Marathon Weekend 2019

[lhermiston]

Okay...so, I'm going to try to put together something so we all know who is in our corrals, paces, doing character stops, etc. The idea is that if you're going solo and looking for someone to run with, this is where you'll find them.

This is nowhere near as detailed as @DopeyBadger's past spreadsheets. I don't know what time you're all starting or what time you'll hit Everest, Hollywood Studios, etc., but I hope you'll still find this useful.

So, here's what I'm looking for (from anyone who feels like participating):

User name:
First name:
Corral:
Anticipated 5K pace (if applicable):
10K pace:
Half pace:
Full pace:
Stopping for characters (yes, no, some):

So, for me, it'd be:

User name: lhermiston
First name: Lee
Corral: B
Anticipated 5K pace: 9:00
10K: 9:00
Half: 9:00
Full: 9:00
Characters: some

If I "like" your post, it means I have your info. If at all possible, try to get me your info in the next four days while I'm logging in from home. I'll try to post the excel file next weekend to see if we've missed anyone.

Are you staying at POR next month? Let's grab a beer.

No sorry I’m staying somewhere else but I really like it for race weekends. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to meet up during the weekend though.

Hell, I'll take a stray cat up there wailing into a microphone for an hour over listening to a word from her at this point.

I’m right there with ya. Her shrillness is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

“Gotta go see the winners at the finish line! Bye guys!” before Corral C even starts ...

It could be worse. She could stay and KEEP TALKING.

My headphones have only died at Disneyland races where she’s there the entire time before I start ... there’s not enough loud music to drown her out

Which race? This past year Dopey I drove for all except the marathon from Pop and AKL and had no problems. I didn't leave til 4 ish. The marathon entails more route closures that I didn't want to deal with.

I did the same thing with no problems.

I rarely bring earbuds and when she’s there I pay the price for it.

W&D last year was the worst when half the on-course “entertainment” was those screens with her screeching to hurry up and try this food/booze. LISTEN B IM DOING THE BEST I CAN AT 6 IN THE MORNING.

So I’m not the only one who cringed for that segment. It did make me run faster though!!

I sorta feel like Rundisney needs to freshen things up a bit. And by freshen up I mean being in someone new....and not shrill.

I don’t ever take DME - but doesn’t she do that too?

Yes! And the DME is another earbud opportunity.

Just so they keep John.

Noted! Thank you!

An improvement for sure.
