Oh, yeah? Check out this craziness! What on Earth?? Never been chased by a sheriff, but I’ll leave that one off my bucket list. https://wdwnt.com/2024/01/sheriff-reportedly-walt-disney-world-marathon/

They hyped up a guy running on a broken ankle. So… I dunno.

I’m not sure they would care, but the main email is the only way to really contact them I think.

On course I thought was great, especially given the weather. It seems each stop pushed the most positive dude they had to the front as a hype man, Nice touch. Off course, OTOH, DW had to deal with some guy who was apparently the stroller police, trying to tell her she couldn’t strap in our 18...

Congrats to all my peeps taking on the Drown’d Rat Challenge today! Awesome!

Anybody organizing a betting pool on the weather? 😁 I cannot lie. I looked... DON'T DO IT! 🤪 Just... pack everything.

Run faster. Or burn.

We thought of that! But I don't think so. The locator would bounce from one location to the next, and it was pretty consistently at the aid stations. The only time it didn't was a stretch with a group of spectators, and even then the little dot jumped into the Waffle House along the course, so I...

I KNOW! (What is wrong with these people.) :P These have crossed my ads and look interesting: https://www.compressport.com/usa/en/35-belts Intriguing, but expensive. And there's nowhere to go test them out.

I've been using Spibelts for years. They do the job, although a while ago I found out it works better for me if I turn it around and put the phone behind me. If I get in the right spot, it works great for most runs. It does have to be cinched up for faster efforts. However, when I got a Garmin...

Oh, they definitely love the scarcity thing, but in this context it's just cruel. Before anyone could buy a Boston Marathon jacket online, they would have an option to order one if they sold out. Good service. For Disney, they only believe in limiting by volume, even though everything is...

SAFD: I've been to MK once on my own, last year when I was in town for a meeting and I had half a day to kill, and needed to pick up something for DD, anyway. :D (She's new. 15 months now.) It was weird and fun. RE: PREVIOUS RANT ON SOLD OUT PRE-ORDER MERCH for Marathon Weekend: So, I decided...

You're preachin' to the choir! They've gotten away with it for a while now. Those days may be coming to a middle.

My understanding is this is exactly how it's done. The resorts have to pay parks to get characters, etc. So who knows if the race had to shell out cash for passes. :confused3 (My suspicion is rD has to pay a fortune to ESPN for the expo space, explaining why no one exhibits anymore except...

Well, I’ve got a guy who supplies the team gear for a few school districts around here. I’ll ask him if he’s ever done road races, and how that shakes out.

I can get thousands of custom jackets sent to my house in 3 weeks. I don’t understand what they’re doing.

What. DW went to order the race weekend package (because there will not be jackets by the time we get there), and this is what they have left. They are selling out of (checks notes) pre-orders. What is wrong with these people?

Perhaps. But if so few used them, what was the harm? But even if it doesn't affect the volunteer turnout, the announcement was so insulting, and I prefer rD show more appreciation.

You had to use them by 1pm that same day, so yeah, basically a half-day ticket. "Thank you for considering volunteering your time during the upcoming RunDisney race season! Your passion for making a difference in the Central Florida community through our celebrated charities is truly valued. In...

SAFD: About as good as can be expected! Finished one full marathon block through the summer. They say heat and humidity is the poor man's elevation. I hope they're right, because that was ridiculous! Next block starts soon, but the hardest part may be keeping my diet clean over the holidays! :(
