Ladies: what did u decide to wear? Tanks/shorts? Capri tights/tees? I'm taking both options just in case.

I'm wearing shorts and a tank. Probably compression socks, since they seem to help my Achilles.

Tank and capri tights. Might add calf compression sleeves.

ETA: PANIC ATTACK CITY. I can't believe the race will be halfway done in two days time.

Oh, I like it hot and humid! Capri's, tank and a tshirt!

Question: can I pick up the after party tickets for my family or do they need to pick up the tix themselves? And can I pick them up tomorrow, I thought I read somewhere the tickets had to be picked up today?? I was planning on doing the expo tomorrow but I can go today if I have to.

It's going to be warm - wearing as little as possible - jog bra and shorts! Wish we could have has a cool front!

Expo day!

Found out I am definitely running solo. I will have a purple shirt with a big pink Mickey head at the bottom. Corral I - I think. I run a 10:30/11 minute pace. So I might run next to you for a few miles

I thought we had a front. It feels 'drier' this morning. Well kind of.

Looks like the race is on the wrong weekend for a nice weather run. Last weekend and next would have had temps in the 50's.

I'm wearing a tank and shorts definitely! I could feel the humidity last night versus what I've been used to up north lately. Hopefully that will not mess me up too badly but I'm thinking it probably will. Maybe it will be the time I finally get that darth vader pic after all. I just hope the wind does down by tomorrow night as its supposed to very windy today!

Yes, you should be able to pick up their tickets, I THINK. I know it was in a different location last year, not inside either part for the runners. I'm going today and will ask for you when we pick up DHs. You can get tomorrow's after party tickets tomorrow- it's the pre race taste party tickets that you would need today. As well as any kids race bibs.

If runDisney was truly magical, I would be able to wear a jog bra and shorts too. That is like a secret dream of mine! Maybe someday!

News channel 13 last night said front wasn't going to bring temps down too much / but maybe winds back from earlier this week.

Anyone at the expo already? Haven't headed out to it yet. How are the crowds?

 

[peachygreen]

I know I'm from Houston, but temps in the upper 60's sound pretty much perfect to me. Am I looking at the wrong forecast?

 

[peachygreen]

At the Houston airport waiting for my flight. I'm on my way. :-D. I'm so excited.

 

[Figment1990]

Thanks Figs!!

Quick question. DH has his party ticket already, apparently we just need to pick up his gift card. Do u need to pick up both the ticket and the gift card? Just so I know what to ask. Headed there now and will report on the crowds! Hopefully not too bad. I was spoiled by light crowds last year since we went late Saturday.

Ideal temps are 50-60's! My best 1/2 was in 40's temps.

What color is the tech shirt this year? Any pictures?
