Excitement is building!!!! I plan to pack my 'race gear' in my carry on so I don't have to worry about it. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone that I've gotten to know through this thread.

Be aware that you may lose the signal as we go through the costuming area in MGM - I lost it the first year, but not last year and my sister lost signal both years.

I love my Garmin. I call mine "Lars" and my sister calls hers "Sven" for the Swedish personal trainers we are going to get as soon as we win the lottery

 

[Pungodingy]

I just call mine "Garmy"

 

[twoWDWfools]

Ah yes, my Garmin....can't forget that! It's actually sitting next to my Road ID.

 

[runningjusme]

ok... im REALLY painfully shy and barely said a peep to anyone, but i finished it... all 9.44 miles according to my garmin. pace wasnt horrible, but i was pretty slow. 2:26:?? not too too bad.

how did you guys do?

 

[dsnyfan21]

Hey Christine, sounds like you did a good race!!
My Garmin said I did 9.45 miles, ha. My official chip time was 2hour10min and 54sec. I enjoyed the race and the amount of miles, not too long and not too short.

My dad and I finished (with a potty break!!) with a time of 2:13:??. I was very happy--I didn't train and it was my first race!!
I wanted to say thanks to all of the WISHers! I wasn't wearing a WISH shirt, but I thought it was really cool how when you saw each other the energy was so high!! Kudos! Also, I'm really appreciative to the WISHer who wore the speakers playing 'What Time is It?' I was the girl in the pink dancing!!
