The Official 2013 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Thread

[LaurieG]

Never mind. I think I have answered my own question

 

[NYUBwayBaby]

Thanks! I did and went and got the tape last night. How long did it take for you to feel a difference in your pain level?

I used it for the marathon and noticed that it helped support my ankles/knee quite a bit. I didn't have much pain after the race except for stairs, although I did get swept at 21 so I didn't actually finish the last 5.2 miles.

I had it on for about two days after the race, then my mom and sister-after managing to get their own tape off- spent about an hour with baby oil and nail polish remover pads trying to help me get it off. I had some of the sticky stuff on me for about two weeks- no matter how much I tried and scrubbed I could not get it off.

That said, besides the issues getting it off, I think it helped and I'll use it again.

Does any one know if they are offering the relay option for his years wine and Dine?

They didn't have it this past year either...if that makes you feel any better

RunDisney wants to do a relay, and they get an A for effort, but they seem to fail miserably at doing it and get an F for application.

I've officially registered! I'm running the wine and dine half- now I need to start upping my miles!!

 

[LWQuestie]

Registered myself and my husband today! This will be our Coast-to-Coast!

Wait, dressing up is involved? Why didn't I know that?

Ok, that's just all out FUN!

Wait till I tell my cousin we are going as Bacon and Eggs. Or something similar. Maybe not, she might drop out! Hahahaha!!!

Thanks for all the recs on training- I will be looking into them!

I bought myself a RunDisney performance t for the half-about as much as I am going to dress up!

 

[zgirls]

Dressed up as a Modern santa for a december 5k. Dressed up for Tinkerbell half, red wings and all. Just dressed up for the Yuengling Shamrock half as a leppruchan, orange sideburns and all. But for the W&D I am going to be more focused on the after party and I don't feel like carrying around a costume all night, maybe I'll wear a local beer tshirt and one of those beer helmets...

How was the Yuengling race? I wanted to do it, but it was a little far for a 5k

The Yuengling Shamrock weekend offers several races for everyone in the family. A mile run for youngsters, 8K, Half and Full. The course is super flat and fast, many use it to qualify for Boston.
J&A put on the best races. Awesome management. The best after parties for all races on the beach. Great bling. And nice attire to purchase.
Va Beach usually has warmer than normal temps in March, so coming from PA is a break from the cold weather.
My family loves going and this year my DDs, 8 & 9, both ran the 8K. We had a ton of fun.

Is there a percentage number for the tickets sold for the Finish Line party for the spectators? I have a few friends thinking of coming along that haven't purchased their passes yet. Can this sell out at any moment (similar to the Cheer Squad package for the Princess) or is it unlimited?

Was not aware of this race-I know that there was 5K at the brewery this year. Speaking of VA races, I plan on doing Va. Wine Country Half next June, and for my 50th, the 2016 Va. Beach R&R Half!

April 13th is the 5K at the brewery in Pottsville, that is going to be a hilly run, but it is the first one ever and has a tour as part of the brewery after the run.
I am doing that one as well, should be a lot of fun.

There is a limited number of tickets, but they will update the registration page just like they do for the races with a percentage once they sell 50%.

Wish Pottsville was a little closer-Yuengling is my beer of choice!

Hard to predict but I would say by the price increase on June 19. This is one that seems to jump to 100% from the 75-80% range.
