Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K -- Oct. 27, 2007

Stan4dSteph · 04-05-2007, 01:54 PM

Okay, who's up for this? I seriously want to do this! It's only 13K (8.1 miles)!

Nighttime race! Glow in the dark shirts! Post-event party with rides on ToT and RnR!

That looks very cool. I need to see if I survive the Disneyland 5K then I can think about something else. If my shin splints don't improve the 5K is mighty long enough.

Am I allowed to drive the route?

Let's see, 8.1 miles, my recent best effort for one mile was 9 minutes, that would mean I would finish that course......dead.

9 minutes/mile is a lot faster than I go.

Oh, I know that's not exactly marathon pace. But even slowed down, unless I walk a large portion of it, I don't have the stamina to manage much more than a couple miles, even it a sloooow jog. Stupid asthma.

I still do mostly run/walk. You might try that strategy for longer runs. I have been trying to go longer without walking, but I did the marathon on 8 minutes run/2 walk.

My asthma has gotten a lot better as an adult, but I still use my inhaler before I go for a run. That helps me a lot. Sorry to hear yours is such a bother.

I have a feeling registration for this will fill up quickly once it opens. I may combine this with a ticket to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and make it a weekend.

Greg, if you can run a decent time for a few miles you could walk the rest and still finish within the limits.

Flying cross country for a 13K is pretty much out of the question (especially with another run two months later).
