Still waiting on my half only code as well, harrumph. Also not liking the warmer temps for Saturday morning.

Dopey 214XX with a 1:34 10 mile POT

 

[PeppercornElvis]

I'm Dopey, 207##, with a proof of time of 1:53:58.

I used that same proof of time for Dopey in 2024 and was in the A corral, but I did notice that my bib number this year is a little bit higher than last year's number, so not sure where that puts me this time.

Spoke too soon! Goofy 305xx no POT

 

[GuinnessRunner]

Well looks like all I had to do was come here and whine because mine are filled in now

Goofy 301XX with a HM POT of 1:59:32

Two Dopey bib numbers for the record:
202xx with a 1:42:13 half POT
205xx with a 1:49:56 half POT

I assume like most things for MW, since there are so few of us doing Goofy, we are low on the priority list for them.

With Goofy, you basically get a fast pass for bib pickup. The year I did Goofy I felt like an elite runner because they only had a couple of pickup booths and no one was in line.

Last year's half of half is why I might never do a half without doing at least one other race again.

That was my approach after 2017, too, but my body can’t do b2bs anymore and I didn’t have time or finances to do the 5K + half. But the Springtime 10-Miler was still open yesterday, so now I’m registered for that as a backup. Running Mickey knows how to suck us back in lol!

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with nearly all the Disney websites (myDisneyExperience, memory maker, dining reservations, etc) with Safari on a Mac? I cannot seem to click into text boxes to enter anything. I was forced to install Chrome.

On a related note, anytime my password manager enters the password (I use the built in Apple one) on both my iPhone and Mac it won't login. It looks to populate the password field, and I have confirmed it is the correct password, but clicking login doesn't work. I have to type the password in then it works.

Quick running watch questions:
1) Who is leaving auto-lap on or manually lapping each mile?
2) Does anyone pause their watch for character stops or just let it run? If you pause your watch, do you do it manually or do you have your watch set to Auto Pause?

Dopey 214XX with a 1:34 10 mile POT

21XXX with a 1:34 10 mile POT as well!

 

[camaker]

214xx with a half PoT of 2:06.

Seems to line up with the other numbers reported thus far.

I am a proud member of Team Not-So-Fast and was quite hopeful about finishing the Dopey challenge and my first full marathon. But during my last training run in the park, a bicyclist lost control of his bike and crashed into me. I'm all bruised and scraped and very sore. It doesn't appear anything is broken but I'm definitely going to be moving much slower. I was already worried about the pace requirement for the full marathon.

Goofy bib number 300XX with a POT from a marathon of 3:24.

For races, I try and remember to switch the watch to manual lap - so I can see race mileage pace, and I do not pause my watch during the race at all and I do not lap it for stops.

Oh no! I’m so sorry. That sounds terrible!

1) I leave auto-lap on, set to notify every 0.25-mile. I use it for monitoring and adjusting my pace on the fly.

2) No character stops for me, so I can't help with this one.

1) Auto-lap, just cause I might forgot to press the button. And last year there were missing a few markers during the marathon, at least mile 6 or 7 IIRC.
2) I don't pause - I want to see the real time, including any stops.

I am not having this issue on my iPhone. I haven’t opened any Disney sites on my MacBook in a while, so I’m not sure about that.
When was the last time you closed Safari? Or restarted your device? I was having issues with my shortcuts a couple days ago - and closing Safari and reopening solved that issue. I don’t know why, but I always seem to leave Safari open.

I pause my watch manually for character stops.

However, for the half and the full, I will manually tracking my overall pace on a spreadsheet on my phone. My spreadsheet will also tell me the current approximate location of the balloon ladies based on their start time (I really like that Numbers on iOS can do time math, since I can barely do it reliably under normal circumstances, let alone when sleep-deprived and mid-run)
