Training shirts!

Cute shirt but it pushed me into the jacket after seeing the price of the tech shirt

Does anyone think registration will last longer that it did for AP and DVC members last week? I got on at 11:03 central and everything was on hold. I plan to be on the ball today, but I hope the races last at least 5 min this time? Anyone with past experience registering want to chime in and make me feel better? My goal is to register for the 10k first then get on board the 5k.

Training shirts are cute, but I'm a little disappointed that they all look pretty similar - was hoping for a Lumiere/Remy in there.

Good luck to everyone registering today. Wishing you all speedy finger skills today!

It looks like you can register now, if you want to participate via the Catch A Lift charity partner.

It was our experience last year, signing up on general public day, that it did last longer than AP and DVC. That being said, the major changes to the weekend events (adding 10k and challenge), and time (day 1/2 marathon) introduce variables that make me think of the financial disclaimer: "past performance is not indicative of future results".

About an hour to go! Time to go do some laundry.

So frustrating they assume larger folks arnt training for the races as shirts (even the 5k) only go up to 2x.. My husband likes 3x tech so they arnt skin tight..

Well- one plan I had may not work so well. I was going to have 2 internet sessions going on the home pc: one logged into my Active account; one logged into DW's account. Just tried to do it now, and when I start the second session, it has me already logged in. When I log out of that session (#2) to log in DW, it logs me out of my session (#1).

Training shirts look real neat. Not going near them though, until we get officially registered.

I looked back at the 2015 thread, and found registration day. I posted at 12:19 (put the time in my post) that the ticker had registration at 50% full for the 1/2 at that time. It sounds like the % full tickers are a thing of the past now. Once anybody hits Hold or Sold Out, can they post the time in a post here, for future reference?

Best wishes to all. As one who works in health care, I took today as a day off, to make sure I could try to register us.

You should be able to use 2 different browsers, like chrome and Firefox. Or do chrome incognito or private browsing. It can be done because I've done it with email and other things this way.

Funny I have an international conference call starting at 11:45am today. What are the chances that all of us have a meeting today?

Good luck this afternoon. may you get registered for the race(s) you want and may the odds ever be in our favor!!!

I don't currently have anything scheduled to conflict with registration, but I'm trying to keep my head down so that no one pulls me into a discussion.

After not being able to register right at noon on early registration day I'm very nervous about getting my mom and I registered for the challenge and the 10k!

I'm with you. Positive thoughts!

Yes. DVc/AP registration is only about 5-10% of the spots that are actually available for each event.

Training shirts are cute, but I'm a little disappointed that they all look pretty similar - was hoping for a Lumiere/Remy in there.

Good luck to everyone registering today. Wishing you all speedy finger skills today!

Yeah, I thought the same thing about the shirts - they didn't even put the full name of the challenge on the challenge shirt.

URGH!! SO STRESSED!! Tinkerbell was not like this at all!

Aren't there even still spots for Tink available?

Yep, the half still has spots!

I'm glad I am not the only one who found that slightly odd....

Like...I appreciated that they used a wine corkscrew as the "T" in "Training," but yeah...

I definitely wish Lumiere was on the Challenge shirt. But, at least they have training shirts this year. I can remember being pretty upset last year when they started doing the training shirts but there wasn't one available for Wine & Dine.
