Marathon Weekend 2019

[SarahDisney]

Well ... my sore throat has evolved into a full-blown cold. Short term goal is to track down a cup of tea (shouldnt be too hard). Long term goal is to track down some cold medication.
Sigh.

Congrats 5k folks and good luck tomorrow 10k folks! I was not paying much attention to medals this year since I am not going; the 5k was an Oswald themed race???? So cool! What do the medals look like?

Here you go.

My throat just started hurting this afternoon. I’m hoping it’s from the cold this morning but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t bode well for the rest of the weekend. Hope you feel better soon!

Apologies to anyone who couldn’t find the meet and greet. I’ll be back by the gear check trucks tomorrow morning, near the A-C sign. Just look for the gathering of ridiculously good looking runners (and a tall guy with a handmade sign).

Regarding weather...I suffered through the frosty monsoon of Boston this year. I will take ANYTHING over that crap, even a thunderstorm.

They also sold the pins in "packets" for each challenge so you dont have to chase down a bunch of singles if you dont want to.

Wow, that's great! I'm not running Marathon Weekend, but I'm living vicariously through everyone in this thread that is lol. I'm running Princess Weekend, and I was concerned about the availability of pins and magnets after hearing everyone talk about the lack of those items at the Wine and Dine expo. It sounds like they made improvements, so I'm going to roll the dice and not preorder them... I love the idea of the packets, hopefully they'll have that next month too!

Thanks again for the information! Enjoy your trip!

I’m hoping to meet up with you guys tomorrow!

I'm so sorry to be annoying and keep harping on pins, but I just watched an expo video and it reminded me of another question. Did anyone notice if the AP pins were on sale at the expo, or were they preorder only?

AP pins?

 

[Livelovedance]

AP pins?

Annual Passholder pins. I saw it listed on the princess weekend preorder page, and in the video I just watched they showed the marathon weekend pin that they preordered. It seems strange to sell a preorder AP pin if anyone could buy it, and you can't use an AP discount to purchase it, so I was just curious.

Oh hey!! Just came down with an ear infection. I’m joining the sick crew and bringing some decongestants to the party

I didn’t even know that was a thing so it must’ve been pre-order only. I only saw an AP marathon weekend shirt.

 

[Tall Todd]

I have no idea what to wear tomorrow...
Help me DISrunners, you're my only hope.

That's so strange. Thanks for the information!

I'd recommend clothes. Unless you want to have a private race with event security, in which case go with whatever you feel like.

Not sure if I am just paranoid or the cold I had at Christmas is coming back but I am afraid I might be joining the list of those coming down with something.

I wasn't really looking for it, because I had prepurchased it, but I dont remember seeing the ap pin for sale.
And i was surprised they didnt ask to see my ap when i picked it up. I thought they might.

Question - Is there a way to check if my bib is properly linked to my photopass account? Do I have to call? I know pictures sometimes take a while to show up, but I'm still nervous that I did something wrong.

Finally here! On DME, at least! POFQ for check in and a late dinner, then Expo first thing in the morning.

Yay. I was thinking about you while I was working because I did not want to be working. Hope to meet up this trip.
