Now reading about people entering Goofy undertrained?? Oh my word. I can't imagine spending nearly 400 dollars to get swept.
I found a blog yesterday written by someone who registered for the 2012 Goofy and did maybe a quarter of the scheduled training runs. They finished the half (in 3:35, so just over the cutoff time) and were first approached by the sweepers at mile 4 of the full marathon. She made it to about mile 21 before getting swept and was given a Mickey medal, but not the Goofy one. I just found the whole thing annoying and am using it as a cautionary tale to keep up with my own training for the full! I can almost (almost) see giving someone a medal if they made it to mile 21, but this person was obviously way undertrained. I think I'd be too ashamed to accept the medal if I wasn't able to cross the finish line. I guess this is the downside of Disney's "make everyone happy" approach to customer service!
