Back door's open, Princesses! No bib #'s but the generic waiver's there...

Ding, Ding, V! Thx for the update! It's a start

 

[PrincessV]

Not that I've been, y'know, stalking the back end or anything...

Wait where is it?

OK we have some peeps on here who saved their waiver email from runDisney last year and it was Feb 7.

Next question - when were the final race instructions sent? Do they come first or after? The website still says they will be sent approx one month before the race.

Last question - it seemed like the Rapunzel theme was well known way in advance last year. Is it weird that we don't even know what princess is being featured this year? Did I somehow miss this info?

I think it's Jasmine. Check out the back door waiver. Check out all the RunDisney ads. Seems like we are going to Agrabah!

Yay! Cuz I'm Jasmine this year!

I also don't know the back door of which you speak. Where is this, please?

Fine by me - coming off an inury (or training through it, more bluntly) I could use a magic carpet ride!

Look like their coding is wonky. Checked out the index file directory, which provided a link to the PDF of the waiver here: http://www.trackshack.com/disneysports/w13pr/2013%20Princess%20Waiver.pdf

 

[longhorns2]

Right. It's not active yet. Should be in a couple of days. A submit button will appear when it's live.

thank you!

 

[niclodn]

Yay! Hopefully we'll have waivers soon!

And now a question. I'm on the fence about running the 5K. Does anyone know if I can register for it at the expo on Friday if I decide to run? Provided there is still space of course.

If any Princess are still looking for a good mascara that won't leave them smudgy-eyed during the race, I just wrote about my experiences with Lise Watier.

My friend who is running with me called and was told that waivers should be out by the end of this week.

 

[AnotherPrincess]

What does "featured princess" mean? Where would she be featured if not at the 5k? I'm running as Jasmine.

Hey, y'all - GREAT deal on the GU sampler pack at www.guenergy.com. It's a mix of gels, chomps and electrolyte drink stuff. $46 worth, marked at $29.95 but if you use the code "GUFIRSTTIMER2013" in the promo code at checkout, each pack will be $14.95! I ordered 2; it appears to let you order as many as you want at that price. Shipping for 1 is $3.99; over that is $7.99 flat. Each pack should include the following:
•8 GU Original Gels
•6 Roctane Gels
•4 Chomps Single Serve packets
•2 Roctane Ultra Endurance Drink packets
•4 Electrolyte Tablets Single Serve packets
•1 Electrolyte Brew Pack
•1 Recovery Pack
It does have a disclaimer that it might not be *exactly* as described, but it should be close to this mix.

got some fun news today from my ortho about some knee pain i've been having. At best it got twisted during my surgery 3 weeks ago and i just need some cortisone, pain killers and some PT.... at worst I tore my meniscus and need surgery... but I started panicking, trying not to cry, explaining how i've trained 2 YEARS for this race... and i NEED TO DO IT, so he's putting a rush on all the tests haha i could've hugged the guy.

Ooh hope it isn't anything too bad. Glad he is rushing the tests for you!

I have my own ortho appointment tomorrow to have the old ankle looked at after the Tink. Hoping I don't hear anything bad or that I have been doing anything stupid (this is my first appointment to have the ankle properly looked at since the incident, should have probably have done this earlier but ah hindsight is 20-20)! Hopefully will also get a time frame for the molds I need badly. If I can't get them pre-Tink I will probably end up at the orthodics store with a frankenstein shoe again. The old soles aren't going to get me through another race. Need a new one before Princess custom or not!

Some of y'all saw this on facebook already, but I think I've got my costume complete now.
