Marathon Weekend 2018

[steph0808]

How does FOP show a 60 minute wait when the park isn't even open yet?!

I'm thinking of trying to get there first thing on Monday for stand by. It was a five hour wait yesterday at AK. FIVE HOURS!

No I didn’t that’s pretty awesome if true. They had a big party for them last night with an amazing looking cake.

Aside from the free entries for the perfect marathoners I heard they assured Disneyland races would be coming back.

Things learned while cheering for 2 hours outside BC this morning:
1) Some of those chair athletes are dangerously fast.
2) The athlete who was pushing himself with his knuckles while balanced on something that looked like a skateboard gives the phrase “determined” a new face.
3) Doing a jump for a photo pose at mile 5+ can be dangerous to your health, those around you and the photographer. Saw lots of stumbles and one guy actually fell into the photographer and hit the ground.
4) If you can belt out song lyrics while running you are really taking your time.
5) Guys like to dress up as princesses too.
6) My fitbit is possessed. It registered my cheering as a 2.4 mike walk.

Congratulations to all who completed the 10k this morning.

Huge thanks to @Dis_Yoda for the beer stop today!!

So the 10k marks the first run where I’ve ever been physically moved out of someone’s way on a run. I was walking through about to grab water at a stop and someone grabs my shoulders and moves me more to the left than I already was to run through. I was literally reaching out for water that’s how close I was to the table. Everyone around me was confused and shocked.

Hopefully that is the case!

Hope everyone had a great race!

I’m here waiting!

Nice to meet you @Dis_Yoda! Nice setup and pours. Stomach wasn’t ready for a sample though.
Thanks nonetheless.

Great race. Stopped for several characters and was especially excited to get the old hag.

Our photo stops ran us too late for the beer stop though so I’ll have to make up for it at HH.

@rteetz saw you as you were leaving the Pinocchio shot but you were past me before I could think to yell.

And glad we found the meet up this morning!

I would’ve smacked them

Heinous. I agree with @FFigawi. Throw an elbow. A broken nose ought to make them reconsider doing that again.

You're medal pics are making me more jealous and FOMO than I was. Gah!!!

 

[CherieFran]

Fun race this morning with several new-to-me character stops.

Glad to meet several of y’all beforehand! A great way to pass the time and distract from the cold!

 

[CheapRunnerMike]

Good work everyone! Keep it up Dopeys

Able to beat yesterday's 5k by 40 seconds! New 5k PR of 19:26 (yesterday was 20:06) and finally got that sub 40 (39:54)! Screamed several times with excitement across the finish!

So who’s going to fill up @Ariel484’s photopass with funny pics now that we have her qr code?

I’m here waiting!

Saw you! Thank you for getting out this morning! I was on the other side of the boardwalk and couldn’t get over. Also I don’t drink beer. And I like bananas. Am I even allowed on here anymore??
