Today? Tomorrow? Next week?

NOT SOON ENOUGH!!!!1!1!1!

Lol it will be here before we know it.

My bib number is exactly what I expected. Here's the interesting thing. As some of you may recall I was concerned about what corral I would be and wondered if I would be better off putting a PoT or just the first estimation without PoT. I put a PoT while my friend who was unable to get one before the race did not. We both signed up through RawThreads since I got her in on one of my buddy passes and our Dopey bib numbers are consecutive. So it wouldn't have mattered either way since we probably got slotted based on our estimated times whenever they added RawThreads bibs into the mix.

I feel pretty confident that I have a bib number squarely in the middle of the pack. One more thing to check off the list to worry about.

Me too, which is what I was expecting/hoping for.

It all feels very real now, LOL.

Were your estimated times below the time which rD requires a PoT, or above? Just wondering how closely they look at PoT vs Estimated finish times.

I'm being a bit impatient about corrals now that waivers are released so I did some digging and found this breakdown from 2013 (the last time the marathon corrals went A-H). Keep in mind, this was before Dopey, but it might give us some sort of clue regarding where a bib number could hypothetically corral.

With any luck, the actual corral assignments will be posted by the time I actually post this message.

I'm IN CORRAL "B" (if this were race day 2013).... #stiiiiillllWaiting....

 

[RENThead09]

looks like 6300 Dopey finishers last year. Anyone have clue on how many actually signed up?

There were 7970 bib #s. Doesn't mean that every bib in between was actually ever intended to be used though.

Me too!!! (Which tells me its a little off. I expect to be in C or D)

 

[rootbeerkid]

Based on bib number and past history, I'm most likely mixing with the balloon ladies pre-race and that's just fine. Just as long as they don't catch me once the race starts.

thanks. was just looking big picture. I know you have to take into consideration goofy and people running "just" the full as well. something to kill time until the corrals come out. hahaha Looks like I am middle-ish, which I will take.

Hmm... if I translate 2013 Goofy corrals to 2018 Dopey numbers, I'd be in E. But I seriously doubt I'd be that far forward with no PoT and entering a 5:40 estimated finish. I suspect 2018 corrals will have fewer people in early corrals and two or 3 giant corrals in the back.

Remember that Goofy and Dopey are combined now for that 10-12k total. So if your number is around 25000-26000 for Dopey, you'll be in H. (EDIT: I should have said more toward the back.)

I would be in E as well (based on those goofy corrals) and I submitted a 5:34 PoT.

If the 2016 and 2017 Dopey Corrals were condensed from 16 to 8, that would put me into the C corral range for 2018 which corresponds to my POT. I'll take that.

I’d be in E too with a POT equivalent to 5:32 according to McMillan

about the same with me. had a 2:25 Half POT.

Well, crud. With the same finish time in 2017 I was in K. I was hoping to at least make it into G for 2018. Still hoping...

I edited because you may not specifically be in H. Just more toward the back than E. So don't give up hope!

Fingers crossed! I'm not worried about being swept, but H would screw with my "touring plan" lol!
