How strange, I just checked & yep it's there. Do TA's ever give bibs back to RunDisney?
I'm back from my cruise. Got back late last night. We were originally supposed to get in around 9:20 pm, but our first flight was delayed almost 3 hours which caused us to miss our connection. But fortunately there was another small commuter flight a couple hours later that we were able to get on so we made it home around 12:30 am. We had an absolutely amazing time and cannot wait to sail with Disney again someday. The ship had so many fun activities going on and Alaska was beautiful (other than being cloudy and rainy the whole time, but hey, that's Alaska and we got the true experience!). But as expected, I didn't get any runs in and feel totally out of whack now. I didn't do a run today since I'm so exhausted, but hopefully tomorrow or Thursday. I need to get back at it as soon as possible. I have a 10K down in Chicago next weekend.
PoT... there's no way rD or TrackShack is checking every PoT. No way. But I think they do spot-check, so...
1. if you enter an estimated finish less than 2:45:00, you need to include PoT and it's probably a really good idea to use a PoT as close to that expected finish time as possible. But I'd guess it's more important to just have something in there. (I can see using an algorithm that searches for <2:45:00 estimated finish but nothing entered in PoT and sorts all of those into the pile for back corrals.)
2. if you enter an estimated finish over 2:45:00, and you have a PoT to back up whatever time you enter, include it and grab a screen shot of it all: the estimated finish time you selected and PoT. If nothing else, if you get placed in a totally wrong corral, you'll have something to show Runner Relations at the expo.
3. I think some will fudge it and enter 2:45:00 when they know their pace is more like a 3:30:00 finish, but I truly think it's a small number that does that and most will enter honestly, which will spread things out.
That's my best guess on things until we see a race under the new system and see how it all pans out. Alas, the DLH will be the first and its systems never really parallel WDW's, anyway, so... yeah. W&D will be the first test. Bummer.
My half marathon weekend POT is actually 2:49. (I think I had a 3:00 at PHM a couple years back and got them confused?). So I'd be in probably the exact same corral as the 2:45's anyways! I will actually run under 2 1/2 hours so I entered that 2:49 and chose the 2:40 estimation, just to be safe. I didn't want my estimated and proof to be too different and throw any shock waves through the system!
I gave up: whatever it is it is going forward, lol!
Thanks @PrincessV! That all completely makes sense.
Also, I am a goof.
ETA - At Dark Side I dropped back to run with a friend who didn't have a POT to submit and saw the balloon ladies for the very first time (who get MAJOR points for having death star balloons, btw). We love SW so stopped for a lot of photos and hated being rushed, so I want to get a good POT going for Dark Side 2017! I like the spirit of W&D, but am hoping to run more than photo stop this time to get a decent one, so my biggest concern is just getting as far ahead of the bottleneck as possible!
Holiday 5K medal...and it's metal! And adorable!
Oops I totally meant fitted too. I suppose cotton would still be fine, but yes women's cut/ fitted!I just want women's cut shirts for the 5Ks.
, woohoo
It is sooo cute! I wish I could have it. I hope the 10K and Lumiere Challenge medals are just as nice. The 10K medal needs to have Remy on it. I am getting so anxious to see them. I think getting a reveal would get me re-motivated to get out there, but I'm not expecting to see them anytime soon.Holiday 5K medal...and it's metal! And adorable!
