Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K -- Oct. 27, 2007 - Page 8

GusGus · 10-24-2007, 11:35 PM

So, when I saw the title of this thread I thought "Cool - marathon ride event! Stay on ToT until you drop 13k! What a cool idea!"

Imagine my shock and disappointment when I realized it was a race.

I mean, that would take actual effort.

Maybe I'll go ride Tower 13 times instead.

There will be NO transfers of race registrations. You are unable to switch races since capacity has been reached for each race.

Well, that answers that question.

It's over! Finished! Didn't get picked up for going too slowly.

I hope Steph will be by when she gets home to say more.

VERY COOL, MF!!!!

Yes! Congratulations again to Matterhorn Fan and HTHBellCaptain!

I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time together, but it was great seeing you before the race and after as well.

My trip was really fun, although the race itself was a bit disappointing. There was a huge traffic nightmare getting into the race, which was probably intensified by miscommunication from race organizers about transportation to and from the race. Apparently sometime between Thursday and Saturday night, someone came to their senses and decided to provide bus transport after the race, but we had already committed to renting a car and driving there.

The weather was gross, with super-high humidity, making the going a bit tough at times. I was hoping there would be more entertainment out along the route. Early on there were some people dressed in white shirts and pants who were supposed to be escaped mental patients I think. There were a couple of spots where music was being played, but mostly it was a lot of quiet, dark spaces. There was very little talking going on where I was, probably because it was so hot and humid. Usually there's some chatter among the runners.

I ended up with a good race time though, and the medal is very cool. Our post-race ToT ride was fun and we got a good ride photo. I'll have to share that as soon as I get a copy.

Awesome, congrats to both of you! Sorry about the logistic nightmares, Steph, that kind of thing drives me nuts.
