Marathon Weekend 2020

[Keels]

I literally just will not have enough time on the books to make Dopey work without sacrificing DATW and that's just not worth it to me.

Goofy + DATW it is then!

I've been already trying to come up with ideas to make DATW the best medal of the weekend ...

 

[rteetz]

So, if time is really constrained, should I just skip all races and make it to the DATW get-together?

Why not?

I feel like that shouldn't be that hard.

I like the marathon medal. I’m indifferent about spinners, but Mickey and Minnie are cute and I’m glad they’re both there. Now to decide if I’m going to do the race or not.

Goof Troop!

Sounds like a good Half Marathon costume....

YES!

So who’s Powerline and who’s Max as Powerline?

After my 2019 Goofy spinner broke on me and I had to tape it together for photos, I'm perfectly fine with a non spinning Goofy medal. I wish Goofy had more color, but if the detail in the artwork shows up in the final medal, I really like the Goofy medal.

This is why I’m indifferent towards spinners. They can be cool, but I feel like they’re fragile and I’ve heard/seen multiple reports of people who have had their spinners break. With this marathon medal, pretty much the whole thing spins, so if it breaks, you really have nothing left.

That might be the easiest thing you have to do between now and MW! Just when you think the RunDisney bar has hit bottom, they seem to find a way to lower it! Seems like RunDisney Limbo ought to be a DATW thing.

Maybe a kickstarter?

In a word...yes.

I assume you saw my Flavor Flav post. Start with that, but think bigger.

I’m listening...

Am I Goofy and @rteetz is Max since we already look so much alike?

Goofy 2019 was the weirdest, least mechanically sound, and flimsiest construction spinner they've ever made. I appreciate that they were trying for something interesting, but that one was built to fail.

Hopefully it’s better than with the Wine and Dine spatula from a few events ago

Oh, all of my ideas are definitely better than that.

I am toying with an idea for the 5K or 10K this year. It will not involve Goofy. I will only do it if I can make it obvious who the mashup is because otherwise it won't work. For the moment I am keeping quiet on the mashup other than to say it does not involve Star Wars or traditional Disney. . .

Goofy 2019 was the weirdest, least mechanically sound, and flimsiest construction spinner they've ever made. I appreciate that they were trying for something interesting, but that one was built to fail.

Even once I figured out how to piece it back together I couldn't get it to stay together. It just sort of fell apart on me. I had planned on gluing it when I got home, but the manager at Art of Disney in Epcot was kind enough to replace it for me as part of my getting the medals framed there so that worked even better.

Talk about setting a low bar....

 

[pluto377]

Oh, I really like that marathon medal. Tempted to sign up for just the marathon now...

 

[Jason Bryer]

So I am wondering, if you drink at all the countries, is that Happy challenge or the Sleepy challenge?

I hate to get off track from the DATW talk, but does anyone know if it's possible to see the time you entered for your estimated completion and even more so, if it's possible to adjust that time at a later date? I submitted mine before i started training and would prefer to not end up in the last corral due to that. Thanks y'all.
