Marathon Weekend 2017!

[rteetz]

I would be hip to a meet and greet the morning of the marathon. I'm running solo, so it'd be nice to socialize a little and get my mind off the race for a few minutes.

I would be as well!

I would be happy with a marathon morning meet up. I am not arriving until late afternoon on Friday and have to go to the expo on Saturday after DD27 runs the half. Since she is now not running the marathon I will be alone and looking for distractions to calm my nerves before the race!

 

[DerTobi75]

I am also running solo! So, I am more than happy to meet some of you :-D

 

[MommaoffherRocker]

I'll be solo for the marathon too and agree a meet up would be a nice distraction.

So as I said previously, I'll setup a Dis'ers sheet with everyone's information on it for each race once the corrals come out (today... maybe... maybe....). As well as I plan to have a meeting place pre and post many of the races. However, there were a few (@FFigawi, @camaker , and @Keels ) who had mentioned a desire to have a Dis meet up at a time not during the race mornings. Do you all have a place, time, and date in mind that would work best for such a meet-up? I can include that in the packet I'm making and the earlier we plan for it the easier I can make it work into my Disney schedule. I'm getting so excited!!!

I can meet beforehand or outside of the races, as I'll be solo. I just thought pre-race would be a bit time-limited as well as limited to the folks running in that race, but I'm certainly game for either approach.

Either way, a planned meet is probably better and less stalker-y than the impromptu meet-up that @MommaoffherRocker and I had at DLH weekend!

I, too, won't be in until Friday afternoon.

But, did you account for the ground speed velocity of the unladen balloon ladies?

Balloon laden or coconut laden?

If only we had bib numbers.....

 

[Ariel484]

27559 bibs for the half...yikes!!!!
23102 for the marathon

<4:38 ?!?!?!? Argggh - the POT drop down was for sub 4:40!!! My POT is based on a 2:10:23 half, so I'm looking at H instead of G. My goal for a pre-dawn trip thru MK is looking dubious at best at this point...

 

[Barca33Runner]

If I remember my POT estimate correctly and it didn't get messed up in the system looks like I'll be in Corral G.

^^a friend just pointed out the DEMO VERSION watermark on those images, so they're not final.

I guess they didn't have as much trouble selling bibs as I thought. They just decided they wanted a more crowded course.

Just noticed that. Someone posted these in a Facebook group so I thought I'd share.

 

[Z-Knight]

I think based on my half POT, I will be about 30 seconds from missing C, so I'm back in D again. I can't complain, considering I was hurt this year and couldn't improve.

I hope they're real! I would be pleased with my corral placement if they were.

 

[camaker]

Looks like E for me, most likely.

 

[DerTobi75]

Never saw such a nervous crowd, here or on Facebook :-D
