Not yet. To be honest, I’d completely forgotten we weren‘t caught up on the medals.

So how many miles will we add to CRAW over marathon weekend? We might blast right through a region.

I'm doing the marathon.

Yes, we really should! We have been running around the world together, probably time to put faces to names!

Weeks 45, 46 & 47 Update
I am starting to make a habit of posting multiple weekly updates at the same time

Over the past three weeks, we have racked up a total of 1,059 miles (353 average miles per week). As for milestones:

• Completed Indonesia and Region 6 (Sun 7/11)
• Complete our run through Malasysia and entered Thailand (Mon 7/19)
• @Baloo in MI crossed the 2,500 mile mark for CRAW (Fri 7/23)

As of end of Sunday, we were 350 miles into Thailand and 768 miles into Region 7, and the prediction models are showing that we should finish Region 7 on 8/19 or 8/20. We had a CRAW total of 17,569 miles completed, and for the entire CRAW, the prediction model is showing a finish date in mid-March (about 1 year 6.5 months for the total journey) based on our average daily team mileage.

Happy MW registration week everyone!

Region 6 (The Islands - Indonesia) Summary
The CRAW Region 6 route consisted mainly of one country, Indonesia, although there was a very small portion in East Timor at the very beginning. The region had a total length of 2,088 miles, and we completed the region with the lowest average miles per day of any region so far, although this was expected and due to a reduced number of team members (only had nine or less for the entire region):

Region	Distance	Days to Finish	Team Average Miles Per Day
1	2,512 mi	45.5 days	55.2 mi/day
2	3,094 mi	61.6 days	50.3 mi/day
3	3,173 mi	64.6 days	49.1 mi/day
4	3,296 mi	54.4 days	60.5 mi/day
5	2,638 mi	45.4 days	58.1 mi/day
6	2,088 mi	42.0 days	45.9 mi/day

For the total of regions 1-6, we have completed 16,801 miles over 313.5 days for a team average of 53.6 miles per day.

For Region 6, our team's breakout of running vs. walking was:

Running (including treadmill)	1,275 miles (61%)
Walking (including hiking)	813 miles (39%) - highest % walking of any region
Total	2,088 miles

And now, for Region 6 top honors...

This does appear to be a great opportunity for a meetup.

This is what I have...
Dopey: @Baloo in MI, @camaker, @Dopey 2020, @opusone, @RunDopey, and @vkeating
Not-Quite-Dopey (10k & Goofy): @GuinnessRunner (who decided to stay in Australia)
Marathon: @avondale & @jmasgat

Assuming I have that correct, most of us will arrive by Wednesday or Thursday. For the marathoners (@avondale & @jmasgat), when do you plan on arriving?

 

[RunDopey]

@vkeating and I are signed up for Dopey. We will be there no later than Wednesday morning and have a reservation at Beach Club for the weekend.

Cannot wait to get the OK to start running again, as I am not a very "happy" walker.

I was planning on Friday, but haven't booked flights (although I booked a room from Wed-Tues in case a bout of insanity hit and I registered for Dopey. Fortunately, I stayed sane enough to only register for the marathon)

Dopey is still open and it’s easy to upgrade your race distance. Just sayin’…

My daughter and I will be at Beach Club as well!

Also, I have been making my way through some minor injuries lately (three of them - one right after the other), so I understand your frustration to a smaller extent. Today's run did not go well, and I cut it short by two miles, so I may have to walk a little more over the next few days... and I am a horrible walker.

I will be coming in early, on Dec 31 for a family vacation and head out on the Tuesday after the Msrathon. Long trip, but it will have been over 2 years at that point and I will have some Disney Magic to experience!

A meet up sounds great!

I'd love to meet everyone, but my schedule may not be cooperative.

I haven't booked a flight yet because I'm waiting for Southwest to open up January so I can compare their prices. But I plan to arrive by noon on Saturday. Some of my family (mother, sister, sister's son) are arriving Sunday afternoon-ish and then we are all staying through the week following the marathon.

I do hope to join some form of the Goof Troop for the marathon - this is really the main reason I'm doing it!

I'm in for Goof Troop too. I did it in 2020--it was probably my first race where I ran with people and we did it just for fun.

There’s always DATW the Monday after for socialization, too!
