Official inaugural Tower of Terror 10 miler thread. September 29, 2012

[Cripey]

Just looked up and printed our waivers! 2191 and 2192!!

What emails have been going out from RunDisney? I've gotten diddly-squat...

I haven't either...it's hit or miss with me for each runDisney race I do, using the same email address, whether or not I actually get the emails. I think there have been 2 so far that have gone out in the past months and the final one should be going out any day now I would think. Once they do go out though, all of the info in it (final race instructions, waiver links, etc.) can also be found on the race website. I think the only thing you can't get on the race website is the link to the "i-gift bag" that's included in the email. I could be wrong about that though, not sure...anyone else know?

I'm still trying to decide on a costume, both character and WHAT to wear.

What are you wearing?

Shorts, capris, pants?

Tank top, shirt, long sleeve or short sleeve?

Planning for cold?

I have been in Disney in Sept/Oct and most nights it's been comfortable, so I think I am going for running shorts. If I decide to add a tutu, I might switch to a tighter fitting short. I'm just not sure.

I WISH we could plan for cold! I'll be wearing my usual compression shorts with a black Team Sparkle skirt over them. As long as I can find the one I need, I'll be wearing a sleeveless tank on top...just need to find a black one this weekend to iron on my transfer that I ordered earlier this week. I bought a pair of knee socks that I'm still debating on wearing...I only bought them because they go with my theme, but we'll see. They might get too hot for me and I'll have to ditch them. I'll have to remember to stuff an extra pair of running socks in my fuel belt in case that happens.

At the moment it's going to be Ursula for me. But I've changed my mind 4 times already. I've ordered a purple sparkle skirt to be worn over biker shorts with a black tech t. Also ordered a bondiband in white and one in silver to emulate the hair. I'll see which I like best when they come in. Haven't figured out the tentacles yet as its uber important that the costume not slow me down. Wish I could figure out either a light up or glow in the dark feature.

Where is everyone getting their bib number?

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Nevermind, I found it. Also looks like my BF registered twice...great. I hope I can get a refund for one of those...

I just ordered a Sparkle Tech Purple Sparkley Skirt that I will wear with a black dri fit tshirt and my BRIGHT running shoes. It's going to be warm.. I just hope its not as humid as it is during the day.

I'm going as Maleficent, so I'll be wearing a black/purple tank, black running skirt, purple shoes and...the headpiece!

I'm not doing the green skin, but I wanna do some eye makeup and red lips. I picked up some waterproof Revlon eye colors and eyeliner, but not sure what to use on my lips. Any suggestions for lip color that will stay through 10 miles?

Funny you should ask that. I just read that MAC Russian Red lipstick will work:

[annmarieda]

Got my waiver, bib 4611. I need to get my 10K time in - does anyone know if it's worth emailing runDisney now to try and do that, or just bring the time with me? What kind of proof of time do they need (I have a printout of the finish times by name from the 10K).

Can you tell I'm such a newbie? The 10K was my first race *ever,* and this is my first runDisney anything.

I was told in an email from disneysports that even showing the race results on your phone would work...print out.. etc. To quote the email exactly..

"Please bring a print-out of your race proof or be able to show us your race results on your phone, etc. at the Expo. Please bring your race results to Runner Relations for corral updates after you have picked up your race packets."

What type of compression shorts do you use? I have a pair of Under Armour and they ride up a little bit. I would love to find a pair that isn't too short and will stay where they belong.

Another idea beside the MAC lipstick would be to look for a lip ink/stain. Maybelline used to make one I think. It had two ends...one with the lip stain and one with the gloss to go on top. The directions said to apply the stain and wait 2 mins for it to dry. Avon used to sell some also. They generally stay a long time.

Thanks for the replies about costumes. I am still trying to figure out what I am doing. It will have purple in it, since I always run with purple and my shoes are purple and black. I'm playing around with glow in the dark/light up ideas, but am not sure how feasible it is for 10 miles and heat!

Who wants to teach me how to post everyone's reply when I answer? I see others do it and that is one thing I have never learned.

This is my first big run where the start is separating into corrals, I am officially confused ? I run about a 10mm and stated as such on my entry with anticipated finish time and race result supporting finish.My Bib number is 5228 which I thought seemed kind of high.
Is this number placing me in corral C correct or I am just not understanding how this all works.

Thanks

I wear Nike compression shorts...it's the only brand I've found that fits me right....I don't find that they ride up and the length is good on me...but I have really short legs so they'd be a little shorter on others. I'm actually headed to the outlet mall this weekend to see if I can score a couple of new pair at the Nike store

Did you give proof of time? That is, your record from an "officially" timed race. I ask because I have a lower corral number and I'm a slower runner...
