an estimated time down.....good luck all and hope to see a few of you there

I may try to come if I can get something non-alcoholic (I don't drink) and can work it around the ADRs. Would love to meet some of you guys!

That would be great! They have tasty non-alcoholic drinks, as well . I know 2 of the bartenders there and they are awesome.

[Princess Cherie]

Please, please, please add me to the corral list! My first 1/2 and just started running in September! My time isn't the best but hoping someone out there is around 12 minute mile and in my corral. Does anyone know when we get our corralacements? Thanks so much ladies. This is going to be amazing!

Dumb laptop! ;0)

Hoping it warms up before the 24th! But if not, I'll be prepared. I'm running a 10K tomorrow morning and the forecast is for 25 degrees and windy

Hey Cherie! I will hopefully be around a 12-minute mile (depending on how many times I stop for photo ops!). My first 1/2 was last month at the Tink -- finish time came in around a 13-minute mile average, but we did stop a few times Based on the proof of time I submitted, I think I will end up in either Corral C or D -- was C for the Tink. Hope they get waivers and corrals posted soon -- the anticipation is killing me!

This is a wonderful board! The more cheering, the better.

So... I didn't have an official time from a race, but do now. I guess I'll see what my placement is then change it if it's last? What does everyone suggest? Is the last corral sad? I'm new to this stuff.

I ran it last year for the first time...the downside with the later corrals is that you are all at start line at same time, but the last corral started about 45 min after the first. That's a long time to be standing around after already standing around on the bus line for a long time. If you have a time that would allow you to move up, I'd suggest changing at the expo. Just my opinion...someone else might chime in with why they love the later corrals!
