Marathon Weekend 2020

[jeremy1002]

Curious as to what everyone’s smart watch shows as their mileage for the full marathon. My Apple Watch Nike+ shows I ran 26.7

26.45 for me, down from 26.61 in my other WDW in 2017.

My Garmin 645 said I ran 28.46 for the full. I ran with the goof troop roving road party and my watch was way off by mile 1. I had been having issues with it for the last couple of months so I retired it and bought a Fenix 6s Pro.

For the first time I was under with 25.96. But have suspected my Apple Watch is smoothing too much resulting in reporting less than what I run since the November update. All four races for MW were under. Tried resetting but no luck. I run with my phone in a belt which is suppose to help with the accuracy.

Garmin forerunner 235 put me at 26.81. Started in corral B, one restroom stop, and 14 character pictures, I believe.

Garmin forerunner here. 26.8 in the full; 13.4 in the half.

Apple Watch - 27.1, nothing like running an extra mile in the heat

26.97 via my Garmin...hitting a mile on my watch, and having to run another 1/2 mile to get to the mile marker was kind of torture!

That's one thing I hate about Disney! I'm too busy watching everything to pay attention to the tangents.

I called the PhotoPass number the other day, since my Horace Horsecollar photo is missing from the half. Spoke with a very pleasant man who told me to fill out the online request form and they'd look for it. He told me that they took 1.35 million photographs during the 4 main races + the kids races. This does include the pre and post race photos, but not photos from the expo. I think he said they took 300,000 more photographs than ever before for MW.
Could be like getting information/rumors from a bus driver, but thought I'd post it here.

My Garmin said I did 26.44. I think I would have been less, but I started around corral E/F runners (I think) since I was stuck on a bus and missed the beginning. This caused me to do more early weaving than I would have liked. I was supposed to be in Corral A.

I ran 44.07 kilometres = 27.38 miles including 40 picture stops and over 12 bathroom breaks.

ETA: Counting them made me feel really good about my time as those stops can easily add two hours to a race!

12 bathroom breaks? Now I don’t feel so bad about my ridiculous 6. I don’t usually need to stop for the restroom at all during races (half marathon or shorter). But, we all know this race was special.

I don't know how anyone had anything liquid to evacuate from their bodies during the marathon, I drank 2 cups (1 water / 1 Powerade) at every station and was still dehydrated.

Electrolytes. I carried my 16 oz handheld and drank a total of 32 oz of nuun endurance and 64 oz of nuun sport.

I had two cups of water and two cups of Powerade at every water station and stopped approximately 100 times to use a portopotty or tree. I had never gone to the bathroom before a race prior to this year's half and full, but they were also the two hottest half and full marathons I've ever run, by a decent margin.

It is totally unusual for me too... Was there a lot more water/electrolytes stations than planned? I was drinking both at everyone of them plus filling my bottle.

 

[dtrain]

Stopping to use the port-o-potty was something I couldn't do since I was trying to hit a sub 3 for this run, so I erred on the side of caution...I mean dehydration

I think I witnessed you coming back on course after a “nature break” right before AK somewhere during the marathon lol. I looked to see if there was a character stop back there because I was hot and a little slow on the uptake at that point.

That was a memorable stop! I ran through a ditch to get to the portopotty and the ditch had about four inches of what I hope was water. I had soaked and squeaky shoes for the rest of the race.
