Danskin Tri WDW registration open

[getnthinr]

I can't go this year because I'm doing the last Minnie on the previous weekend , but the Danskin Tri Walt Disney World registration is open. It typically fills in a couple of days, so act now if you want to try it. 400 meter swim, 9 mile bike, and 2 mile run -- a mini-sprint distance ideal for those who want to try tri-ing in a supportive environment. You don't even have to go it alone -- you can find a friend or two and complete it as a relay team.

Here's the link to a thread where we discussed the tri last year -- it includes photos.

I cannot believe how fast that filled up! I am so bummed ! Shame on me for not checking my email or here on the 6th so I missed the notice that registration was open. I had seen on their site that they were planning to open it on the 7th, and I figured I would have at least a day or so. I didn't expect it would be closed 11 hrs from the time I got my email. I really do want to do this race but it seems like it just isn't meant to be for me.

I'll have to think about the Minnie 5K now. I wasn't going to do that because it's the week before the tri but now the idea of a 5K in Epcot is looking a lot more attractive to me.

Lynnda, I really am sorry I won't be there with you for the Danksin. I was really looking forward to it.

I am registered along with some friends. It will be my second tri, and my 3 friends 1st. I have found a loophole for those still interested in registering. If you reserve 2 nights hotel through Anthonys Travel, you can register for the race through their site. I called them to verify, because I have another friend who just decided to do this and missed the registration on the 6th. They said they save a block of registrations, so I wouldn't wait to long.

Good Luck!

Nancy - I am so sorry you didn't get registered in time! I'll definitely be looking for you next year, though! And I look forward to seeing you at Minnie!

Laura - I'll see you there! One of my friends got in with me, but four others missed the deadline - one because she was waiting on an e-mail response from the race director. Grrrr! I just re-read Anthony's - you have to book Friday and Saturday nights at the Contemporary in order to be eligible. That's about $500 for the hotel, and another $100 for the race...

I checked on the Anthony's option, too. Cha-Ching!!! $$$$$ Not in my price range. I live close enough that I would just drive in on race day and don't need the room.

All I can say is that next year I will not miss the deadline. I will haunt the site several times a day if I have to. Live and learn, right?
