Race for the Taste 10K...list updated 10/7

[PooksMom]

My mother just came home from Florida and said it was 90 degrees...I think I'll be trotting more than running... Am I allowed to do that, walk, run, jog, crawl, whatever it takes! You would like to think I would have trained more outside in the Boston humidity, but no...I was on my air conditioned treadmill while my kids slept or watched Scooby Doo.

Yes, still in the 90's during the day. We have cooled down from the low 70's to the high 60's at night! Unless something crazy happens in the next week and 1/2, bring your shorts and tanks to run in!

The morning should still be pretty temperate (low 70s?) though, no?

Gosh, I can't believe it's so close. I'm not nervous, I'm not excited, I think I am just in a state of denial

The morning should be in the upper 60's/low 70's. Alot though depends on the humidity. Some mornings, you feel a cool breeze and other mornings you hit the wall of humidity as you walk out the front door.

I'm so excited, but with the amount of food and wine I'm partaking in I may be crawling over the finish line.

Well based on your review of the Party For the Senses I am no longer worried about "over indulging" (You are nicer then I am, if I was that disappointed with my first one I would probably go at least ask for refunds going forward LOL! I am hoping they get better! I got Disney to refund me a few years ago for a Wine and Cheese where the leaders "knowledge" of the wine was that they read the label. I was very nice, but the CM did agree that this was not what was advertised )

I will definitely let Disney know (via e-mail) our thoughts of the last PFTS but DH and I will attend the next one hoping that it will be more of the caliber of in years past. If this next one doesn't meet our expectations, we may consider cancelling our last one.
I remember other people talking about the Cheese and Wine event you mentioned, they too were very disappointed in it. I heard that they improved them after having so many complaints.
Perhaps we'll see you Sat. evening and then Sun. bright and early for the race.

I'm also very excited for the Bling! I plan to make it over for packet pickup sometime on Friday just because I can't stand to wait another day.

 

[PooksMom]

I am picking up my packet on Friday morning when we fly in. I am so excited!!! I was feeling lame about the whole thing the past few days, (overtraining) I bumped into a mom at my daughters school and started chatting about running, she is running her first marathon next weekend in Chicago. It bumped up my spirits, if she can push through a marathon, I can push throught his in the heat. I am such a heat wuss.

I went to the PFTS a couple of years ago and was disappointed by the food. The cirque athletes were great and so was dessert. The food was just ok. I have lots of dinner and lunch ressies with my aunt, we originally booked this trip to eat around the world. What's the Bling?

 

[dreamydis]

And yet another late arrival to the thread...
DH and I will be running RFTT. We can't wait and are very excited. This is our first time running this event. Both of us are also training for Disney's Marathon. And yes, the weather is quite warm here in Celebration, FL and will continue to be on Sunday. Drink plenty of water Friday and Saturday, and then plenty of beer/wine on Sunday.

What's the Bling?

BLING is the medal you get at the end.

I'd love a whole wall of BLING!!!

 

[thndrmatt]

What a difference a few days makes in Orlando!

Fri Forecast High 87 RealFeel 105
Sat Forecast High 87 RealFeel 97
Sun Forecast High 86 RealFeel 87

Lookin good for the races!

Note: the RealFeel factors in humidity, which should be 100% at race start on both days, doh!

 

[CarolA]

I did a couple of miles in Florida at 7 am this morning.

Humid does not begin to describe it.

As I was afraid, my legs have NOT recovered from my 11 mile training run last weekend. They are SCREAMING tonight after just two miles.

This could be a VERY long 6 miles! YIKES!

I will finish before the sweeper however!

See you at the start!

 

[maroo]

Ok!! So...Uh....

How did it go, guys? I think I might want to do this race in 09? But wondering how it went in 08?
