\"Virtual<\/a><\/p>\n

I am participating in a virtual runDisney Blog Hop for the upcoming Princess Half Marathon.\u00a0 I’m here to write about race results!<\/p>\n

For newcomers: What are race results?\u00a0 Why, they’re how you did in the race.\u00a0 Yes, each and every runner gets timed.\u00a0 Disney uses B-tags to time you.\u00a0 A B-tag is basically a chip on the back of your bib that registers every time you cross a timing mat.\u00a0 For results, the important timing mats are the one at the start line and the one at the finish line.<\/p>\n

That means that you’re timed from when you start, not from when anyone else starts.<\/p>\n

If you want instant results, I recommend signing up for Runner Tracking<\/a>.\u00a0 (Note – as of this writing, runner tracking for the race is not yet available, but it will be soon.)\u00a0 With runner tracking, you can have your results and your split times (meaning every time you cross one of those timing mats along the course) sent to your email or phone, and you can post them to Facebook or Twitter as well.\u00a0 Or you can do all four!<\/p>\n

Anyone can sign up for tracking for any runner, so if you have friends or family who wan to track your race but you don’t want to post it on Facebook or Twitter, they can sign up as well and get a little alert as you are on your way.<\/p>\n

Note that sometimes, Runner Tracking isn’t perfect.\u00a0 Occasionally, you won’t get alerts for someone because the system gets bogged down.\u00a0 But for the most part, it’s worked for me.<\/p>\n

For the half marathon, last year, the timing mats were at the start, 5k, 10k, 15k, and finish.\u00a0 I’m guessing they will be the same this year.\u00a0 While the 10k is new this year, the 10k in January had mats at the start, 5k and finish.<\/p>\n

If you don’t sign up for tracking, after the race, the results will be available on the runDisney website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do those results tell you?\u00a0 Well, you see how you did!\u00a0 The most important number to look at is your net time.\u00a0 That’s how long it took you to run the race.\u00a0 Of course, remember that Disney races are often slower than other races because you slow down to look at things and sometimes stop for photos.\u00a0 But it’s still fun to see how you did!<\/p>\n

And because Disney is fun, a few weeks after the event, you can go to MyDisneyMarathon.com<\/a> and print out a free finisher’s certificate. Fun to hang on your wall as a memory of your accomplishment!<\/p>\n

Now you know all about race results.\u00a0 Now go check out the other posts in the Blog Hop<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
