Marathon Weekend 2024

Ugh. I’m gonna get swept.

Katie is trying so hard but the corrals are just not into it this morning

The energy is definitely weird.

The energy is definitely weird.

Very. The quietest I’ve seen it. I think people are wondering if they will even start the race. Think I’m going to run this faster than planned.

I’m thinking same and skip the extra six

I’m so glad I didn’t know about this last night or I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. I’m just not going to be able to keep up; my only strength is that I just keep going and don’t stop, but I am SLOW. This looks like it’s going to be a race for the hares, not the turtles.

Yea, energy is definitely one of let’s just get this thing started. I was shocked to see so many people already in the corrals. It looks like they let E and F in earlier than announced. There was already a good amount of people in them when I walked into A a little before 4.

Lots of people running in the parking lot this morning.

I don’t think anyone would complain if they started the run early and got this show on the road.

I'm in B and they have us already staged just before the turnaround in the chute.

Noticed that. I’m right near there with the 2 hour pacer. Surprised they haven’t closed A yet.

 

[Novatrix]

I don't know about the other corrals, but in middle of A I can't hear what they're saying up on stage at all. Hard to build energy without the music/patter.

It should be noted from what I’ve heard about the Wine and Dine 1/2 a 1/2 if they decide to pull it will be fast. My chair friends have talked about how they managed to get them under cover in under 10. Hoping for everyone’s sake the race goes and goes safely.

C is the biggest corral I’ve ever seen. Half the race must be in here.

 

[marty3d]

Is it just me or does it seem like they aren’t ready to go in 7 minutes?

We can't hear either, but I could in this same spot yesterday. I think they moved some speakers due to the corral setup.

 

[Grabnar]

Yeah they really need to get things in gear.

 

[marty3d]

Never mind. As I wrote that they closed A and jumped into the anthem

 

[StarGirl11]

I can’t say anything without physically being there other than we’re 3 minutes away from the first release. Wheelchairs start 2 minutes ahead of the general start.

 

[1GoldenSun]

Do you think they’re bringing the characters up on the stage that we’re supposed to be at character stops?

 

[StarGirl11]

Sounds like they might have been waiting for a final all clear? Because if your timings right the chairs are either going late or their getting released in the middle of the anthem

 

[pluto377]

Wheelchairs have started and c hasn’t moved. By this time yesterday we were much further along. Interesting
