Expedition Everest Challenge - Who's Going? Who's Running? Want to Meet? - Page 14

Did anyone notice they are offering a bag check where you can bring a change of clothes or anything else you may need for after the race? You check it in at the beginning of the race and they'll have it ready for pick up at the finish line / party area.

I was thinking I wanted to go back to the hotel to shower and change but realizing we may be challenging those time limits thus get to the party later, I hate the idea of missing out on the party time. This bag check and a little bathroom time will get me feeling fresh enough to enjoy the night time everest ride(s) I am so looking forward to.

I plan on changing clothes too. I'll either put them in my checked bag or keep them in the car. Haven't decided yet.

I think I'm wearing my shirt after the race. But who knows.

I'm packing cheerleader pom poms, glow bracelets for everyone, and a couple of those light-up wands the Dream Team sold. No way our team of runners is going to miss seeing us!

You sanity depends on what time of year it is. If it's before MagicMeets then it's really questionable.

Save some bracelets for me for after the race.

Does the cheer section know where they are standing yet?

Cool! I have to be at the start of the race because I couldn't get a bracelet for the party (not running and all). I plan to wear my new shirt - assuming it arrives in time since I just ordered it - to the Flametree and to the start of the race.

**disneydame2004** · 09-15-2008, 04:13 PM

My shirts arrived today! They look great!

mini-V · 09-15-2008, 05:11 PM

My shirt arrived today too! Unfortunately I started writing all my appointments in my pda... and I'm double booked for the race! Drat! I won't be able to get over the to race till at least 7:30. grrrr I still have plans to get to the Flametree earlier in the day.

We'll figure it out, V. The final race instructions showed the finish is now inside AK at Dinoland, but the obstacle course is still in the parking lot. So we'll figure out a way to get a good spot for seeing and cheering that part on together!

lorilovestigger · 09-15-2008, 06:42 PM

That's the part I'm going need the most cheering on.

I can always count on you, Pat, to look out for me.

After a day without power/water yesterday and no internet access today intil just minutes ago, I have finally ordered our T-Shirts! (Hats too!)

We are planning on wearing them during the race so that the WDWRadio Team can show a united presence during the race!

It is nice to know I'll have "sea of blue" company in the back!

The only way my hubby could wear one after the race is if we bought extra shirts! (Trust me, you want him to have a clean shirt on after the race!

)

As far as a call.... I think we should leave that up to each individual.
