Conditions:

  • 34 degrees (feels like 28)

Thoughts:

  • This was the 10K of the Disney World Marathon weekend.
  • My son's goal was to run an 11:00 minute average pace. We were able to do this easily.
  • I am just trying to support his race endeavors and keep my muscles loose.

Overall Average Pace: 11:25

Conditions:

  • 24 degrees 
  • Wind NW 10 mph

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!

Thoughts:

  • This was the half-marathon of the Disney World Marathon weekend. 
  • My son's goal was to run between 11:30 and 11:45 so we did well staying within that range.
  • I practiced hydratation and eating while running.
  • Did my SAM easy (strength and mobility) following the event.
