Sure! I should clarify that by "earlier corral" I really meant Corral C-ish, as opposed to Corral E
I put down a time of 2:46, which doesn't require proof (and at the time, I was training hard and this was very easily feasible). I also signed up for the race early. Corral A definitely requires proof of time, Corral B probably does as well - but it looks like for C and later, it was probably based on a combination of when you signed up for the race and if you put down a time at all. I've heard in the past that if you don't put down a time, or if you put down a time under 2:45 but never put proof, you get put in the back. Who knows? But to provide possible backup to this theory, my waiver number is 4765, my dad (who signed up at the same time as me with the same time information) is 4764, and my husband (who signed up 4 months later than me with the same timing information but who actually will finish in 2:45) is 7917.
We'll probably end up doing it in his corral anyway so we can all stick together. Plus now that I know for sure that I'm walking the whole thing, I don't want to be in other people's way - not that I wouldn't be in later corrals too, since obviously there are runners in those corrals as well!
It is definitely hard work, kudos to your son! And now you'll get some awesome discounts with him!
The weather forecast looks great to me! I've been expecting the start would be low to mid 80's so every degree below that helps!
