Official 2016 5th Anniversary Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

That was.. an interesting experience. I've never been in a race where 80% of the people walk the whole way? Corrals seemed a bit crowded.

BUT.... had a great time and got the 1:22 finish time. Two minutes slower than I'd hoped but despite the rain and myriad of walkers, I think it's pretty darn good :)

Great job on the time! Did you stop for any photos?

I did not - too long of lines and I kept trying to move forward. :rotfl:

I think corral D got a bit backed up once B and C hit the bridge going over the freeway at the start line. I've never seen it where people are just forced to walk out of the start line and you keep walking for a bit. it took until mile 3 for things to really spread out and get the runners away from the walkers. This wasn't a "stop and enjoy" type of race for us, sadly. We needed a good POT for Dumbo Double Dare (which hubs and I both got - yay thanks Disney!). Going forward we will be enjoying the ambiance of the park and taking lots of pics with characters.
 
And unless someone beats me to it, I'll be starting the 2017 thread soon. I have unfinished business with Tink weekend! ::yes::

Ariel- I think I saw you at the 10k yesterday. I wanted to come up and say hi, but then I was thinking "if it's not, someone is going to be really confused" and that would be quite awkward! o_O

Aw man!! This was me...I've gotten to meet @Mimsy Borogove and @MommaoffherRocker this weekend (and gave @Keels a high-five on the course today) - lots of DISmeets this weekend!

What is up with the woman's leader board. If you click on leaderboard, the first few were running 13 minute miles, then all of a sudden they finish with 5 minute miles. Also, if you look at their splits, they didn't even register a time at the 10k and 15k splits.

So interesting, we saw the girl running to the finish when we were behind the cars ride (we were on the other side of the course) and she had a bicycle escort so I am sure Disney will catch it.
