Princess Weekend 2023 (Feb 23-26, 2023)

[Naomeri]

While I know not everyone is a fan the highway miles, I honestly love them (except for the ramps) because I can just do my thing and not worry about people banging into me (except for the chick just after the Epcot entrance or whatever who said “on your right” while shoulder-checking me on my left )

I just saw a 10k medal in HS. Very cool

 

[DopeyBadger]

32nd overall and 4th AG. As expected there were some fast runners. I would have to have gone sub-38 to get 3rd. I finished in 42:53 which is a bit slower than last year but it was warmer this morning than last. Body feels good though. Temps are supposed to be lower tomorrow. So we’ll see.

Hi Everyone, My wife picked up some extra merch that we are going to return tonight as she had a change of mind (including some for me). Before returning, I wanted to see if there was anyone here who may have not been able to make the expo in time or there was an item sold out (we got there very early on Day 1). Disboards has always been good to us so happy to help out. We are staying on property and meet up.

Princess brings some fast runners. I placed 215 overall and 7th in my age group. 3rd place ran 45:57

I was excited to see that Neely Gracey is running this weekend - I’ve followed her for a while, and she’s had 2 kids in recent years. She crushed the 10k today!

I am hoping that in another 20 to 25 years that I’m still running and can place in my age group…

I am looking for a half marathon medal replica pin!

 

[lookingforsunshine]

I won’t make it to the meetup bc my parents are coming today but have fun! I really really hope the stars align so I can tmrw before the half!

What is a realistic time corral C will be released tomorrow morning?

 

[LoveOlaf]

Has anyone ever sped walk and let themselves get swept early? Covid did a number on my body- just tested negative less than 2 weeks ago. Debating doing that for half versus just not going in morning since I paid for it? Don't want to risk running and doing damage to my body since I have other races this year when I can train back up to speed where I was.

We are here on site for another 7 days for park fun so just curious

 

[nancipants]

I have to say, the towels after the race were a GODSEND.

 

[cburnett11]

Does anyone know who that character was right before the end? It’s probably something I should know, but I do not.

I haven’t personally, but I have read stories of people being swept fairly early in the race. So you could walk until you are swept, stay safe, and then they’ll shuttle you to the finish. They will also offer you the HM medal if you want it.

What is a realistic time corral C will be released tomorrow morning?

With an on time start of 5:00am and a usual release rate, somewhere around 5:08-5:12 is a good guess for the front of C and maybe as late as 5:30 for the back. Corral C, as a guess from prior races using similar estimate structure, has about 30-35% of the field.

I randomly was next to 3 youngsters in my corral. I asked if they were on a cross country team and found out they were from my hometown. They finished 2, 4, and 10.

Depends on just how well you’re feeling and how fast you can walk. A decent walk is faster than a 16 minute mile, which means that if you are up for the distance, you can do it walking without getting swept.

Thanks, 2nd place in my age group! 1/2 marathon won’t be as good tomorrow, heat was getting to me by the time I was going into HS.

 

[Naomeri]

I was 10,980 overall, 1,674 in AG, and 9,129 among women. I was 17 minutes slower than last year, but I felt better overall. I’m excited for tomorrow.
