Is there anything wrong with being in the last corral?
Just gives you less time for bathroom and picture breaks.
But if you entered an estimate that wasn’t the longest possible finish time, I doubt you’ll be in the last corral.
If you did put that but now you are faster, you can update that estimate through your rundisney account. Just don’t enter a time that requires proof of time, if you don’t have that.
Then they didn't post anything at the race past the 1:12 time. The lady said they were having some "timing" issues.
UGH.
Did they take pictures on the course? If so, enough to catch you at the beginning and end? I once disputed a time that Disney itself had for my son, and the course pictures helped. (I will say clearly that this was for his Mickey Mile, which I only requested because he knew his time and it he was not appreciative that they had it wrong, and it’s entirely possible they only humored me because it meant absolutely nothing to anyone but him)
Might be worth a try with rundisney, if there are enough photos of you on the course and finish line that can show that their chip was wrong.
If so, what time should we plan to leave the hotel on race morning?
Disgustingly early for this pacific coast person.
if you have a watch/app that can monitor your time and/or pace, keep an eye on that as well.
But do NOT pause it!!! If you currently pause your watch for the bathroom, stoplights, etc, stop now. Get out of that habit. Trust me.
I am usually walking out of my room at 3:15 for a 5:30 star
Sounds about right.
