OK guys. I ran the inaugural W&D and if my leg heals up and capacity hasnt been reached, Im running this too.

This wdwmagic member will be down again for Epcot's 30th like I was for its 25th. If I arrive on Saturday morning, it works out perfect.

PLEASE leg heal and PLEASE dont reach capacity. It has been at 51% for at least a week. Hold on 2 more week!

This year, unlike the W&D, If I run, we will all have to come up with a meeting spot afterwards.

(Sitting in my yoga pose) "Ommmm"......sending heal thoughts your way.
Because:
a)Being in pain SUCKS :(
b)I know how much it's killing you to not be able to get your runs ins :mad:
and most importantly-
c)I think it would be so cool to meet up with you in September face to face :sohappy:

Coryna,
it just has to work out. Sam said, "Go blow it out that weekend with Richard and have fun".... So I would consider running 10 miles at DHS the night before my 2 day'er at the parks begins and potentially staying up WAY passed my bedtime has to work out. :D

Lets play hypothetical. Assuming I sign up for the ToT in a week, the earliest flights arriving at MCO on Saturday is 2:40. I would have to ask someone that is staying in the All Stars resort to do me a HUGE favor and sign the waiver to pick up my race packet and leave it at the front desk. This is assuming they are staying in the same resort. I wouldnt ask anyone to make a special trip.

:lookaroun

Ill pay. :lol:

I'll be there on Thursday. (Not sure which resort yet) Get your waiver release to me ahead of time and we'll set -up a time/place to meet before the race.
No payment necessary...oK, well maybe a dole whip.

BOOYA. You are ON!

Im running Tuesday morning. Im going to lightly test out the knee over 1 mile. If I dont have any pain. The progression to recovery is on. That day, Ill register to beat the price hike. I figure this, in the strange event that my leg continues this problem and Im done with running (worst case scenario) I can walk the damn thing. :lol:

Coryna, Ill be at one of the All Stars. Not sure which one, but we will work it out or if someone is staying at the same resort and they can leave at the front desk, then we will do that. If that happens, Ill still treat you to a Dole Whip just for volunteering. :D

I'll be staying at All Stars... but be careful, the only one that has any rooms left is music. We're booking our room tomorrow, so I'm hoping it'll still be open for ya in a few weeks.

And that you heal. Because you should be there for the meet!

Im booked at Music. Ill go ahead and sign up for the event tomorrow. It jumped to 60%. They probably calculated the weekend signups. 60% is way to close to that full mark. :lol:

We will have to orchestrate a better meet this time around. At the W&D 2010, Im not sure any of us had a clue of how crowded and packed Epcot would be. It was ridiculous crowded by the Gateway and Im not sure it would have been easy meeting. Lets start to talk about a good place, not too close to the finish, and not too close to ToT or RnRC. I bet those areas will be very crowded.

60% and not even at the 6 month mark... that's crazy. I wonder what the max capacity for this race is. :shrug:

hmm... maybe closer to Muppets, since that will be open for the after party?

Possibly. I bet since everyone will be down Sunset BLVD for the main e-tickets there, in front of the Sorcerers hat would do. We need to wait and see the official race path to decide. Lets wait till that is posted.

Agreed. It's possible the race route will go right down Hollywood blvd.

If all else fails, we can meet over in the restaurant by the backlot tour...big, open, and plenty of room for those who get there first to sit and relax.

That of course is after we ride ToT and RnRC a few times; post race. :D

Was it you that posted the race route from the event a few years ago? Id like to see that again. I need to find that post.

I'm officially registered - reminder, the price goes up $15 tomorrow, so don't wait if you are planning to run. There is only one chance to run the inaugural event!

(and it was up to 68% when I registered :lookaroun )

Registered right before midnight before the price went up. I had been thinking of running this race since I heard about it in January - February. Paid $111.11 for race entry plus the commemorative race pin.

This will be my first Disney race, let alone my first 10 miler. Should be interesting. Never ran the ToT 13K, but I almost did.

Should be interesting training this spring and summer. The farthest I have ever run is an 8K and more recently I have been running 5Ks. Easy enough to go from 3.16 miles to about 7 more, right?

I am staying at the Shades of Green and was wondering what would be the quickest / easiest way in getting to and from Wide World of Sports for the race packet pick-up?

As well, on race night, what bus(es) shall I take from Shades / Polynesian / TTC to get to the starting line, etc.

Thanks for advice in advance!

Yes, you should easily be about to double that distance in the time we have left to train. See you there.

As far as the transportation goes, that is tricky since you arent staying at a host resort. Ill let another member chime in.

I was looking for a meeting place we all could easily find each other after the race. You know the route won't go through a big seating area.

It wasn't me that posted the map. I think it's in the other ToT race thread though. :)
