Marathon Weekend 2019

[StarGirl11]

I think this is the first time that the I Did It shirts really don’t appeal to me at all. I’m okay with that though as I don’t need another.

See I’m the opposite I love the Dopey I Did It Shirt. And I swore off of them saying unless it was an anniversary looks like I’m breaking that swear.

Also that looks supisciously like a tech shirt. I would jump for delight if the I Did It shirts were finally tech again.

Dopey Jacket looks adorable. Hoping it’s not as thin as last years. Might pass if it is.

Love the pins.

So I will not be running this year (hence the hiatus) but will probably be spectating from animal kingdom/ yacht club.... but for the life of me I cannot figure out a witty sign... any suggestions?

"You paid HOW MUCH to run this slow?" has always made me laugh every time I see it.

OOOOH merch preview! I like the jackets - will see if anything is left by the time I get to the expo Friday morning! The I Did It shirts are meh, but I like the artwork and color schemes for the pins.

If it’s your one and only dopey I’d get something to commemorate it but that’s just me. You’re in Iowa too so you can’t have enough jackets

Don’t tempt me unless you’re buying! I have plenty of jackets, pullovers, hoodies, etc.

I’m thinking I won’t know for sure until I know how long the merch line is. I’d really like to see the front, too.

I don’t think merch will be that bad this year especially if you aren’t going right at opening.

And hey what’s one more jacket or hoodie?

Not loving the clothing merchandise pictures. Hoping everything is better in person as I really wanted a marathon specific jacket.

I Did It shirts at wine and dine were tech shirts so most likely they are. Looks like they have the mesh sides.

How much do jackets typically go for?

$80-90

Not cheap but I wear mine all the time.

That’s a lot of beer money!

I’m excited to see all of the merch in person! It’s my first marathon and marathon weekend, so I’ll buy a few things. I really want a marathon jacket, but it needs to be gender specific. I like the blue jacket the man is wearing (second from left). But, the question is, does it come in women’s sizes? A finishers jacket would be even better. But, I know last year those were only preorder after the race.

I can’t wait for Wednesday!

“Worst parade ever!” was on a sign at PHM a few years ago, and it still makes me LOL when I think about it!

 

[huskies90]

We are doing a group costume for the half - Pooh and friends: older daughter is Pooh, younger daughter is Piglet, wife is Eeyore and I am Tigger. And for the full - which I am running by myself- I am keeping it simple and going as Mr. Incredible.

I wanted as little change to my normal running gear as possible, so I am using all existing stuff I already owned and added some duct tape for Tigger and added a simple Incredibles iron-on to an existing red tech shirt. I also have orange calf sleeves for Tigger and black calf sleeves for Mr. Incredible. I will wear a black compression shirt under both. I am bringing several compression shirts at different levels of warmth to accommodate whatever temperature we are dealing with at race time each day. If it gets below freezing I will add running tights and hat/gloves - just as I normally do here at home.

Oh...I hate that sign!

 

[StarGirl11]

Yeah I’m with @Dis_Yoda on the parade sign. I’ve seen it so many times now at so many different races I’m kind of tired of seeing it. It was funny the first time but after the 50th or so it’s lost it’s allure.

Hey, that’s still about...four beers.

For people that have had family be spectators in the past what is the best way to do it? This is my first marathon and the first time my parents and sister are cheering me on for a run Disney event. I’m thinking have them there at the start then monorail to mk then head of to animal kingdom parking lot then for them to go to Epcot (where we are spending the day) and when I get close have them head to the finish? I typically run a 8-9 minute mile at beginning of races but I’m trying to slow down to pace myself. Will they have time to get from the start to mk?

True but that is still 4 beers.

Just remember your cup this time to save money!
