You've got it right.

...

Thanks again for always updating/publishing this data. Now, can I go 1:44:04 for the Fall Equinox Half... :scared:
 
LOL, I said something similar yesterday. I was trying to get in for the 10K but after an hour and a half of trying, I had to head to work and it of course sold out. I kinda left it up to chance yesterday as my heart was not 100% sold on running that weekend. However, now I guess I'll JUST be striving for the half marathon!

CHARITIES..... I have not seen ANYTHING on registering with a charity. That was my backup plan for the 10K. Does anyone have any intel on that??? Maybe they are waiting this year to post registration with charities until some more races sell out??
I run for a charity. If you are interested, PM me. You need to commit raise a certain amount of money.
 
As of right now, I would be in E. With my actual goal I have for my September Half I would be in C. But B just sounds better.

My stretch goal for the full is 4:30 (secondaries are 5 and finish it) and I'm sitting on a 2:10:09 proof of time right now. My A race for that was going to be in about two weeks.

They let me run 10 miles this week.

I'm still holding out hope to run the race in two weeks but I may not be pushing for a new time.

There is a new requirement for charity bibs requiring hotel & ticket purchases. Team Up Autism Speaks has 10K bibs with a $500 fundraising commitment.
 
So my POT is a 2:13:38 half. That should put me in corral D for Dopey, right?

As an unofficial guess, yes. Or more valuably about 25% of the field in corrals ahead of you for the marathon and 20% for the HM based on 2018 data.

Sorry if this has been asked already, this thread jumped by 20+ pages in a matter of days. For Dopey corral placement, you need to submit only one POT (the one corresponding to the Marathon requirements)? Then, that will determine where you’ll be in all four races? So I better stop improving my shorter distance time and concentrate on my half, right?
Last year, for WnD TwoCC, I was able to choose different projected time for the 10k and the Half and had ended up in B/C.

Correct. One POT when registering for Dopey (or HM, M, Goofy). For Dopey, it can be a 10 miler, HM, or Marathon.

That POT will determine placement for the HM/M (if they keep the same system as year's prior). They did add an "estimated pace" for Dopey runners 5k/10k (like your W/D experience) which is new and best guess means the POT is no longer being used for 5k/10k corral placement. I can't be certain how they plan to handle that. Best guess is no verification of any kind and placement in corrals just like other solo event 5k/10k runners. Faster estimated pace = Earlier corral. I can't say whether there will be any type of verification system for a 2:30 HM POT runner to say they will run the 5k in 7:00 min/mile pace (and be near the first corral) for Dopey runners. The data is there based on the POT submitted to verify the likelihood of a 5k/10k time, but my gut instinct is whatever you put = corral placement. This is unlike solo event 5k/10k runners who only submit an estimated pace and will be slotted solely by that information. Best choice is to be honest about estimated pace (regardless of where it may or may not place you corral wise).

For the sole purpose of improving corral placement, then yes focus on running a POT 10 miler or HM. Although based on individual data, some do improve their HM time based on training around shorter distance races.
 
For those of you who (like me) registered for your first marathon this week... Have your runs felt different ever since? I feel like I have a bigger purpose, a new goal. In less than 6 months I will be a marathoner. It’s all very exciting!

Congrats on taking the big step! Having that goal definitely helps me get out the door and not procrastinate a run away. And remember that no one can take being a marathoner away from you once you've done it!
 
For those of you who signed up for the NYC virtual marathon, you should have received an email last week allowing you to access a free training plan for the race. Check it out. It is adaptive. You put in your current mileage and pace and it builds a plan for you. But because it is adaptive, it adjusts your goal pace for each training run based on how you are handling the runs if you sync with Strava.

You also have email access to coaches and there is a great deal of material to discuss exactly what they want you to try to accomplish on each training run. By far the best online training plan that I have ever used.
 
Remember when I said that I was only making one dining reservation for the weekend? Two more have been added since :rotfl2:

This is me. I wasn't going to make any ADRs at all. Then @mateojr's polite requests resulted in Via, then Le Cellier and then San Angel. It's going the same way for our DL trip next month - so I'm relatively easy to convince. :)

What did you book?
