Marathon Weekend 2019

[SarahDisney]

About to head downstairs to catch my Lyft to the airport ... see y'all in a few hours!

Waiting to board SWA at BDL. TSA security checkpoint 10 - 15 minutes. TSA Pre less than 5 minutes. Safe travels for everyone today!

Security was empty at AUS at 4:10 AM this morning. Granted I used the crew line, but TSA was extra nice today.

LGA report:
Got to the airport a little after 5. At the gate at 5:15. And that includes slowly figuring out how to pay for my bag, dropping off my bag, and not having enough common sense to follow signs. Pre-check makes things faster, but the regular line didn't look bad.

I did not sleep well last night, though, so ... please send coffee.

Adding an extra day (or two) of waking up at 5 AM before Dopey is a brilliant idea.

Expo day for me! I woke up at 3am and couldnt get back to sleep. I’m just over the moon excited.

Anyone who has stayed at POR for the marathon have any idea which depot the expo buses go to first (I’m guessing main or west)? I’m going to try my hardest to be one of the first on in a likely futile effort to get in and out of the expo.

I can’t even remember what I wore to run when it was 50!

We had a very cool fall for us; from hot to cold with little fall. And tons of rain - lots of days in the low 40s and gray. This will be my first half marathon with a temp above 36 in 4 years.

The buses go to POFQ first, so if you want to be guaranteed an early seat, I'd suggest walking down to the front of the FQ (only one stop there) and boarding there.

We decided to take Friday off of work and drive over early, so we should be out and about in Epcot after picking up our packets/shirts. Can't wait!

 

[KSellers88]

I hope everyone has a great race weekend! I am a little weepy over not being able to make it, especially when I already paid for the marathon, but my parents need me back home so I know it's best I not attend. I cannot wait to hear all about the fun times that everyone has! Enjoy every minute of it!

Sitting here at work reading all the "I'm here" stories is driving me nuts! I've got today and a half day tomorrow still to go. Fly in Thursday evening and hit the Expo first thing Friday morning. It can't get here soon enough!

i hear you, except i am here but i have to work all this week. It is great that I can work remote, but I want to go play.

It's so exciting reading everyone's updates! I don't get in until Saturday morning and then we're going straight to the expo. I will live vicariously through all of you for now.

Less than 24 hours until I touch down at MCO!

Flight is at 7 am tomorrow, DME to AKV, then off to Expo, then Epcot.

I am so looking forward to warm weather and a vacation!!! With a little racing thrown in. So glad I picked just the half marathon this time to really just unwind. Though if they say, offer the 10k for like 50% off, I might jump on that, too, just to get in a run around the Boardwalk and World Showcase.

 

[Barca33Runner]

Just about to board my plane out of Indy. Hopefully make it to the expo around 3.

 

[rteetz]

Landed and ready to party!

 

[SarahDisney]

I'm waiting for DME .... never had to wait so long for a bus before. Sigh. I just wanna get some coffee, ride some rides, and spend some mpney! Get me to Disney!

 

[run.minnie.miles]

Good morning! We made the 2.5 drive to the airport and are now waiting to board. Looks like a lot of runners Looking forward to hearing expo reports!
