NAME - Alan
DIS'er name - tennesotans
Costume/Clothing - old guy with double knee straps
Corral - C
Pre-race meet-up - Yes
Early Bird or Late Arriver - early
Front, Middle, or back of corral - where the 4:00 pace group is
Expected Pace - with some pixie dust... maybe 9:03 mpm
 


For the half, I’m toying with going DLS to have a different kind of fun. For the full, I think all of us in C need to meet up, do shots, and goof off together with rides, booze, and characters for the following six hours. What say you @rteetz, @Princess KP @camaker ?

I may well be up for it, but I need to see what my hamstring does leading up to the marathon. If it remains problematic I’ll most likely need and welcome the distraction of Corral C party time. If it holds up well and isn’t an issue, I might take a run at a modest PR so that this training cycle wasn’t wasted on the Space Coast blow up.

The back of C is only a few minutes from the front of D. We can easily make this work.
Great!
I’m the opposite. ToT and RnRC are must-dos for me.
I've always been nervous to try and ride ToT and / or RnRC but may attempt to ride one of them this time. Will depend on how far back the balloon ladies are. I have to factor in time for Jell-O shots on the Boardwalk and margaritas in Mexico. :)

“I've always been nervous to try and ride ToT and / or RnRC but will attempt to ride both of them this time.” - fixed it for you ;)

DD got 701xx for the 5k and 601xx for the 10k... Looking at the other races bib patterns couldn’t we conclude that she is in an early corral? I just hope that we are together with my Dopey bib 210xx...

I think it's a good bet but no guarantee that DD will be in Corral A. Assuming you put an equal estimated finish time on your Dopey registration then you should be similarly corral'ed. Although there definitely seemed to be some wishy washiness based on responses from Wine and Dine 2019 as to whether things lined up well. So no guarantees and you'll find out at the expo.

Depends on what time the meet up is
I'll plan on being the point person/landmark for the 10K, half and marathon pre-race meetups, unless anyone in strongly opposed. I'm tall (and, like, *really* handsome ... jk) so I'm easy to spot in a crowd. I also make really awesome, super ornate signs. But anyway, we can figure that out closer to race day. Thanks @DopeyBadger for putting together the spreadsheet again.

For the moment, this is what I've got for pre-race meetups:

Thanks for putting this together @DopeyBadger

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and have been biking on an indoor trainer this week...first run that I've been cleared for is this weekend. It'll be my first run in just about 4 weeks. Hoping for not too much pain at this point. Times above are way slow, knowing I need to take it easy on the runs.

Hoping to link up somewhere in the DATW day - friends and I have a reservation at Oga's Cantina and are then booking it to Epcot. :-)

Jello shots on boardwalk? Wha what?
 
I read so much about Dopey Simulations the last days. To all who are doing those Simulations, do you simulate "just" milagewise or do you also get up early and run at 5:30 in the morning?

How important is getting up early in training for you?!
