Still no active confirmation for me. Weird

(For Acclaim Runners)Not sure if anyone else has done this but when you click on details link in the confirmation email, you sign in and says your not allowed to view details right? Well hit the back button and my race details show, that atleast works on my phone.

Thanks moose615. It worked on my phone too. I wasn't too worried about it since I figured that it just some quirk somewhere, but it's still nice to have complete reassurance.

Now to get my training on track. I'm getting some in weekly, but nowhere near enough. Need to get that corrected and soon.

Your welcome, I also have to get my training in gear, I'm about a month behind on my ToT training.

Ran a 10k this morning. Hoping a 45:31 will get me in corral A or at least B.

I'm nervous enough about starting back in D or E that I am tempted to find another 10k and try to race it between now and the deadline.

Omg this is ot to SW but your post reminded me that I have a 10k race tomorrow morning! Yikes. I forgot about it!

I am trying to rack up some miles by participating in races during the summer.

Since the corral systems seem to be adjusted all the time, this is just based on the last couple of Disneyland races' corrals, so don't take it as gospel truth. But your 45 min 10K would roughly translate into a 1:41 half by runDisney's system. For the Disneyland half that would be corral A, since A was everything under 1:58 and for Tinkerbell that would be an A corral because that was everything under 2:15. I don't know how the corrals may skew for this never-been-done-before race. But I'd say it's pretty certain you wouldn't be in D with that prrof of time

Sure, but I think I submitted a sub 2:00 as an expected time (in a previous race), and used a 2:03 or something as proof, and got put in D. I understand the need for a firm cutoff date and the inability to change corrals at the expo, but I wish you could actually find out what your corral was before the cutoff date, so that you could submit (or race) a better time.

I'm running the 10K for Team Muscle Makers for UCMD. Super excited because 2015 is my redemption year (I did the WDW Royal Family 5K... got a bad blister and could walk down the hallway let along 6.2 miles to start the Enchanted 10k). So 2015 is my year to step up to a new distance (I'm working my way toward doing a Half Marathon in 2016).... can't wait! I am a little nervous because I read about all the sweeping that was done at the Tinkerbell 10K... hopefully this was a fluke? I know I can keep pace. As much as I want character pictures I always pass them up in order to keep pace so I don't get swept on time. I'll be devastated if I do all of that and still get swept due to a glitch.

Can you guys all cross your fingers for me? Post op is tomorrow and I'm hoping for a good pathology report and to have my restrictions lifted. I did hop on the stationary bike in the gym at work today and got 5 miles out in about 26 minutes. Not bad for 10 days post surgery in my humble opinion! I spent half my lunch break on the bike and the other half creating a training schedule.
Thanks guys!

One more week off. Trying to not be too bummed. Pathology showed lots of chronic issues but nothing we didn't cure by taking it out.
Do you guys have thoughts on proof of time? I have one 10k I used for proof. I finished in 1:41 with my diseased gall bladder. I could try to get my first half in on 9/28 or I could do another 10k the weekend after. I can't decide if it's better to submit a terrible time on a half or go for a better 10k time. Since I am not running I am thinking about this WAY too much.
Either way I will do a local half on 11/16. Just to mentally know I can go the distance. I am so overthinking this aren't I? It'll be better when I am actually running again!

So glad to hear you are on the mend, and that you are anxious to get back to running!!
