Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[Leskash75]

So did half today and my legs quit at mile 10. I was on track for 15 min miles. Then nope. I don't know really if I should try or not. Arrrgh. Daughter good to go but I'm confused.

I have also been there... and also have gotten irritation from my chest strap of my heart rate monitor. I now use bodyglide so it does minimize it.

I agree with the diaper rash cream - when my kids were irritated, I used to put Desitin on it. I wonder why I never thought of using it on me until I found BodyGlide...

hope you feel better soon

Is there a meet time planned to walk over to the start of the half? Or if not, perhaps we can set a time so we all don't have to walk alone

thanks

I'm in agony over here people!

And I'm also thoroughly embarrassed

Sorry about that one! I second the glide. It works wonders.

So, I am in the last corral as I was expecting. We are staying at BWPPI and I am wondering what time I should head over in order to give myself the best chance of getting in the front of the corral. Any ideas? I've never been to DL so I'm a little anxious.

That's where I'm staying!! It should take about 10-15 min to get over to the staging area and it's faster (& warmer) to cut through the Grand via DTD. You cut through the hotel and you come out at the crosswalk where they have some porta potties and you can walk straight over to the staging area. I have race OCD and get there early, I'll probably head out around 3:45 or so. If you want to walk over w/ me you're welcome to.

Good job on the runs ladies, only 2 1/2 more weeks!! Happy New Year!!!

I'm at the Hojo as well. I'm guessing it will take us 20 minutes to get to the race area? Anyone know for sure? I'd love to walk over with everyone else.

That sounds great! Just let me know what time to meet you in the lobby and I will be there.

How is everyone figuring out what corral they're in? I thought you don't find out until you pick up your bib on race weekend?

Get your waiver printed first, then once you have bib number you can check here for your corral

If this is right then my BFF and I both start in A!!!

Howdy neighbor!! I'm in North Natomas. Bit chilly this morning, eh? (that was for you, Sarah )

Nicely done Jessica!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Ha ha Sarah! I won't laugh anymore- don't make me go!!! I saw on the other thread the suggestion of coconut oil--- BRILLIANT! It totally cures everything. Hope it's helping.

This one was suggested somewhere... http://www.marrispizza.com/index.html... for pizza near DL. I think someone on this thread ate there last year? It looks yummy! They deliver to DL area too- so might be nice to have it in your room chillaxin (do people still say that?) night before the run.

Great job getting out there in the cold- I don't like cold! I braved the 30 degrees this weekend too though. Happy to have that last long long run done. I'll do 8-10 next weekend, then a 6, and call it good... bring on Tink!

Marri's is my pre race ritual! So good!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

So, my sister isn't running Tink with me. I have her spot available if anyone is interested.

 

[Leskash75]

We are going to be there 18-23. We are going to do Disney of course but is there anything outside Disney that is a good idea etc. I obviously don't want to do too much walking Pre-half

Not sure how early you wanted to get to the staging area, but if you want to walk over w/ us you can. Just meet us at BWPPI and you can hitch a walk!

That sounds great! Just let me know what time to meet you in the lobby and I will be there.

Is 3:45 too early for you?

That sounds so early its almost painful! I think I'll sleep in my running clothes to save me some time in the morning.

Does anyone need a bid for the half? I haven't trained so I'm thinking I shouldn't do it

My sister is looking to get rid of hers too she went back and forth on running it but since she hasn't trained she decided not to.

I'm looking for a 5k.

 

[kirstie101]

Question about "training"....What does everyones week of the half marathon look like? Are you scaling back your running or no?
