Marathon Weekend 2025

[PrincessV]

Too soon to fire whoever decided playing an approximately 4-song crooner/americana soundtrack on repeat for the whole race was a good idea? Or should they get until the end of the race?

I’d bet it’s the same person who elected to put “Ice, Ice Baby” on nonstop repeat during last year’s marathon. The whole field yell-singing “ROLLIN’, IN MY 5.0, WITH THE RAGTOP DOWN SO MY HAIR CAN BLOW” sounded a lot less enthusiastic by mile 26.

About #bibgate, one of my friends asked at the tables this morning.

For the marathon, it’s a small number of full bibs affected in the 16s/17s. I'm in the 11s so I should be good

I think I'm in the 16s for the full, but haven't yet picked up my bib. I'll be sure to double check when at the expo. Thx for the heads-up!

The baloonlady alert threads account I follow posted due to the bib issues they couldn’t post for the 10k but would try to post for the half/full

If so, that would be awesome

So I haven't seen *anyone* in this building walking to the races. Might have been wrong about this, but it's something they should consider! Would be nice to be guaranteed to be on the same sleep schedule as my neighbors.

What's really weird is when your extremely eclectic running playlist also has songs in that genre and you get 2 different ones playing at the same time. I had Jerry Lee Lewis singing "Good Golly Miss Molly" in my headphones and singing "Great Balls of Fire" on the course (coincidently, this is the song that my playlist shuffled to when I started it yesterday), and later I had Sinatra singing "Luck Be A Lady" in my headphones while he was singing "You Make Feel So Young" on course.

I can see my 10K results for my Dopey bib 219XX, so some results are coming through

The road will be closed, so they will need to take a race bus. Check the digital expo guide for transportation times and spectator guidance. MK gets crowded so they'll want to make their way there plenty early.

There are no pacers for the 10k


I am dopey and haven’t gotten any emails yet. I have, however, gotten my anxiety fired up. I’m usually ok until hm/m night but apparently this year it’s going to start with sleep for the 10k. Uuuugh.

I’m with you. Had sleep issues my first dopey for the longer two, and this year it’s all of them?! Taking the nap of all naps today so I have something in the sleep bank before tonight

My favorite coach workout note of the training cycle:

Big Breakfast Day

Today is BIG breakfast, pancake day!!

Pancakes, toast, eggs -> Eat until you are full and then EAT MORE. This is the time you need to stuff yourself. Eat lots of carbs here.

My results for both 5k and 10k are showing up.

Mission accepted!

Weird, I have no 5K results. I wonder if some person near me still had Mylar yesterday? I thought everyone got rid of it, but I could be wrong.

Today was my 4th fastest Disney 10K by moving time, and 2nd fastest by overall time. Also my 2nd longest Disney 10K by distance, as measured by my watch.

Today was my slowest ever 10k. We started in A, hit every character stop plus an unofficial one or two, and finished in 2:28.

Things you cannot make up:
Went to get on the bus to Epcot and noticed someone walking around behind a bus recording with their phone. And a bus just sitting in the driveway behind that bus (left the stop, but not out of the bus loop if that makes sense.)

Seems that first bus rear-ended a car. Or the car cut the bus off. Or something. And then a THIRD bus pulled into the loop.

Well this morning was interesting. I came out fine but had an issue at the start when my bike decided to take three tries before it began to rotate. Maybe the cold since I didn’t have that problem starting from a stop again. Still don’t know what that was. Felt bad for the wheels behind me. Who I knew wanted to go. And I had placed myself forward since while I knew I’m not a front pack for us over the long. I do tend to come out of the start very fast and didn’t want to have problems with another wheels.

Two different people had flats. One while at the start. And I watched one of our other wheels crash on the downhill after mile 1. She’s got a bruised rib but is otherwise okay. Attached the vid because it’s a good example of why it’s good to heed our warnings. I watched the leg of the guy that wasn’t moving and thus caused the crash since she had nowhere to go. Get hit by one of her side wheels.

Please remember on the narrow section on downhills that are warnings are as important as ever. We don’t stop on dimes (I only was able to pull up right next to her because I applied my brake as soon as I saw it happen.) and collisions is a disaster for both sides.

That’s good to hear! I’m in the 11’s also. Debating if I should go to the expo to check….

Same. Nothing by name or bib # for DH or I. I do see my marathon bib. Maybe that means it’s good!
