Reading is important....completely missed the multi race part of this question. LOL.

I also thought "Reading IS fundamental" when I saw that no answer is some large number of points in round two. All a part of the game!

Thank you all for playing!! I hope you had as much fun playing as I did organizing it. I realize I did this very Walt Disney World centric and should have included more Disneyland and other Disney type questions. Maybe someday down the road, someone can run with the Disneyland idea when we are in another lull before a RunDisney race!!

Thank you @huskies90 for organizing this! It was a lot of fun and the answers were beautifully decorated. It will be a long lull before my next runDisney at WDW (probably Dopey 2020) but this thread do help a lot with patience!

 

[Jules76126]

Thanks at @huskies90 for organizing. That was a lot of fun!

 

[TheHamm]

Thanks @huskies90 ! I will not retally my score based on my second tier answers, because I cannot help myself.

So I had to look this up. And apparently I was wrong. I always assumed it was on Disney property. It is bordered by Disney owned property on 3 sides and only accessible from inside the Disney gates. I do wonder though if the property it sits on was once owned by Disney and they sold it or whatever.

Nope, that parcel was never owned by Disney. It was purchased by someone else as investment property - it was undeveloped, which has always made me think the buyer had some inkling that Disney was interested in the area; Disney started buying the surrounding land shortly after. I'm sure offers were made for the Bonnet Creek land, but Disney never got it.

Dear Mother Nature,
Earlier this year when I said I would rather run on the hottest day of the year, rather than the coldest day of the year, I DID NOT MEAN EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
Thanks, OSGG

Our highs have been 10-12 degrees above average and are going stay that way all week. I still haven't seen a low under 70. It also haven't seen a morning humidity under 95%. It feels like August instead of mid-September.

End of weather rant.

Rant away, it's ridiculous at this point. I haven't seen a low under 80 in the past 2 weeks, and no end in sight.

 

[PrincessV]

Apparently sheep is not my thing. Look away, I'm hideous!

 

[roxymama]

@TheHamm sprinted past me at the finish line and I just couldn't keep up. @ZellyB really crushed everyone though! That was fun and I kind of want to ask my hubby the questions to see how an "I like disney, but not obsessed" person would do compared to our group.

Thanks @huskies90 for the fun game!

That will never be the scenario in a race, so I will enjoy it!
Can I count that as a speed work out? I cannot figure them out in real life, so this would also be as close as I will get for now.

It's been really warm, and I havent even attempted to run outdoors. I am going to run tonight at least on the TM. I think our first cool front is coming in the next 8-12 days!!!!

QOTD: The Berlin Marathon was ran over the weekend, and a new world record was set for the race by a large margin. The old record was 2:02:57, Mr. Eliud Kipchoge ran it in 2:01:39, taking nearly a 1 minute and 20 seconds off the previous record. If I recall correctly he was part of the nike sub 2 project. So far todays question I wanted to revisit the question of do you think a sub 2 hour marathon is possible, and if you do, how many years until someone does it?

ATTQOTD: YES it will happen. I do not think anyone who is currently racing will do it, but I think in another 15 years it happens.

I think we are closer than many think. I would give it 5-10 years.

[Capang]

ATTQOTD: it's gonna happen. I'd say within 5 years we will see it.

 

[Capang]

@huskies90 thanks for the game! It was fun to play!

 

[PrincessV]

ATTQOTD: Kipchoge's performance in Berlin made it feel much closer than I previously thought - I think it could really happen within the next few years. And I would not be surprised at all if Kipchoge is the one to do it.

Right there with you on this. One of the worst days of the year for running last night, heat index was 99 at 7pm.

 

[AntimonyER]

ATTQOTD: That pace just boggles my mind. But being so close, it seems like its possible. We continue to find ways to improve human performance, I am sure someone can find a way to get that last extra 1.4%.

ATTQOTD: Records were made to be broken. So, yes, it will happen. It is just a question of whether it happens before the robot uprising. I can see some hybrid human/cyborg shattering the record in 5-10 years or so...
