Marathon Weekend 2025

[jrsharp21]

Well this morning was interesting. I came out fine but had an issue at the start when my bike decided to take three tries before it began to rotate. Maybe the cold since I didn’t have that problem starting from a stop again. Still don’t know what that was. Felt bad for the wheels behind me. Who I knew wanted to go. And I had placed myself forward since while I knew I’m not a front pack for us over the long. I do tend to come out of the start very fast and didn’t want to have problems with another wheels.

Two different people had flats. One while at the start. And I watched one of our other wheels crash on the downhill after mile 1. She’s got a bruised rib but is otherwise okay. Attached the vid because it’s a good example of why it’s good to heed our warnings. I watched the leg of the guy that wasn’t moving and thus caused the crash since she had nowhere to go. Get hit by one of her side wheels.

Please remember on the narrow section on downhills that are warnings are as important as ever. We don’t stop on dimes (I only was able to pull up right next to her because I applied my brake as soon as I saw it happen.) and collisions is a disaster for both sides.

I did see one of the wheels with a flat. She had another wheel with her when I saw them. I heard the non flat ask the other if she had another tube and the response was “yea, back in my room”.

Also, big thanks for Dopey 2020 for keeping me company in corral A this morning. Pleasure chatting it up with you!

It's always nice to find a friend in the corrals. A non-DisBoards member I talked with before last year's marathon is someone I now follow on Strava and he's killing it. I feel like he's completed another marathon or triathlon every other week.

Donald in France

Can anyone explain his white tux coat? Is it just his fancy attire? He needs a top hat or SOMETHING. I legit stopped walking by because I thought they had a naked Donald. It was jarring.

Given the soundtrack of the race, I just assume it was Rat Pack Donald.

Stupid question: why can only some bibs be fixed? If all you have to do is slap a new chip on, why can’t everyone have that done?

 

[The running raven]

I feel bad for the cast members. They’re probably bearing the brunt of it

Where do you find 5k results? I am only seeing 10k results at track shack.

Are you running Dopey? Only Dopey runners have the 5k tracked I believe (or at least that’s how it used to be )

Drove in on Western Way and looped around BB. Saw the following character signs:

Donald after AK exit
Lilo and Stitch on WW
Lotso on WW
Asha on corner
Frozone near BB
Bolt after BB

Yeah that was one of them. Also means you probably saw me since I passed them going into Epcot because of the flat.

LOL - I said the same thing

 

[GADisneyDad14]

DW and I were just discussing - we both thought the band in Germany was fantastic this morning.

 

[lukemorenus]

My results for both 5k and 10k are showing up.

You have 5k results? Where?

I am and only saw my 10K results too. So weird this year

 

[camaker]

I can’t find anything for the 5k either, just the 5k split for this morning’s race.

 

[jrsharp21]

Agree. I thought they were pretty good. They were nice and uptempo when I ran by, just what was needed around that time for home stretch.

 

[lukemorenus]

I gotta say - both the 5k and 10k courses were spectacular this year

 

[jrsharp21]

Disregard what I said about 5k results. I had just woken back up from my post race nap and read the results wrong. That was just the split from today. My bad. Sorry about that.
