Official 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon Thread - Take 2

Rundisney Mom says 26,000 runners in the PHM. OMG

Oh my! Does everyone think that will amount to more corrals and more people per corral?

Even if you say 24k an 3k per corral that would mean 8 corrals. But if you say 26k and 2500 per corral there would have to be 10 corrals

Hooray for my costume!!!!

That is awesome!

Hiyo! I am so sick it's insane. Today was actually the worst day yet so it can only get better from here right?!?! Please?!?!? Haha. I'm 9w5d today. Praying to the gods and goddesses I feel better soon. DH hurt his knee at work, smashed with a a hammer, so he hasn't run in a week. He should be back up soon. He's one of those that could rarely run and kill a half marathon lol.

Have you tried Vitamin B6 supplements? I was really sick with my second child and my midwife suggested it. I was losing weight into my second trimester because I was so sick, but the B6 helped a ton!

Every time I would see you sign your name, I'd jump a little then go...oh, yeah, here I'm Sherekhan! Maybe I should write it on my arm or something so other Disboard Princesses can say hi?



Hi Cindy! LOL. I just made a donation.

Bib #4362 here!

Since this is all so real now, I'm trying to think out the logistics of my run. First off, I won't have any pockets and would like to be able to have my husband hand me off a GU Gel on Main St...anyone know if this is going to be possible or are the spectators right up next to the runners on the side of the race course?

Second, I saw on prior years' race maps that there's a food station between miles 8 and 9. Can anyone enlighten me as to what exactly may be offered? Is it all real food or will they have gels, chomps, etc?

On main st. as we are running toward the castle, specators will be lining the left side of the street. If he knows about when you are approaching you should be able to get something. Usaully gels at mile 9. there could be more details on exact product at expo. In the past, it has been gels and volunteers handing out and yelling the flavor.

My DD and I are 8505 and 8506. That should put us around D I hope.

In order for the to have 8 corrals they would have to have 3250 runners per corral. Which would shift everyone's placement. Curious to see how many runners per corral there are.

So do you speculate more corrals?

 

[Princess Sleepy]

I'm bib #2152. Anyone know what that means corral-wise?

ETA: Oh wait, I see a PP is speculating 3000 runners per corral. Does that mean I am in A? How the heck did that happen? This is my 1st HM and I consider myself an average runner.

 

[StarGirl11]

Would make more sense. Since keeping 8 corrals would end up mixing slower runners with faster runners. I guess the best answer is to look at what they did for the WDW full this since that probably had more runners than normal. Whatever they did there they will likely do here.

I have no real experience.. But it would see like any way you look at it.. With a bib number that low you would have to be in A... Unless there is only 2k per group... Then I would guess b

Just curious... What kind of time did you submit? (If you don't mind me asking)

No! Thank you! I take a ton of natural supps but not specifically B6. I will speak with my midwife and try that! I will also see how much B6 is in my prenatals. Thanks again!

I did a 10 mile in October with a finish time of 1:38:44. Finished middle of the pack.

 

[MeyersDVM]

Where are you getting your bib numbers and waivers? I can't find anything on the RunDisney site nor have I gotten an email. Not waiting very patiently

I just ran the numbers again. In order to have the same number of corrals per they would have to add a corral and a half. So I'm thinking its more likely they are going to a) expand the corrals to accommodate another 500 runners or b) add more corrals. Somehow I have a feeling that they will probably go option a and not go through the trouble of making more corral signs than add two more corrals.

You're welcome! Hope it helps and you are feeling better soon. The all day sickness is tough!

Oops! I quoted the wrong post, but you know what I mean.

Thanks for sharing! So you had a pace of 9 something min per?

I am a neurotic.. Corral placement watcher. I know I shouldn't be. I should just have fun with whatever. However I now run faster than I did. The time that I submitted is as much as a minute slower per mile than I currently run. It makes me wonder if I should submit a new time....

 

[Mamasmurf227]

Someone over on the FB group just posted that she got an e-mail reply from someone at trackshack confirming that there were still 8 corals. She said she has a bib 10--- and was confirmed as being in coral D.

Just more to speculate about.
