Inaugural Disney Wine&Dine**1/2 Marathon** Post Race Discussion!

[satman1962]

Hi all.

Can anyone post a picture of the official race pin? I didn't order one and would like to see how it looked.

This was my second Disney race and I really enjoyed it, but I really got beat down by the humidity. Hope to run in January too.

Thanks!

Welcome Bob. Congratulations on your first half. I'll be doing the full in January with you.

Thanks for the welcome and congrats FireDancer. It really was an amazing time and helps me feel that much more confident about the marathon.

I look forward to meeting you and others in Jan.

Yep...along with the comments that went with it. Some very upset people. I can see why...it is an expensive race, and if you bought party tix for your family to top it off - it was a lot of money spent! I trust Disney will work out the kinks...the first step to fixing any problem is admitting you have one - and at least they did that!

I am glad that they are admitting their mistakes as well...at least they know that some things need to change...I really wish I could make it to a race in January but it looks like the next time Ill be there is Wine&Dine next year...I hope at least some of you guys decide to try it again!!

Love the pin...wish I could find mine Thanks for posting the pic

I'm willing to bet next year's race will be extra "Disneyfied" to court those who are upset this year back into the fold!

Thanks for the pin pic......wish I ordered one!

THis was my first race, so I really had no clue....I enjoyed myself..I was happy with the end result....but still have my vouchers
For me, it was exciting and I felt I was a part of something, especially that I was among athletes! THis Half got me off my a** and back to the gym...nothing else was motivating me at the time, so when they announced it...I figured this would do it!
ALthough I procrastinated awhile... I did it and I am still training and looking forward to two 5K's in the next month and the Half in January I think this public announcement was very positive!

Did you find your pin yet?! Not sure if I will do the WIne&Dine again...too soon to tell....have thoughts of DL Half...but logistics arent as easy as I thought!

I agree...maybe the Inaugural's will get a discount on registration?!

I narrowed down where it is, its a matter of getting it down from the top shelf in my closet Did you find yours? I want to hurry up and frame/do something with it and the medal, etc before I lose them!! Its good you have races lined up to keep you motivated...hopefully youll do the wine and dine again its the best time of year for me to travel, so thats why I think I might try it again. I really want to try the full marathon in 2012 but I think I might just be nuts

Yeah, I think this is the boat I'm in, too.

Lol. Maybe not a suitcase, but I did already book my room & might not mind a roomie if the DH doesn't come along!

How was the Philly RnR? I'm tossing around the idea of maybe doing that one next year

It was OK. The day was VERY sunny and warm, and there's not a lot of shade on the course. Also, many of the bands were on break when the mid-to-back of packers passed them (I run a 2:20 HM at the moment).

It was fun running through the streets of Philly, though. I may run the Philadelphia Half next November rather than RnR.
