And even with next-to-no preperation I finished and thought it was MUCH easier than the Richmond half!! My time was a little slower- around 3:19- but I finished and didn't really feel it until mile 12.
I don't really have much to show for it. All of the lines for characters were quite long and I didn't have the speed to stop for pictures then run. But I really want to do this race again. There's always next year for pictures!
There was quite a bit of entertainment. People on stilts, the Black Pearl with Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, a hot air balloon, Cinderella and her prince, Alice and the Mad Hatter, the Fairy Godmother, Belle with the Beast and Gaston, Tiana and Naveen, Miko and Pocahontas, the three fairy godmothers with Aurora and Prince Philip, Cruella with the wicked queens and Cinderella's step-family, a soldier from Toy Story, Minnie, Donald and Goofy in golf gear, and all the princes in one location.
My family talked about doing the Coast to Coast challenge, but the Disneyland half already sold out. Oh well...there's always next year!
Not much else to say.... I've got to sign up for another race. I want to start running more so I can get better times. This half marathon stuff is addicting!
