2013 WDW Marathon shirt swap - The DIS Discussion Forums

2chinooks · 01-22-2013, 07:52 AM

I have a size large tech shirt (blue long sleeve) and would like to switch with someone for a medium. I have worn the shirt once. Anyone interested in an exchange?

Good luck - hope you get a swap. Shirts ran huge; I went to the expo at about 4pm on Saturday and was lucky enough to get a swap for my 1/2 shirt. There was a line at 4pm waiting for marathon smalls, I think. The expo closed and that line was still there.

Good luck.
I compared my small from last year (fits great) to my small from this year and this year's it is a whole size larger. Never gave it a thought after I picked it up, I threw it aside knowing I wouldn't wear it until after the race.

It's so frustrating when over the half the participants are women, yet we can't get shirts that fit!

The worst part is I had a medium, but exchanged it without trying it on!!! My last race shirt is a large and fits so I figured the medium would be tight

And they made a point to mention that many times. DISNEY and RUNDISNEY: give us women's-cut race shirts!!!

And while we're on this topic, I think they could have chosen a better color for the 1/2 shirt. The blazing yellow doesn't do much for me, not to mention you can barely read the white sponsor labels. :sunny

I liked the yellow,the one that didn't do much for me was the orange for the Goofy.I just ran the marathon so I got the blue which I liked,every day that goes on the more inclined I am to try the Goofy next year,3 medals and 3 shirts is pretty enticing.

That's what I said!

Who looks good in Livestrong yellow besides someone with dark hair and skin? I'm blonde and I'm not thrilled with that yellow but I am proud enough of the accomplishment that I wear it. DH loved it (his fav colors are bright yellow and orange) He was kicking himself for not doing the Goofy.

I got a medium and it is BIG. I do not care for a women's cut though, they tend to run smaller and tight. And it leaves us wondering, will next years shirts be cut this way or back to smaller?

I forgot that I had put small on my registration and I was worried the 3 shirts would be too small. I am glad I did because they fit pretty well, except the sleeves are too long on me.

I am not a fan of the womens cut shirts either, for those of us with more "endowments" they really are tough to fit right.
