Official WDW Marathon Weekend 2013 Thread-Part 2

[BernardandMissBianca]

OK so I'm mostly mentally recovered today. I can't leave an unfinished marathon over my head so I have decided that I'm going to do Goofy in 2015! I'm not ready to face it again in 2014 so 2015 it is. That gives me time to get to my goal weight, get in much better shape and be more mentally prepared for all contingencies (heat, cold, etc.) I WILL FINISH!

WOOHOO!!!
you will do it!

We were at MK today and wife was commenting on no crowd. "We will have to remember this for next year when Daddy does Goofy."

I guess she made the decision for me!

On this note, is it too early to start the Official 2015 WDW Marathon Weekend - Goofy Challenge Thread? I'm eager to get started!

Ok marathoners, please have your families keep an eye on you. We had a very scary incident on our shuttle bus where one guy became unresponsive and we had to pull over and wait for the paramedics. Once he came back, he said he felt fine but was still very pale. The fire dept took him to the hospital.

That might have been our same bus. We were headed to Shades of Green and a runner passed out on the bus. I felt so bad for his poor wife. She was so panicked for a few seconds. I was so thankful he was okay.

I'm also an official marathoner! The heat was a killer and it certainly took me much longer than I had hoped (7:08), but I did it. I agree with most of you that the WWoS loop was the beginning of the difficulty for me. Felt good still heading in there, but by the time we got to mile 20, the heat was really taking a toll. We stopped to try and get a picture with Mickey and company, but after a few seconds I got light headed so we moved on. At mile 22, we stopped again to take a picture of the mile marker and I started getting black tunnel vision. YIKES. My DH got me over to the shade and thankfully a med tent was close by so he got me some ice. The ice eventually got me cooled enough that the faintness passed. Still the last few miles were tough, but I finished!!! We went back to the hotel and showered, changed and headed back out to Epcot and the Biergarten. I figured if I sat down at that point I'd never get back up again. LOL. I got a great shot at the castle that I'm happy with and will go in my officially framed marathon stuff, but also can't find any finish line pics yet. Oh well. Not sure I'll ever do that again, but I gotta admit those Goofy medals were awfully appealing. Congrats to all the participants!!

I see the provisional extra photos, but I'm not in any of them.

Me neither and I don't see any finish line pictures. I sent them an email.

 

[rocio]

Don't have that link on the My Photos page. I've looked and looked. I know I'm not crazy. Tired, but not crazy.

You're not crazy. As far as I can tell, that button is only there if they have found any pictures that they think might be you. I had two in there, but neither was of me. So I removed them and the button disappeared. I read the email again and they said they are still adding pictures. I haven't seen one single picture of people crossing the finish line as I search through unidentified female pictures (over 1000 pages...I just got to page 160) so I'm guessing they haven't loaded those. I hope they didn't lose them or something horrible like that.

How far did you have to run off course to get to that McDonalds? It looked a long way away.

It was only about .4 of a mile total.

I clicked on that and it said no video available. I hope this is all because they're still uploading. I liked last years setup better.

Okay, I give. Where are the results posted?

 

[ZellyB]

I just went back to check again and I now have some finish line pictures that weren't there before, so they are definitely still loading pictures.

 

[steves1019]

I was in exactly your same boat for the 2011 half. I HATED running, my knees hurt and everything about it seemed miserable. My 13th wedding anniversary was in Jan just a couple days before the half so I decided it would be fun to celebrate with a half marathon. The training was hard and so was the race. When I finished it and walked around the park I couldn't help but be envious of the people with the Goofy and Mickey medals. In the back of my mind I saw those people and thought, if they can do it I should be able to also. I had the same desire to push myself that you have and that propelled me to sign up for Goofy the next year. And this year I did Dopey. You can do it, and there is an incredible feeling of accomplishment when you do.

Don't encourage me! Lol

I finally have one. But I am behind someone else shaking hands with Donald. I am confident there are still more.

Thanks!

I see three finish line pictures now.

 

[kmg148]

It looks like I have all my finish line photos now too, so don't lose hope. I only had one during the Princess (and it was kind of meh..I wasn't thinking about it!) and this time I had about 5!
