Thoughts:
- I am doing the Disney World Marathon Weekend with my son. He is a casual runner and wanted to do a destination event. We are doing 4 races in 4 days. I am setting aside my race training for the week to support and encourage his endeavors.
- All I can say about this 4 day event is that Disney puts on a great event, but it is not an event for the serious runner. The participants are zany and over the top. Most are pretty clueless about race ettiquette. If you are not in Corral A, you may as well forget about having a decent finish. There are walkers everywhere - to the right, in the middle, to the left, 5 a breast - swatting you with wings, tails, veils, wands, and over-sized gloves as you pass them along the race course. Other participants stop immediately in front of you to snap a selfie or to stand and scream about the next Disney character that has appeared along the side of the race course.
- The 5K was a mental challenge. Running with around 20,000 people is a lot to manage. We made major weaving mistakes, but feel better prepared for the other events now. Hopefully, by the marathon we'll be experts and have a relaxing, kickback event!
