Marathon Weekend 2016

what humidity??!?

Fog usually occurs at high relative humidity. Maybe it didn't in this case and was just messing with my mind. The weather certainly could have been much worse; the temperature was very nice.

It wasn't in your mind. AccuWeather has the actual relative humidity reported as 100% during race hours.

I think those of us used to high humidity in combination with 90+ degree temps just didn't feel a whole lot of impact from it!

I'm not used to the humidity and I thought the weather was very good compared to Wisconsin.

I had to get out of the room to go for a walk and headed over to the expo. And believe it or not there is quite a bit of merchandise still available, magnets, shirts, everything

Talked to Bill Rodgers today and didn't realize it until much after.

Anyone else notice the new parking rates sign heading into Magic Kingdom? Glad I could pay with my Magic Band so I didn't lose too much time at the booth!

Wanted to post this here too. I am hoping everyone here has enough sense but maybe on the lookout for those who don't. This morning I actually managed to get to the front of J. Not the easiest task. But I made it. Anyways some genius decided rather then run straight and then move over he was going to run a diagonal straight out of the gate. Leading to us nearly colliding since we weren't that far away from each other to begin with when the race started and apparently we had similar starting paces. As it was we had a had shove and went on our way. But it could have been a lot worse.

I am not sure what possessed him to make such a stupid maneuver in the first place. But if I see him tomorrow he will be getting an earful from me.

I saw the 20 for the cars and thought it's been that way for a little while. Then noticed the runner / walker

Oh man, we missed that!

Halfway there!

Congrats!! Now you need to update your signature block for your new 5k PR, but I imagine you might wait until after tomorrow. Enjoy the full tomorrow!

This is what is in store for us this evening. Hope it all goes thru before tomorrow morning.

Congrats to everyone this weekend. Myself, 3 down 1 to go. This is also my first marathon distance and after today I am still quite sore. Having serious doubts about actually finishing but I'm just going to go and give my best effort. Quite surprised I had a sub 18 min pace after 4 character stops today.

Anyone know what time corral P started at? Just to try to give myself an idea how far start time J was. Will I get swept if I take 8 hours from J tomorrow?

And my sister sent me this one for all of those that are going to be playing the Powerball tonight

LSULakes - will the prayer meet be before or after going thru the gEAR check tent?

Good job! I'm in largely the same boat. 2 down, 1 to go with 26.2 serious doubts about finishing! Resting the legs and doing a lot of stretching today.

I'm calling my weekend the Dummy Challenge. All but 3.1 miles of the Dopey with none of the additional medals! All individual registrations.

It's been frustrating running at ~4.5 min/mile under my usual pace to protect the hamstring, but if it allows me to finish my first marathon tomorrow it will have been worth it!

Good luck, everyone. Forecast is currently a warm mid-60s with a 50% chance of rain for the first 2-3 hours of the race.

Hopefully we're all resting or asleep but maybe someone is around that could answer this ... do they ever have extra check bags when you get to bag drop? One of ours got thrown out by housekeeping today (they took the pins and mini clif bar out and left it on the table but threw the bag away?!?). We can combine but just curious, thanks!

I know it's a long shot, but which resort are you in?

 

[GrandAdmiralStrife]

Wow, they should not have done that. Reaching into people's bags is a HUGE no. Alert your hotel desk about that.

As to your question I'd imagine you'll need to combine bags

Anyone else spot the wild turkeys this morning?
