This is what I read on the other board...no one can find waivers. I haven't look for mine because I printed it out, but I guess the system is scrambling birthdays? And yeah, I have been watching for the runner tracking link too...if their computers are really so messed up who knows when it will get posted.
On the facebook Run Disney page, a lot of people are saying they can't be found when trying to download waivers. Apparently there has been a software glitch that messed up birthdays or something like that. They are working to fix it. There are rumors that runner tracking may be available tomorrow. I am hoping it is because there are a few family members that would like the info to sign up before I leave!
The site isn't working.....I tried yesterday as well. It seems like all the systems are crashing right when we need to use them.
Bummed you're not going. I'm determined to make the M&G this time.LOL, we are so opposite. Im not saying I would enjoy sitting around waiting for an event to start in 22 degree weather, but if were planning on doing the Goofy, Id want cooler temps to help recovery and hydration.
Regardless, good luck to everyone traveling down and running. If yall are having a MnG, take some pictures.
Brian right? Going to add you!
I have heard that it should be back up today. Worst case scenario you will be able to print them at the expo.
Yeah, but that's going to be a problem for people picking up bibs for other people.
What resort are you staying at?
I do think that part of the reason they set the 5AM cut-off is to make sure EVERYONE is there for the race start (it's, what, ~25,000 runners in the half alone? Probably more).
The first thing that you need to understand is that this is a Disney race, and you are going to be doing a lot of standing around. Traffic on those mornings is an absolute nightmare, so I'd suggest getting on the earliest bus possible....it gives you the least amount of hassle. You'll go to the family reunion area where a DJ will be entertaning. There have also been food trucks there if you didn't grab something to eat.
Congrats on your first half! You guys will love it.
I think the thing I learned to do after my first Disney event and Rock N Roll event, is if the schedule calls for a 8 mile run, do 8.5 or 9. This will prepare you for the obscene amount of extra walking and standing that you will do. Most of us walk right out of our front door and go run the distance.... but on race day, it would be like going out your front door, walking around the block a few times, standing there staring at the back of someone head for an hour, then heading off for your run. I recall not being mentally ready for that wait and downtime of anxiety filled standing around doing nothingness.
I was exhausted by the time the fireworks went off.
I usually dont like to talk much before and event. I guess it is my game face mode. However, riding the bus to the ToT and 70+ year old man started small talking me. After a few minutes, I really enjoyed his company and learned a few things about this whole running thing. He couldnt run anymore, but he still walks Disney events and he said it would most likely be a "Right in front of the sweepers" kind of finish. I hope he did well.
