The Disneyland® Half Marathon has reached more than 70% of the registration capacity. Register today to ensure your spot and to be a part of the Disneyland® Half Marathon."


It's filling slower then I thought it would but still it's getting there. The sun is coming out to play here this week and we're planning a few short runs with hopefully 1 or 2 long (for us!) runs this weekend.

Hope everyone else is enjoying wonderful training weather!!!! Woohooo Spring is coming!!!!




(NOTE: NOT SURE HOW IT LOOKS WHEN YOU UPDATED A THREAD TITLE BUT I'VE CHANGED THE TITLE TO READ THE DISNEYLAND HALF IS NOW FILLED. .... was worried if it kept saying 70% it might give someone glancing thru the idea it was still available. Best of luck to all with their training!!! - edit 3/26/06)

I'm registered, but I'm kooky enough to keep checking in because I'm just too excited about it Can barely sit still Ok, off to recheck my registration, double check it, triple check it because now I'm paranoid LOL

Our 1st local race is this weekend, and warmer temps are on the horizon. Can't wait!!!! Happy training to all!!!!!

Is there anywhere online to check if they've processed your registration yet?

I mailed DH's registration a week or so ago - and now I am getting paranoid it's going to fill up before they get it & process it! They still have not cashed our check yet.

 

[DianeL]

I'm sure it's fine I'm just the paranoid type

Looks like the Disneyland 1/2 is now full!!!

First timer on these boards....Good thing I got in last week! Are there a lot of DISers participating in this event? Any DIS meets planned for that weekend?

 

[TiffJ]

lap3-there will be a bunch of us there. We are planning on having a pool party at the Candy Cane Inn I've never been to CA so I am very excited about it. Come join us on the weekly training thread.

Thank you for the invite. Sounds like fun! Kids are invited, right? My DS7 and DD5 would get a kick out of meeting you and playing in the pool. Definitely, I'll check out the weekly training thread. My training is going so-so...I could use a little inspiration! I was involved in a crash in a local bicycle race and I'm having a bit of knee problems. So, the training isn't going as well as planned.

BTW, I hope you'll love it out here! Just be forewarned!...it's sure to be crowded that weekend. But, the weather should be nice and warm.

Of course your kids are invited! My kids wont be there because of school. I'm taking a long weekend trip with my mom (she's doing it too) Some WISHers are bringing their families & some arent because of school but all are welcome.

Good luck with your knee getting better!

I see you are training for an Ironman. That is so cool. I am training for a sprint tri either in May or June. Havent decided which one to do yet. Maybe both How long have you been doing tris? We have one member of the group who I am pretty sure is coming to DL that does Ironmans, I think her screen name is xterratri.

Very cool! I can't wait to meet some fellow DISers. Good luck in your tri. Is this your first one? If so, you'll experience something like no other. My advice to you is to smile at the end! I did the LA Triathlon sprint as my first event and I had a blast! Although I was dead last coming out of the water, I made up ground on the bike and run and finished in the middle of my age group. That goes to show you how bad of a swimmer I am In fact, I did most of the swim on my back! This is my 3rd season doing TRIs. The IM coming up is my first real long distance event. I'm nervous and excited...

Yeah, I've conversed with xterratri over on the Wish boards a few times. I'm sure he/she is a seasoned veteran

I was sweating out whether they got DH's registration in time. I emailed Disney Sports and just got this response:

Since I grew up in Hollis, NH, I made sure Chad got into the event. Seriously, he is in. A confirmation postcard was sent last week. No worries.

See you both in September,

Steve

Woo hoo!

 

[TiffJ]

Kristi-that email is hilarious! Glad DH got in. See you there!

lap3-yes, this is my first tri season. I am getting better at the swimming. I have had someone coach me a little because I needed so much help. I havent had much time on my bike because of the weather. It's hard fitting in training for the Minnie, tri & then the DL 1/2 all at the same time. My son is doing a kids tri in 2 weeks so he will get to do one before me. He is so excited. Good luck on your ironman!

 

[lap3]

I wouldn't worry about the swim too much. Almost all new triathletes have trouble with the swim. In fact, I was so bad at it that during my first tri, I swam most of it on my back! I finished second to last coming out of the water but I finished it. Keep at it...you'll be fine.

Thanks for words of encouragement. I'll need all of the help I can get!

 

[DianeL]

Wonderful news Kristi!!! So glad to hear everything worked out

 

[Judy from Boise]

I think Tink all ready extended the invite.....but let me also say we would like to host?co-host threads related to meets during the half-marathon, over on the DLR board. Besides,,,,you all need to get to planning your park time, not just your split times!

Okay--my fat fanny got onto the road again today--2 miles.

Now what's funny is my garmin was still on in my purse IN my van--and evidently my van can go 1 mile in less than 2 minutes

That would be a really fast half.


I know wish meets are easier planned here---it worked well for WDW and the 'thon. Kind of a one stop shop.

But whatever--I still don't have the cash for the trip anyway. But I do have my ressies at the Candy Cane Inn! They sure do look pretty posted on my bulletin board
