Got my cousin in, so I suppose we’ll be doing the 10k.
I hit the link a few minutes before 9 pacific time and was all done registering her by 35 after. Very stressful bc I was on mobile with the phone in the holder thing, driving my son across town to his ballet intensive, hoping the browser would take me somewhere when we were physically at a decent place to pull over! Thankfully it did exactly that, as we got to the studio and a parking spot was right there.
the registration links are live.
If I’d known it was live just as my alarm went off to get ready to register, I would have been happier! Wish I’d checked here.
I was in line for approx 25 minutes. But only 3 minutes after registration opened at noon.
*edit* 15 minutes
Nice!
Quick question: This is the first race I’ve done where the race retreat is an option. What is it and is it worth it?
It’s for the Half. It’s a big tent that’s supposed to be more pleasant than being outside (heated if it’s cold, ac if it’s not). There’s food like bagels and coffee before the event, you have your own smaller bag check, and they usually have a gift like socks or something. After the event there’s warm food, massage therapists you can pay cash to for short massages, some characters, and so on.
I did it for my first half, because I was highly post-run-food dependent, where if I didn’t eat something fast my stomach would shut down for most of the day and I’d be weak and sick. I had my aunt watching my son, and she is anti-running, and I needed to look human when I got back to the room.
As it turned out I got dreadfully sick days before the event (two days after my flight) so I *really* needed the food as I’d barely been able to eat before.
It also gave me a chair to sit on while pulling off my compression socks, which, it turned out, had a right and a left side and I put them on opposite in the dark lol.
Nowadays I’m slower so it would be closing shortly after I got there. Not worth it for me right now. Plus I’m not doing the half this year.
Does anyone know if you can get the AP Princess Logo Pin at the Race Expo? Or is that a specific pre-order only?
No one will really know until expo. If you’re interested, buy it. If you hate it, there are many places online to sell princess merchandise.
