Completely agree! I have lived in Orlando for almost 2 years now but you never get used to it. You can run better in the heat but that kind of humidity will always affect you. I was taking salt/electrolyte tablets and I was still miserable. It's late April in Florida though, so I guess what did...

Congratulations everyone on finishing! Just reading all of these comments and it sounds like, for the most part, everyone had enjoyable experiences this weekend. Lessons learned for me: I probably won't be doing any more challenges or multiple races in a weekend. Even though I went very easy on...

Flipper's is a good option for Orlando pizza. It's rare to find a good pizza joint down here. Giordano's always makes me feel ill afterward lol.

I think this article might answer that: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/tag/best-disney-pasta/

Good point, I didn't think of that. It looks like the shirts match the medals for their respective races. But I would absolutely LOVE a Darth Vader medal/shirt.

Since the shirts are "free", I'd rather see them go all out rather than play it safe. They have nothing to lose, it's not like they have to sell them.

Shirts aren't bad but could be better in my opinion.

Does anyone else feel "fake" scratchy throats or other cold symptoms during race week? I swear I always get so scared I'm getting a cold that most of the time I think my throat is starting to get scratchy when it really isn't lol.

It was perfect! Unfortunately for the weekend it's looking like it will be a bit warmer with lows in the upper 60's. I saw Sunday there is a possibility of thunderstorms as well. Hopefully it changes as we get closer.

ATTQOTD: New York. I would say Boston but I would rather earn it and qualify on my own than be given automatic entry. Bonus: Love coffee. I will normally drink 2-3 cups every morning. The best cups of coffee I've had have been from Kona Cafe at the Poly, Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco, or...

Glad to hear everything is okay. Missing out last year will only make this year that much more of an achievement! I am doing my first challenge so I can't speak from personal experience. However, the research I've done as well as others I've spoken with say there should be little-to-no effect...

Congratulations @Wendy98 and @BikeFan! You have reached the ultimate goal for any runner. Good luck on Monday!

It will be interesting to see how quickly they sell as compared to years' past. I actually prefer it being closer to the date. It helps that Wine & Dine and Marathon sign-ups won't be on back to back credit card statements.

Do we think the delays in registration will hurt the number of people who sign up for Marathon weekend? I feel like some people may talk themselves out of signing up now, or choose another destination to race instead.

Interesting! I have heard great things about salt tabs. I think my local running store has some. I might try them on my last few runs to see how I do.

More time to decide if I'll run the WDW Marathon or the Miami Marathon. Has anyone ever run the Miami Marathon or heard anything about it?

Ah, yeah I suppose it's all relative. I personally love running in the low 50's. I bet after the previous 3 race days you were just ready to be done lol.

Did you mean the 2017 full? The weather for this year's marathon was pretty much perfect running weather. I believe it started a bit chilly but then rose to about 53 degrees by the end of the race.

The point of my post was that I don't enjoy it because I've done other rides very similar to it. Off the shelf may be a stretch but there were many other mine train coasters just like it. I can ride similar mine train attractions at Six Flags, whereas I could not experience Splash Mountain at...

Agree to disagree. I have just never found anything really unique about Big Thunder. Just my opinion.
