Goals for the race:
- Under 1:30. I'll be really freaking upset if I don't hit this goal.
- Realistic: 1:27. This is what I really want.
- Over and above: sub 1:27. I'll be really freaking happy if I hit this goal.
I just don't have a lot to base my times off of, so really these goals are based off of what some of you girls have run - very scientific :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get into an early wave. You had to put down an expected finish time and I put 1:27. Then you had to put a recent race result, and I don't have a recent 1/2 marathon time. So I ended up writing some little monologue about what my time was in my last 1/2 ironman and then a recent 5K time. I hope it worked. Based on last years times, if I can run a 1:27, I should be in the top 10 (or around there).
I was just reading the final race instructions and nothing gets you excited like these words: "If you are driving to the start line, please plan to arrive by 4:00 am!"
Yup, you read that correctly. First wave goes off at 5:40 am, and they want you there EARLY.

If ever there were a good reason to miss my birthday party, this would be it! I mean do you really need to enter a race just to go to Disney?
I say you ditch the race and ride space mountain for an hour! Have fun, and I know you'll blast 1:30 and 1:27!
Go Bri! You can do it. It looks like the weather is going to stay nice and brisk for your PR attempt!

Goodluck Bri!! I am now ashamed at my goal time for my upcoming half:(!!
Go, Bri! Have fun nailing those goals. I predict that you are going to smoke it.
Good luck, have fun, and run fast past Mickey!
Good luck! I couldn't get into the half marathon last year so I did the marathon and dropped out at the half way point but I think it's on the same course as the half. It's super fast and flat. And getting to the start is a long, long walk but I don't remember it being terrible.
You'll do great! Looking forward to reading your race report.
