ain't nobody got time for waiting around like that listening to Carissa Galloway squawk about Westin

Thank you for brightening up my day at work with this comment. Any count on the number of times she mentioned getting married or her new name??

I'm sad to report that I did not come in DFL. I'm sorry to disappoint y'all.

I stopped for all the characters and then took six photos with Epcot construction (the real stars, y'all) and finished in a little over 43 minutes. I really don't think I could've drug that race out more because it was cold and I was SUPER annoyed by the relative few people they sent off in each "mini-wave". It was like 100-200 people at a time, which is ridiculous. Middle-back of corral A (where we were) didn't start until 5:48 and ain't nobody got time for waiting around like that listening to Carissa Galloway squawk about Westin.

Anyway. Pit Crew Donald was the hero of today's race. What a cutie that little pantsless guy is.

Those microscopic mini waves were stupid. It made the whole process take forever.

I had my headphones in so I didn't jump in front of a bus when she started talking - but I feel like the number is gonna be in the range of "more than enough".

I just rolled my eyes so hard I almost passed out. Good to know Carissa is still completely unbearable!

Right?! I'm not wrong in thinking it took FOR-EV-ER to be let go?

I lost y'all when I went to go throw away my heatsheet because I was for sure that once we got to Carissa we would be in the next group to go, but then as I was tying to make my way back the pulled a tape in front of me and told me to stay behind it.

Infinity? All the times? I know those aren’t numbers, but I think I’m underestimating.

Isn't 1 more than enough?

I know there is a 16 min/mile pace, is that from the last corral? How are lines for people who are in the back of the corral listings? (Running the 10K and half)

Perfect weather for runsies this morning.

Yeah the mini waves were definitely small.

Ha! I was thinking of you and your onesie this morning. I was very jealous.

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!

Now there is some A-level motivation.

If I have to crawl across the line, I'm bringing home a medal and a popcorn bucket.

Love this!

Still worried about the “thunderstorms” coming overnight Saturday that are still forecasted. Still praying non stop we are in the clear for Sunday

 

[DopeyBadger]

Congrats 5k'ers!!!

Here is the current weather forecast:



10k (5am to 8:00am) - Feels like 43-47 F (T+D of 89-94), possibly windy
HM (5am to 10:00am) - T+D of 106 to 124 (pace adjustment of +1.5%)
M (5am to 1:30pm) - T+D of 117 to 125 to 136 (pace adjustment of +2% to +3%), possible rain/storms

The HM forecast has gotten slightly warmer, and the M forecast has gotten slightly cooler (but both negligible changes). For those of you looking at a finish of 4:30 or slower in the marathon, be wary that the forecasted temps have continued to hold at being warmer than ideal. So keep an eye on that as the race gets closer. It may be advisable that you slow the pace from an ideal situation. Additionally, the possibility of rain/thunderstorms is being forecasted, but it's still way too soon to say anything definitive. The projected rainfall is tiny at best (0.01 in) over the course of the entire day.

We thought we saw you heading towards the corrals! You looked so cozy and warm

I'm mostly looking at WESH and hoping they are better at forecasting the local weather.

We may end up joining y'all for HH on Friday, if that's ok

Counting down until only a half day left of work. The seconds are starting to move backwards I swear!

Have all my clothes clean, my packing list about right, double check everything tonight. Got my A group boarding set up exactly 24hrs ahead this morning. And now....I waiiiiiit.

"Sleeping in" tomorrow by waking up at 3am instead of like 2:30am Sat morning for the race
