Marathon Weekend 2022

[Barca33Runner]

Holy bleeping anxiety, Batman. Woke up after 90min of sleep just now almost having a full blown anxiety attack. Major imposter syndrome going on. This sucks so much. If you’re on, I need someone to talk me down that tomorrow isn’t going to be the worst day of my life and that I haven’t wasted all of this time training. I’m so tired, and every time I close my eyes right now it just ramps way back up.

I know from anxiety attacks and, although they sometimes won’t quit, they are rarely founded on rational fear. You’re going to do what you can do tomorrow and, no matter what that is, no training was wasted; every step was one in the right direction.

Everyone here is behind you, knows you can do it, and will support you whatever the day brings.

I just really really really need to sleep.

While I’m not in the same place as you, I’m awake too (again) and nervous and wondering if I can do this and feeling all the feels. I think most of it is the fear of letting myself down after all the months of training and anticipation. I just keep trying to remind myself that I did the work already. You did as well. Not only that, but if I remember correctly your work also included completing a marathon!

Now we get to celebrate all of our hard work with a 26.2 victory lap through the most magical place on Earth. I don’t expect all of those miles to be magical, but I’m not worrying about time. When the miles become a challenge, we just have to put one foot in front of the other. We’ve got this!

Now I’m going to attempt another sleep meditation to try to get another hour or 2 of sleep…

It's just a 26.2 mile trip through the four parks. You're ready for this.
I hope you can get back to sleep soon!

You can do this. Take it easy and let your body do what you’ve trained it to do. Soak up the Disney magic and have fun!

Can someone please remind me of the prerace meetup plan for tomorrow?

(I hate to be “this person” but I feel like I’ve searched so many pages and am not finding it. Sorry!)

I'd like to know too. A quick hello with people would be awesome. I'll be the tall guy in a red shirt.

It sounds cliche to say trust the training and you got this, but both are true.
It also took just 8 minutes at almost 11pm at prime marathon sleeping time for a string of positivity to show up. This group is amazing. Hope to see some of you today.

Meeting place is close to purple food truck in area before you head to start corrals. Lee will have a “DIS” sign

 

[camaker]

The meet-up yesterday was near the food trucks situated between the bag check and stage. There should be a tall guy (@lhermiston) there holding a "DIS" SIGN.

Not sleeping well is totally normal before a marathon. And one night's sleep does not define your capability to finish the race. You are strong and determined and you can do this! You will be a marathoner!

Omg, first marathon, here I go!

 

[Baloo in MI]

Good luck to all! Mantra: continual movement forward, I can do this!

Wishing you all the best!

FYI - They have the blue/white jackets in the merch tent. There's already a huge line of people waiting for the tent to open

 

[FredtheDuck]

Good luck to all the runners today! Can’t wait for the recaps.

 

[furiated]

If they end up cutting the course, I'm totally counting 2 days of long corral walkouts in my total mileage

Where’s the merch tent?

 

[lookingforsunshine]

I am already hot. It was nice to briefly meet some of you this morning. Good luck to everyone!
