Nessie notes:
I can't even begin to tell you how much fun this weekend was.... you all have to run the Disney marathon
(slowly) and soak in the atmosphere. It was really awesome! We took loads of photos, on and off the course.
This has been my favorite run by far.
The only bad thing..... getting up so FREAKIN' early.
Screech adds:
- yes, it was FUN, FUN, and MORE FUN!
Absolutely have to put this on your list to do - and a must w/ friends (the more the better!) and
multiple cameras!!!! It was absolutely the MOST fun I've ever had :-) We laughed, danced (!), took
TONS of pics, ate McDonald's apple pie (mile 19!!), chowed on HERSHEY CHOCOLATES (mile 23 !!!!) - oh,
that was SOO GREAT - and can't even begin to tell you all the disney characters that came out for the
marathoners!! some lines to get our pics w/ them were longer than others but they were ALL worth
waiting for!
There were more characters out for the marathoners to get their pics w/ than in the
parks for the tourists themselves!! so kul - animals from the animal kindgom were on hand as well -
we have pics to go along w/ all this - i swear!! The 5K and 1/2 were just as fun too! all 3 races
had fireworks to start!!
Disney really knows how to organize a w/e of running - extremely well done.
3 very, very early a.m. (3:00 for 2 days and 4ish for the other) but ALL so worth it!! Weather was
really perfect the whole time -well, a bit hot for the marathon - don't think we noticed too much though!
And I think the only thing that is sore is our necks - ya know..all the hardware hanging around our
necks was TOUGH :-)
Shaggy provides stats:
For the Goofyholics in the group,
There's a DisneyRunning website
that lists combined half/full times sorted in order.
However, it doesn't break it down any more. I copied the data from there and came up with age group
categories.
Party Girl was 28th over all in the combined Goofy times (based on chip time).
She was the 5th woman and 2nd in the 25-29 age group.
PG ran a 1:28 half and 3:20 full.
Other stats...
Top Goofy man (Mackey Tyndall) and woman (Jacqui Kapinowski) were in wheelchairs...
Youngest Goofy runners (male & female) were 18. Oldest Goofy woman was 76 and oldest guy was 80.
