My box has already been checked, and the address is correct. So I think I am good, right?
I got that email as well but their is no spot for āadditional registrationā questions and all the info is right so I think I am good.After receiving the rD email yesterday that suggested confirming your address, I went back and mine was unchecked again. I swear it was checked/confirmed a while ago. Typical Disney IT gremlins!
We will be at the GF so once we establish a time anyone who wants can run with us. Obviously if you are on the Lagoon it would be easier.I was going to lose points so I moved my cancelled W&D trip to end of January, rolling the few points from Marathon weekend into that, so I'm staying at BLT, lake view. Shocked I was able to get a room at that time of year. I may hold off on running the Half until then, do just the 5K and 10K at home. I like @Greenlawler's running around 7 Seas route. I can run from the Contemporary around to GF (or even Poly if I need the miles) and back, now that the GF walkway is open.
Today, was a big day and marks a milestone in my training. My second ever runDisney event, as well as my first marathon weekend event. The Walt Disney World 10K! I really wanted to make a good effort on this and actively tried to PR during the entire race. To the point, that I think I overdid it. This was the first time I felt queasy (nothing major) during a run. That being said, I finished the race and I did in fact PR by a decent margin.
Since next week is the Walt Disney World Half I will be running it on the day. Using lessons learned from this race I donāt really have any pace expectations for that since it will be my first Half marathon as well as the first time running the half marathon distance. I will give it my best effort but I am not aiming to be as fast as this race but around the same range.
Anyways...here are the stats:
Time: 01:14:38
Distance: 6.22
Avg Pace: 11:59
Mile 1: 11:37
Mile 2: 11:32
Mile 3: 11:37
Mile 4: 11:52
Mile 5: 12:32
Mile 6: 12:26
Next week begins another race week! WDW Half!
PRās achieved:
Best 5K: 35:36
Best 10K: 01:13:16
EDIT: Oh and one more thing, when you go to submit your times, they have added a feedback prompting a survey. Also a āplaceā section has been added they are probably going to say what you placed against everyone else. This is different from Wine & Dine. They are definitely trying to streamline the virtual races.
Today marks the beginning of the 2021 Walt Disney World Virtual Marathon Weekend! Dopey challengers good luck! 5K racers good luck!
Good luck to our 10K and Dopey Challenger runners today!
I already ran my 10K last week, but I plan on getting in on the action for this week tomorrow for the half!
Itās finally my turn to get in on the action. Good luck to all the half marathon runners and Dopey Challengers!
Just like that the WDW Half is in the books. It was a lot more pleasant then I thought it would be. Didnāt have too many problems till the last 1.5 miles where then the distance was starting to make me tired.
Here are the stats:
Time: 02:40:43
Distance: 13.14
Avg Pace: 12:14
Mile 1: 12:02
Mile 2: 11:56
Mile 3: 11:58
Mile 4: 11:48
Mile 5: 11:53
Mile 6: 12:32
Mile 7: 12:32
Mile 8: 12:19
Mile 9: 12:22
Mile 10: 12:04
Mile 11: 12:47
Mile 12: 12:29
Mile 13: 12:29
This being my first half ever it is naturally a automatic PR for this distance. This will now be the baseline for half marathon distances to compare to in the future. Overall, I am extremely happy with these numbers. I really tried my best and didnāt feel queasy like I did during the 10K. For not being āproperlyā trained for the half this makes these numbers even more impressive (only 12 weeks into Fairytale Challenge training). Excited for the medals! With that, I am going to take a nice long rest.
Side Note: I regret not getting the shirts but itās fine I am getting all the Star Wars ones when that weekend happens.
EDIT: The weather conditions were super ideal for this a little cold but such a perfect day for this virtual run.
This is it, the last race of Marathon weekend. Good luck to our Dopey and full marathon runners!
