    Garmin web site down

    The Garmin web site has been down for a few days. Word is they got hit by ransom ware. I've been using Strava to get my data off my watch. If you don't want to use their app you can manually upload your FIT files from your watch.

    Road ID Sidekick

    I don't leave the house without my Road ID. They have a new product, the Sidekick, that attaches to your Garmin or Fitbit. This will free up a wrist if you ever do a Disney event that requires annoying wristbands. Not sure if direct links are allowed. But you can easily find it. (I do not work...

    Turnstile colors?

    Anyone know what the different turnstile colors mean? For example, I've had trips where Mickey turns blue, not green after scanning. A Passholder thing? On my last trip Mickey turned red and yelled something at me. Then it turned green. Was this a Star Wars thing? I ran the Rivals Run Challenge...

    Quick 2016 DLR Star Wars Half Report

    A few notes about the DLR Star Wars Half. When I heard about the new Star Wars race weekend at WDW and the Kessel Run medal I had to figure out how to get back to DLR. Checked the travel agents on the runDisney site and found one that still had half registrations. The Challenges were all sold...

    2016 Dopey Challenge Report

    Want to get this in before I fly out to Orange County tomorrow. :) First, some quick take-aways: Don’t try to PR these races. They are all fun runs and they are too crowded. Even the marathon. Go PR somewhere else. Do the Dopey at least once. The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming. The...

    Expedition Everest 2015 Report

    A quick report while I'm waiting for the crew to wake up before we go to Epcot to eat and drink our way around Flower & Garden: Before I start whining and complaining I need to first say that we had an absolute blast. It was the first Disney race for my sister and brother-in-law and they had a...

    Star Wars 2015 Report

    Meant to get this out sooner but Dopey+Rebel caught up to me and I'm getting over a bug. Happens when I get worn out. Flew in to Orange County Thursday and took the Disneyland Express bus to the Disneyland Hotel for packet pickup about 1400. No problems, in and out quickly. Walked the 15...

    2015 Dopey Report

    My 2015 Dopey report: Wednesday Drove down and made it to the expo about 1600. There was a special separate check-in for the Goofys and Dopeys. Kind of felt like a VIP. Packet and shirts in the same place. Then had to do shirt swap because I've lost weight. Next, over to pre-ordered...

    Rode a training bus today

    My bus from Coronado to Epcot today was driven by a trainee. The trainer did a combo Southwest Airlines / Jungle Cruise act on the way. Told a lot of bus trivia, joked about the destination ("This bus is going to Universal." Oh yes he did). "If you enjoyed the ride our names are..., if you...
