Hello all! I'm excited that we're getting so close to February and the PHM.
This will be my very first Disney race and I have a couple of questions for those of you that have run them before.
I submitted a Half Marathon time back when I registered. My hubby is running the Half with me, but he has never run a race before. I'm also running the 10K.
I know that we'll have to be placed in the last corral for the PHM since he hasn't submitted a prior race time. Here are my questions...
1. About how many people do you believe are in the last corral?
2. How do I make sure that we're at the very front of the last corral?
3. I know buses start running at 3:30am. Do you all catch the buses right then?
4. I've heard that from drop off to the starting line is a LONG walk. Do you immediately line up in your corral as soon as you get there?
5. Regarding pictures along the course...do you think we'll have time to stop for a few of my favorite characters if we're in the last corral? I can usually maintain a 12 min mile, but I'm worried I'll get stuck in a huge crowd and miss out!
6. Do you all carry cameras or do you rely on your smart phones for pix during the race?
Sorry for all of the questions. We're just getting down to the nitty gritty. I'm a planner and I want to allow for the best experience ever in hopes that I'll be able to do another (Wine & Dine
) some day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
