Last year, I was in G when G was the last corral. This year, I’m in H which has 2 corrals behind it. What is interesting is the time gaps. There’s a huge gap in Corral H. I wonder why that is. There’s a 5 minute difference in times between Corrals A and B, B and C, C and D, D and E, E and F. Then, there’s a 15 minute gap between F and G. But the time gap between G and H is a whopping 45 minutes. Then, a 12 minute gap between H and I. It seems like runDisney could have broken the corrals down a little different. I mean, those that barely missed out on Corral G would have had an average pace of more than 3 minutes per mile (over the half marathon distance) than those that barely escaped Corral I. That’s a pretty big gap in comparison to all the others. It seems like there should be at least one more corral by breaking up Corral H in half.
Anyhow, I am happy to be able to run with 2 corrals behind mine this year. I just find it interesting that one corral has such a large gap in time.
It is HUGE! I noticed that as well. Last year I was in D and it was a mega corral- looks like H is the new D. Tip: show up REALLY early to get the close up corral spot or REALLY late and there may be such a big road block they create an H1 and H2 corral like they did last year. I was in the first of the D corral last year because we showed up way to late to file into the that mega corral. It was really bad. I gotta wonder what they were thinking setting it up again like this. Ugh.
I noticed the same thing with the time! I wonder why they did that!
Last year I was corral D and this year I am G (with a faster time). I did the math based on bib numbers-there will be about 6300 people in front of me, 2900 in my corral and 10,400 behind me! That corral H will be massive!
Yeah it will. And I’m in H! lol
seems like H is the popular corral; i’m in there, too! my predicted finish time was 2:32, and i was kind of surprised to see i was in a corral with finish times up to 3:13. at first i was a little miffed that it wasn’t broken up as evenly as the other corrals, but i can’t change it. i just plan to get there super early to be at the front of the corral; hooray for eating in the corral haha
Also in H and a little miffed since I am less than a minute from being in G. Also concerned I will be no where near the 2:30 pacer when trying to squeeze to the front of a corral with people expecting to finish over forty minutes after me 🙁
