looks like only for disney world races right now though. Looks like from the sound of it.. Tink will still be marathonfoto

Marathonfoto has perfected the art of shooting up at you and making you have "fat face" or "tired/gross face" while running. All of my race photos (whether RunDisney or RNR) have these poses! The only ones I like of me are when I'm posing with the medal at the end.

Bring on the Photopass photographers.

I asked about Tink yesterday when I called about Darkside and they put me on hold to check and when he came back he said he was pretty sure they were taking over DL too they just hadn't announced it yet.

I have a pic from my last half where I look like a tired blob about to fall over. It's funny and aweful at the same time. I think it's safe to say runners aren't actually all that sexy haha.


Side note I have all the reservations I wanted made!!!

Can anyone tell me if there was a pre order jacket?
I have checked on RD Tink Web site don't see purses either.

 

[dec2009mama]

@kelly 1 -- there were pre order jackets but now they are sold out! I have been waiting for the release of D&B for Tink but nothing yet....

 

[dec2009mama]

i got all dining reservations I wanted for Sat and Sun night!!!
I hope that if the photos do move to photopass staff that the PP+ voucher I have (from before they shut down pre-sale) will work to get the race photos as well!

@dec2009mama I'm so glad you posted about ADRs! Just grabbed my last one for Sunday evening. I know ADRs aren't as big a thing at Disneyland compared to WDW, but I wish they could all be made at once for the entire trip. Oh well!

Just locked in our dining reservations for race day.

Tinks the window is open...don't forget to call.

For all those waiting or forgot to book reservations for meals race weekend, i would reserve as soon as possible. The prime times for restaurants like Napa Rose on Saturday night are starting to disappear. also for sunday morning, remember its mother's day. So not only are you competing with runners, you are also getting local families celebrating mothers day brunch.

@Warm Hugs Brings up a good point. I had to tell friends to SKIP Mother's Day Tea at the Disneyland Hotel because of the race weekend. They're not fans of crowds so they would have been in for a big shock seeing all the half marathoners coming towards the hotel area as they approached the restaurant


We scheduled a post-10K run breakfast at Steakhouse 55 for 8:50am. I figure if the race starts at 530, we may not start until 6 or 615 (the avengers 5K was delayed until a 6am start time) and then 90 minutes to run. Plenty of time to recover and relax before heading into breakfast.

Finished making ADRs for our girl trip this morning! Only things I'm waiting for are World of Color Dessert Party and Paint the Night dinner packages to open up, as well as a return call confirming Napa Rose Chef's Counter.

Yay!

Are we planning a meet up? I know it early just getting ducks in a row!
I'm still crocked up from Princess calf is torn and Achilles small tear. I have been going for injections and dry needling therapy. They have asked me to cancel Tink, I told them not an option. I want that pink C2C! Princess was not my best run in fact terrible for me but I got it done. I expect Tink will be along the same lines. Just got the OK to do a light run on Friday. Since princess I have been on the couch resting my leg, evaluation ,heat, ice,and compression. Must look forward to the positives. Making plans and lots of rest when I get DL. I guess the pool and lounge chair for me! After our run Sunday being picked up by a private car and going to the cruise ship terminal. Floating home to Vancouver 3 days how perfect!

Well, I made a hotel reservation today and have been looking at flights.
Got confirmation from trackshack that the input for finishing time on the active site will be reviewed for corral placement.
Still need to register if etc etc if i am going to do this.
Any enablers out there that want to encourage me?

I DID it! I signed up..still need to book flights. My DD is coming too. This is going to be a mother /daughter trip before she makes me a grandmother for the first time..so she is not running!

How do they know if you are Coast-to-Coast?
I ran the PHM last month.

Funny fact..I got my first CTC at the DL Half 5th anniversary

CRAP
I just realized that when I registered for the Challenge through a TA bib (was originally half only) there was NO place to put that I was C2C. It didnt' ask me. I remember when I registered for the half (at least I think I do, that was a long time ago) that it asked.

Did I just shoot myself in the foot with this? Do I call or do they know if it's C2C???

Coast to Coast is automatic. When you pick up your packet and sign for your bib, there will be a line that you need to initial and they will give you a wristband. If it is not there, don't worry. Just go to the runner relations booth and they will look it up and give you a wristband. Piece of cake!
