Official 2013 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Thread

Does anyone know if there is a clothing drop off (to leave sweats or coats before the race) and, if so, where is that located in relation to the start?

Back in room after expo and DTD browsing only to realize they gave me the wrong size shirt . Guess ill have to swing by tomorrow to try to exchange. I like them MUCH better than last year's though, so hopefully I can get my size. Was not all that impressed with the official merch though...picked up a shirt and magnet. Why have the race hats been soooo cheap and crummy? The ones I have from PHM and DL 2011 are really nice hats, but all the ones after that are horrible...cheap and flimsy...I was hoping they would be better this time. Oh we'll, saved me some $$ . Picked up some pink Nike double layer socks at the lady footlocker booth. Normally $14, on sale for $9 if anyone likes those. Only the pink ones were on sale though, not sure why. Looked like there were still Dooney's for sale behind the registers if anyone was interested.

ETA: Loving that the mesh backpacks are back in the 'goody bag'!!! I still have my PHM one...hoping ill get another one next month too!

What do the shirts look like? I like last years, I don't run it it, just wear it like a normal shirt. Lol. And backpacks? Cool!

The weather here is awesome coming from 25 at home.

Might go to Expo again to look today. Think I need a different shirt

 

[Leskash75]

Staying at Stovall. Does anyone know the best way to get to race start in am and DLR the other days?

 

[Cripey]

We're in line for the shoes this AM. Got here maybe around 6:15 and there was already a growing line...I think we have a decent chance though...fingers crossed!

Thanks! We got vouchers and we have until 3pm to go claim the shoes. So we came over to ride radiator springs racers...which we are currently in line for but they are having problems and haven't let anyone on yet...actually I think it just opened, everyone is cheering! Yay

I hit the expo yesterday and it wasn't too crowded at all. Big difference from last weekend at wdw, where I was getting claustrophobic. Picked up a hanger just for my goofy adventure and tink medals. Sport hooks FTW! they had some nice "Disney inspired" ones and I could have bought a few because they looked so nice. I will probably walk back over to the expo later this morning.
And what a difference in the weather between last weekend in florida and this. One week ago, 10000% humidity. This weekend 0%. I think my nose is going to crack and fall off.

I lucked out and got a pair!! Went at 2pm to check and they were forming a line for those shoes remaining. I didn't think I was going to get a pair!!

Congrats! Me too! My BF got a size 10.5 voucher this am but didn't end up buying them...thinks he needs an 11 so we're gonna try again for his pair next month at Princess expo. I wore mine to dinner tonight and they are actually pretty comfy!

Trying to get to sleep, wishing everyone a great fast race! I hoping to see lots of characters. Weather has been wonderful and looks the same for tomorrow, sure beats the 30s back home

 

[bskelly07]

[Leskash75]

Im trying to work out my exact time. I was in Coral C. Does anyone know exactly when the personal clock started? Would it be when Coral c was initially off? Or would it be when I personally crossed over the start line. Also where exactly was the start line? Was it by where that stage was with the announcers on it?
