Marathon Weekend 2016

[PrincessV]

Regarding throw-away clothes.

Is it only allowed at the start or could I shed a sweatshirt mile 1, and chuck it on the side of the road?

Chuck it at any time!

Alright everyone, attached is a new version of the Marathon Weekend Dis'ers listing. Some new people were added (welcome) and some people changed their information. If you have any questions/comments or don't see your name and want to be included let me know. Just think, it's almost here!

Just studied this some more... I *love* that you have an estimated time for Everest... LOL.

Eleven days until taper... tick tick tick...

My wife's favorite (eh, Can I call it that?) is mile 11.6 of the half-marathon, "THE ASCENT". According to her, when she came upon "THE ASCENT" last year she audibly cursed. LOL! Mentally, I don't think she was prepared for it.

you can do it at any time, but please make sure it is well off the road. Clothes on the course are a tripping hazard.

I remember my first time tackling "THE ASCENT" and I'm pretty sure I had the same reaction. Although I think "World Drive Loop" may have caused slightly more audible cursing in my case.

Sorry the weather made for a unpleasant run. I have had runs that should be easy but warmer than anticipated conditions made it brutal. I hope the weather improves for you soon.

I can deal with this. Last year I came from Wisconsin and wanted a little relief from the cold but didn't get it. I don't mind running in the 50s or 60s. When it gets 40 and below is a different story especially in the bitter cold we get in Wisconsin. I'm sure this will change multiple times before we get there.

I'm ready to see merch.

 

[Waiting2goback]

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the merchandise as well. I normally don't buy much when I am there but I might change that for this race, if the stuff is worth it. It is 12/15 (stating the obvious, I know) and I was running outside in shorts and a t-shirt. It was almost 60' here in MA. I only got in 5 miles, and they were a hard 5 miles. I don't get why one day things are painless and the next it feels like I am pulling my car behind me. I don't get how, before I was hurt, I was running low 8:00 miles and now I can't seem to get back under 10:00. Granted I am not pushing myself hard because this race is all about fun for me and not time, I figured I would have recovered quicker on the time. Oh well, I am just anxious to get to WDW, as I am sure everyone is.

I feel your pain. 67 and sunny in Northern Mississippi today. My 3 miler was more difficult than my 15 miler this past weekend. Ready for things to cool down a bit.

Not much of a merch guy, but I am hoping to see the race shirts pretty soon.
