Minnie 15K questions

[TnTsParty]

Well I guess that is good that I am signed up for the darn last Minnie 15k - I will be especially proud when I get that medal. I like the idea of a 1/2 at that time of the year.

I' thinking of doing the 15K but wondering if you guys were dying of heat last year??? I don't normally run outside much in May as it gets pretty warm. Anyone remember what it was like last year at the event??

Kelly,

I wasn't there--but here's what Weather Underground has for data on May 6, 2007. Looks like it hit 75 by 9 am.

Here's hoping it's not too bad. I'll be doing the 15k--my first race ever and can use all the help I can get--even from the weather!

To those of you who had done the Minne before, which resorts did you stay at? I understand that transportation will not be provided to the race area.

It really wasn't as bad as you would think. Don't get me wrong it was warm but it does start early in the morning. I honestly don't think it was that much hotter than RFTT was in October. It is right in the beginning of May right before its starts be 80 degrees at 8 am

Hope this helps, I know it's not really specific. If it helps, I sweat really easily and really don't handle heat well and I majorly PR'd that race.

Thinking of doing the Minnie Marathon 5K at Epcot (or even the 15K) this May but planning to stay at SSR if possible (too bad it's not @ DTD-that would make it easy), but since it's at Epcot I'd have to drive. How much time would you allow for waiting to get in, park and get to the starting line? Thanks!

If there's a code or discount, I'll go for BC - otherwise I'll stay at a moderate like CBR.

Of course this all depends on what happens with the race. I'm really hoping they don't cancel.

Did someone hear something about the 2008 Minnie being canceled? I haven't and I am signed up for it so I am still hoping its a sure thing.

If it's not cancelled, I'm a Beach Club girl Of course, that would require a decent AP discount-otherwise, it's a moderate for me....

I hope it's not cancelled!

We will probably be staying at Music. We will be at AKV the week before and are leaving on Friday morning to save on points and such.

Kelly, I did the 15K last year. I train in no humidity so I was concerned. But, it wasn't that hot and I didn't have any trouble with it. It starts pretty early in the morning, so that helps. I did carry a washcloth to wipe down when I needed it. I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. HTH!
