During the race, I did have green ribbons tied to the ends of my braided pigtails and said hi to some Wishers I saw along the way. I talked to one of you with a WISH shirt on before we were going onto the circle on ramp. I definitely need to order a WISH shirt next time orders come around.
I was pretty close to someone in a WISH shirt the whole time... I'm not sure who, though. Suzanne? Maybe. Anyway, she looked familiar and had on a WISH shirt. I yelled, "GO WISH!" at her around mile 4.5 and I was wearing a purple shirt.
I saw some WISHers on the sideline at some point that I yelled at, too. I don't have any WISH stuff so I think they thought I was nuts.
That was me!!!! I remember you telling me you had green ribbons in your hair for Wish!
The longest finish time I saw on the official results was 4:03, and it appears that people on here saw people swept?
Does anyone know the official count of how many started the race?
Yes people were definitely swept. One of my friends who did the race was swept around mile 8, she did not finish but I am totally proud of her!!
Blakely,
I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to meet you at POR - there was only the one WISH meet going on at Port Orleans that I know of, and time you see a WISHer you see wearing a WISH shirt or hat, we're wearing it because we want to meet other WISHers! Goodness knows, it is not the most flattering color.
The thing about the WISH team in general is: if you want to be part of the group, WISHers are always happy to meet and include other WISHers, whether or not you are wearing green, whether or not we've encountered each other on-line and whether or not it's a big meet or just a few of us in a park or even Jellyrolls. Meeting someone at a race or a meet is often the start of new friendships, so please, in the future come on up and say hello!
Here are my photos from the Princess Meet:
This is sick and twisted but now I am looking for another race. Not sure if I want to do a 5K, a 10K, or a half? Only bad thing is that I live in NC and it gets HOT down here starting next month...

I am signed up for the Disneyland Half that is in September (Labor Day weekend). I'm in New Orleans and it gets HOT down here too. Summer should be fun...
And yes, sick and twisted....I just want that Coast to Coast medal!
I don't have any pics, but a spinoff of this question...what do we expect them to do with the leftover merch? I didn't purchase anything at the Expo expecting to be able to get stuff after the race (rookie mistake). I tried to make it thru the merch tent after the race but it was so crowded I gave up.Anyone happen to have a picture/pictures of the official merchandise section at the expo? I was going to try to call Disney Merchandising or one of the local stores and see if I could phone order a leftover shirt, but I wanted to refresh my memory as to which ones were there. I think I was leaning toward getting the tank top, but I want to be sure I have a good description of it on the phone. Thanks!

Hi all,
We were at WDW from 3/3-3/7, and (obviously) saw lots of gals running around with medals on Sunday... and I was super jealous. I'm not a runner, or an athlete at ALL, but I started training today for Princess 2011.
I walked/ran for 45 minutes today... 3.4 miles. It felt good!
