Marathon Weekend 2017!

[Ariel484]

Hey @roxymama these lovelies say "hi!"

 

[lahobbs4]

@Dis5150 are you in Arkansas? When do you fly out? I fly out of Memphis Friday morning and the snow forecast keeps popping up and then going away.

I leave out of Memphis tomorrow at 11 on Southwest! Maybe they could change you to that flight if the snow still looks like it's coming?

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! Love those Haunted Mansion shoes!

I checked there but they said I'd have to add one day shipping for $10 or something. Boo

Did you check on Amazon Prime Now? It's free 2-hour delivery, if those are an available item. It's how I'm getting my groceries tomorrow afternoon to the resort

Well that sucks. I'll check when I get to my hotel to see if I have an extra blanket but I'm inclined to think I packed just as many as I needed. If I do maybe we can meet before whichever race you need it for and I can give it to you?

The buses for the expo only pick up one place at each resort, but for the race do they stop at each bus stop? We usually stay at BWV but we are at SSR.

@Ariel484 yes seeing multiple people complain on twitter about the screw up on the goofy, dopey, and marathon shirts. Every weekend there seems to be some sort of merchandise screw up.

How badly can a stylized map on the back of a t shirt really be screwed up? Unless it's glaring and egregious (like misspelling inaugural or putting the wrong date in) folks should probably chalk it up to artistic license and move on.

Anyone else watching Mr Galloway right now?

When do you need it? I packed 4 and won't need them all. You're welcome to one if you like.

Edit: This should be a response to @AThrillingChase

It's the old marathon course map, I guess. The one with the speedway.

That's true. It's just an outline of a map which isn't the most detailed.

Hello my darlings! I like them even MORE if that's possible. Maybe I'll dress as these shoes for Halloween since I'll be at WDW. Haha
Ok, so officially adding these to my Tink expo budget.

 

[Ariel484]

Expo is not bad at all right now. Merch seems pretty well-stocked.

Behold, the incorrect course map:

I still have a bad fever and I'm leaving for Orlando tomorrow morning. Starting to be worried how I feel during the 10k and half, especially if it rains. Should I start thinking about not running if I still feel like this? Haven't been sick in years and have no time to go to the doctor. Help!

Yeah I was surprised everything was well stocked when I left around 6.

They look very blue in that pic - rest assured that they are purple.

Come on RD, give the people something to complain about.

Here's the sign for pre race morning everyone!

I mean, really, where's the out and back by the AK!?

To each their own, but to me complaining about this falls WAY into the ridiculous nitpicking category. It's an incredibly stylized shirt. I'm all for holding rD accountable when they really screw the pooch, but if this is going to be the standard by which they're ripped I wouldn't blame them for saying screw it, nothing's going to be good enough for these folks so why even try.

Shoes definitely look blue there, but the shirt looks purple.
