I'd bet that's what the shirt looks like. Color is the question. Pink? Purple? Or white? But I bet that's the logo for the front.

After the hills, I believe it is still another 2 miles. That is where the announcer says your names and you are on video and then you still have to go through Epcot. I just remember feeling like the last mile took forever lol

Me and my best friend are training together as a team for the Princess. We got corralled into B but she got injured (IT band) shortly after entering in a 10k for proof of time back in the fall. We went from running full miles with one minute breaks to now doing 7minutes of light jogging followed by one minute of rest. We're worried about the sweepers. It mentions those in corral B are expected to finish around the 2:30 mark. But given our current training regimen we are mostly likely going to finish sometime shortly after the three hour mark. Do we have time to stop and take photos or are we running the risk of being swept if we don't stick to the 2:30 mark for our corral?

I think you will be fine. We started in C last year, did 2/1 intervals most of the way and took a load of pictures and had 2 potty stops. I think our overall time was 3:20. So, based on that, you should be all good!

The furthest both of us have gone is 10 miles and I felt pretty good at the end of it and my last 10 miler I ran more than I ever had mostly because I just wanted to get it over with. How bad are the three hills at the end? I have felt good about it the entire time and all of a sudden I am panicking. I really want to enjoy this and not worry so much.

You are golden. Race day adrenaline will see you through. (And I'm 42, so rest assured!). Ten miles is great, and the overpass, while steep, really doesn't go on for long. Relax-you'll do great!

Okay fellow Princesses...has anybody eaten at Kona Cafe for dinner ? I've read some not so good reviews about the food on the new menu and wanted to see if any of you had eaten there lately. Right now we are scheduled to eat there PHM night.

For anyone worried about the hills...they are not that bad. If you have trained you are ready and will rock it!

Just tsaw a tweet that Sean Astin will be in the race. You think they will make him start in Corral C? So excited....i mean I probably won't see him, but cool he is going for C2C!

Last time I ate there was 12/11. Everything that my family had was great (as usual) However I "branched out" and ordered something new. (the noodles) Those...not so good.

I saw him at Tink last month. He was at the RunDisney booth taking photos. I also saw him taking pictures with fans during the race.

Funny you should ask about Kona! A bunch of us solo Princesses are eating there on Friday for dinner. 😃 I last ate there in 11/12 and had the steak and it was awesome.
