To Infinity and Beyond - Becoming a Better DopeyBadger (Comments Welcome)

[DopeyBadger]

Costume changes are easier for boys - just swap out cape and accessories! Hope Gigi enjoys her Elena meet!

Slightly sore ankle, so slower day today. Moving to BWI in the morning, but mateojr said he will keep an eye out for you at the 5K!

We shall see for G. It's scheduled for Saturday but now it looks like rain.

Two best bets: at the pre race meetup spot or get to the front of whatever corral you're in and look for the guy in a white/black tank with a fire guy on it that says feed your crazy at the front of A as it passes by.

So I've put two and two together and I've learned that you feed your crazy with bananas.
This worries me, because you have a lot of bananas right now...and thus you probably will be at peak levels of crazy for tomorrow's 5k.
I didn't factor this in when I picked your 5k time...DARN. Should have shaved at least a few seconds off.

Ok - For those playing at HOME. Here is a reminder of everyone's guesses for the 5k.


I'll be tracking Mr. Badger tomorrow morning and once official times are in I will update everyone with the current points standings. I can't give out bonus points BUT I can do fun challenges for no reason. So today, post your favorite picture from any Disney 5k. (I will accept non-Dis races if you have not run a Dis 5k...basically let's just fill Billy's inbox for fun!)

WDW 5k from last year! Post race brunch with Minnie, dressed as Minnie (a sweaty Minnie)
Good reminder of how much fun it was and how far I've come since then.

Good luck beginning Dopey tomorrow! May the Force be with you!

No pics but I did do the Race for the Cure once

I'm excited to meet people. I put together the DIS sheet last year for marathon weekend and it worked and it didn't. I didn't feel like people were able to find each other well. So this year we've got pre-race meeting spots and a green ribbon on our bib to help find each other.

Where are you meeting for the half and full? I'd love to stop by and wish everyone luck!

Click on my strava link to my profile. The first picture on my profile is a map of the pre-race meeting area. I also last posted it in the marathon weekend thread on 12/31 I believe.

In words, right where they hold us before the walk to the corrals. Just on the other side of gear check. I'll have a sign that says "DIS" on it. Meeting between 3-4:15 am (ending time dependent on when they start the walk to corrals) at that spot.

Should say the strava link is in my signature.

Great, thanks! I'll look for you in the corral if I miss the first meet-up. I'm not sure what I'm wearing yet but I'll probably have on my neon yellow Richmond Marathon running cap - it's very hard to miss! Good luck!

Good luck!!

Sounds good. I'll be in corral B wearing Wisconsin for the half and Hansons for the full. I'll look for you. Best of luck to you as well!

Darn, I don't see any spaces for "times you dreamed about" on the spreadsheat.

Still waiting for official results. So suspenseful! I'm guessing you've finished by now unless you randomly decided to stop at every character.

You're not missing anything here in Wisconsin this morning…

2017 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Results


Check back Race Weekend. Race Results will be available after each race.

This is the equivalent of your team playing in the SuperBowl and all of the scores are blocked from your viewing. Ok, maybe that's a little hyperbolic.
It's 8 degrees in Chicago, but luckily it feels like -10!
For the record...I would have stopped for Italian Minnie Mouse and Canadian Donald Duck so any PR smashing would never happen with me.

Unofficially a 21:02. That's a pretty tight time based on what I see. The 5k usually becomes official around 12-2. Thankfully after this there is live tracking so we should have official results quicker.

Man I'm not missing that weather at the moment. Interesting I saw them but didn't realize they were in special costumes. That's pretty cool!

 

[roxymama]

So that means PR #1 in the books. Congrats!
I'll wait for official to update the sheets
