Marathon Weekend 2018

First off, thank you everyone for your kind words on the loss of my fur baby yesterday! There are too many people who tagged or quoted or mentioned me, plus too much activity with bibs and corrals, for me to go back and name you all but know it was all greatly appreciated!

@Dis_Yoda thank you so much! Hopefully we can both get past the crying soon. Your story helped me so much in making the decision for my Spock so thank you for posting that, even though I know it was hard. *hugs*

Ok, gonna move forward and think good thoughts for a while!

ETA: DD28 (Lynae, who is also following a @DopeyBadger training plan) will be with me in all the same corrals, staying together for the 5k, 10k and half and doing our own thing in the marathon. But it will be nice to hang out with her in the corral before the marathon starts. I was awfully lonely last year. :)

Has anyone calculated corral sizes from adding up each chart? I got B for the half, which adds up (Dopey+Goofy+Half) to 1567. The full for B (Dopey+Goofy+Full) is 1,861.

Ammeding my form, because I am going to start in H with RBF. Nothing can be changed from her forgetting to submit her POT, but bottom line is I want to do this race with her. I'm hoping for some party "back of the bus" vibes in H! :crazy:

Corral B for half/full.

Looks like my Dopey plans may be changing. My mom's health has taken a sudden turn for the worst and not sure a long trip is going to happen for me. But you do what you have to do.

I'm following the 'trust your training' guideline. In this case the 'training' is 50+ years in a loving family.

sooooo many pages in a few hours....has anyone asked why they reduced the total number of corrals? I guess there will be waves in each corral

I speculate that it has something (not completely) to do with corral jumpers. Fewer corrals with fewer entrances only leads to less opportunities to jump. For the folks who would try to jump up to the next corral, now they only need to be there early. Those who try to jump to B/C from the back are going to do it regardless how many corrals there are....

Praying for you and your family in what I know is a hard time! Family is everything and Disney will always be there later.
