Dis'er Name - athrillingchase
Costume - nada
Corral - I
Early Bird/Late Arriver to corral - late
Front/Middle/Back lining up in the corral - wherever I fit!

Getting a run in tonight. Yay!

Edited because now I got nervous! Haha

 

[rteetz]

Yay!
Wait...how will we find each other there?

I believe I'm going with a zip a Dee doo dah themed shirt (splash mountain).

 

[SarahDisney]

Okay, finally had 5 minutes to do this...
(I don't feel comfortable sharing my full bib numbers, so I just put the first 3 digits for each ... let me know if you really need the whole thing)

Race: 5K
Name: Sarah (& Beth)
Bib#: 731xx
Dis'er Name: SarahDisney
Costume: AHHH!! No idea! Check back with me later.
Corral: Probably D or E
Early Bird/Late Arriver to corral: Earlyish
Front/Middle/Back lining up in the corral: Close to front and side (probably closer to the right side, and not necessarily the very front, but close to the front)
Expected Pace: 12:30 without characters, 14-19 with characters (we plan to stop for all the characters, not sure how much that will slow us down)

Race: 10K
Name: Sarah (& Beth)
Bib#: 629xx
Dis'er Name: SarahDisney
Costume: Sarah - Dumbo Inspired; Beth - ????
Corral: D
Early Bird/Late Arriver to corral: Earlyish
Front/Middle/Back lining up in the corral: Front or Middle & Side (again, probably closer to the right side)
Expected Pace: Sarah - 11:30 without characters, 13-16 with characters; Beth - 12:30 without characters, 14-16 with characters (we'll be stopping for as many characters as our pacing permits ... so depending on lines, we may both be closer to 16)

Beth (my sister) and I will be together for the 5K, but separating for the 10K. If you see Beth without me at the 10K, you can still say hi - even though the names won't mean much to her because she doesn't read the boards, she'll still be really excited to meet some DIS'ers!

(Edited because I realized that I had mixed up the first digit of our 5K and 10K bibs ... mornings... )

 

[rteetz]

Aw come on. Don't make me pack my racing shoes. I don't prefer to think of it as being older, I think of it as having a more reasonable boston qualifying time

You've been running longer than I have so you'd probably win anyways.

 

[CheapRunnerMike]

First, exciting to see the course unveiled...although there wasn't really anything exciting about the new course. Still, just nice to finally have it available.

Second...I am LOVING all of the costumes people are coming up with and really wish I could somehow see them all on race day. @StarGirl11 with the TARDIS? @Keels stepping up with Dole Whip & a McFarland Runner? And then there is @GrandAdmiralStrife with the whole Star Wars theme, especially Bikini Leia for the marathon...this I'm going to have to see! My wife and I are starting in I, so might see you go speeding by at some point! Awesome job everyone!

 

[dancingtodisney]

Well, it seems that the corral assigned this year are slightly different from last year...so I won't be in corral I as I thought...

Here's what I got:
10K - corral B
Half - corral H

@dancingtodisney , @michigandergirl , @stitchnj , @rteetz , @AThrillingChase : what did you get?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I got coral H as well but my sister just missed out by like 50 bib numbers so I'm in I!!!
We should definitely still say hello!!

@AThrillingChase we are official coral buddies! Our pace looks about the same too!

[mbwhitti]

Two things of note. Someone didn't apparently edit the event guide before posting it because there are several things wrongs with the pickup page:
Second, though I am questioning how accurate this page is. Looks like only one merchandise booth this year instead of the normal two?

I noticed this too. Looks like someone did this in a hurry. In the listing under this page, I think it mentions merchandise. It appears rD is splitting things up even more than in the past.

Actually You're smart. I had forgotten all about the people that were using other people's bib numbers they found online in order to get in and bandit races.

 

[AThrillingChase]

I noticed this too. Looks like someone did this in a hurry. In the listing under this page, I think it mentions merchandise. It appears rD is splitting things up even more than in the past.

I was confused by this. I saw merch was on a different level from packet pick up. I guess I usually go to the big section so I didn't pay attention. But, that seemed new to me?

It probably doesn't matter much for me anyways lol. I am going to the expo Thursday afternoon. Luckily I am not expecting to want anything all that much (saving up big time for the dark side challenge!) and I'm doing only the half this time so no rush for goofy merch or anything.

Dis'er Name: forceword
Costume: Aladdin, Prince Charming, Snow Prince, Mickey

Really? Don't they need ID?

 

[OldSlowGoofyGuy]

Race: Half
Name: David

Front/Middle/Back lining up in the corral: Back, out of the crowd. Luckily I'm tall, so I can see over everyone.

Sorry about that, didn't know it would be an issue. However, if it makes others feel better (ehh maybe??) I could have found everyone's bib #s and names using the link we originally used to find them last week. So you aren't necessarily posting new information.

Yeah, this.
I mean, I won't post my full bib number because I like to have some illusion of privacy, but if you're just looking for a random bib number and matching name, you can get it from that link.
I would advise people not to post pictures of their bibs with the number visible, though - that's apparently what people look for when they're making counterfeit bibs. Just the bib number alone won't get them into the race if they can't create something that looks like a real bib, but if there's a picture, they can print that on good quality paper and hope nobody's looking too closely on race day.

 

[IamTrike]

Really? Don't they need ID?

No they take your bib number and a picture of the bib and just print out a copy of it and then wear it to the race start. It happened a lot at Boston in 2014 t and some fairly prominent people got caught. I think the wife of the founder of foursquare was one of the people. People found out because when they looked at their race pictures they saw lots of other people running with their bibs.
