Running a half marathon on Saturday and following it up with a full Marathon on sunday. GOOFY!!
I will say it was a lot of fun. If you are able to do the race without racing per say. A lot of crowd support, medical tents, hydration and nutrition. This year (unfortunately) the race was rather warm and humid. That is ok with me bc we normally train in this. Although i was not conditioned well for this weather yet it did not affect me. We were already planning on doing this race chill!!
This was part of the group during the half marathon.
After we had finished the two races!! Love our Goofy Medals

Now for the important stuff. Everything went perfect! Drove down friday. Went straight to packet pickup. walked thru expo quickly. To room to check in and ordered room service. In bed a little late but around 9. We bought the race retreat tent as an extra part of the package. So worth the money. We had a 0300 wake up call and was on bus to the start at 0345. Went to race retreat and relaxed. Used the restroom. Had private bag check and food. 20 min walk to corrals to warm up. PERFECT!
Did the half marathon and quickly went back to room. Ice on knees and calves. Put compression pants on and propped feet up. did nothing. Groceries from Target and made food in suite. Went to bed at 645pm. I think this was key to our success. Woke up again at 0300 and did it all again. Except this time did a full marathon. Finished and relaxed for a bit longer. Went back to suite and rested for a bit before going out to dinner!! A great race to go to but I dont think I care to do it again. Its a one and done for me. Great support just to many people. Too crowded and not a place to take to seriously.
