Marathon Weekend 2017!

[Z-Knight]

Well this for sure makes me want to do dopey again next year since this won't be an official dopey.

On a lighter note someone said this should be the grumpy challenge instead of Dopey lol.

Crap, I cursed us this morning when I posted this picture:

Sorry to hear the news half marathon runners. You should wear your medals to the parks with a black piece of tape across them as a sign of mourning.

Which poses another interesting question. How do you get the medals to the half marathon registrants?

They said more info will be released by 10PM.

 

[StarGirl11]

Have they cancelled before?

Yeah me too on doing Dopey again.

My husband stated he expects people will probably have better marathon times now as their legs may be more rested! Hope that proves true for you Goofy/Dopey runners!

Well...I'm planning on walking 13.1 miles around the parks to "earn" my medal...I guess.

Ha! Yeah I told my husband that at least my legs wouldn't be as tired for the marathon and he said, "No you'll just walk that much more in the parks."

Ultimately I'm in Florida at Disney World with my family. It was 14 degrees at home today. I'll manage to live with my disappointment.

Nope.

And I cancelled my park day tomorrow to rest for the full...

When the sign went up early in Kidani, someone said we'd have to go to the expo to get them. Not sure if that's true

I think the Everest Challenge one year. Can't think of another.

same!! And this way I can do 13.1 with a tasty beverage or snack in hand.

Thinking about wearing the I Did It! shirt ironically.

I'm doing Dopey and to be honest I haven't decided yet if i'm disappointed or not... On the one hand: Turn off the alarm clock (BIG plus!). On the other hand: Getting a medal for "nothing" feels weird somehow... Don't get me wrong - safety definitely comes first, and I'd rather have them cancel the race now rather than tomorrow after we all spent hours waiting in the rain. Just the thought of trying to get on a bus back to the hotel makes my feet hurt!

Good to know we are still getting our medals. Though now I'm going to be tempted to slap a 3/4 and a 1/2 onto my Dopey and Goofy medals.

I bought a 20th anniversary Half shirt. Now I don't even want it really. Good thing I didn't buy the I did it shirt.

Technically, by mileage math, it is 73% Dopey and 66.66666666666666% Goofy.

I am going to run tomorrow because that is my routine. I will then rest for the marathon, because that is also a part of my routine. Really sorry for those coming in just for this. I understand your disappointment.

Wonder if Dopey runners will get a refund for the cost of the half.

 

[StarGirl11]

Between the two surgeries and my pneumonia it probably is to my advantage that tomorrow is cancelled even if I'm in race shape but I'm still disappointed.

I'm headed to Magic Kingdom for some shenanigans and to see the Long Kiss Goodnight. Anyone else in the mood for last minute park time is welcome to join.

Reall want answers for the dopey, goofy, chear squad refunds and or alternate race weekend offer - that better happen if they are giving refunds/deferments to just half runners
