2007 Walt Disney World Half Marathon Report: Jill Roberts
Pre-race routine: Staying at Wilderness Lodge and we know the roads at Disney REALLY well, so we went over at the LAST minute! Woke up at 4:30, arrived Epcot at 5:20, walked to corrals. The A/B/C and number corral thing was a mess, I hope they go back to the A-G for next year. Event warmup: None, jumped into corral right at the anthem! :) Comments: This was my 1st race following my gallbladder surgery 3 weeks earlier so I was thrilled just to be there! I ran with my significant other who I told I would probably have to stop and walk after 6 miles. When I made it to 8, he begged me to walk! :) hahaha. We did the walk/run thing for the rest of the race and had a fine time. What would you do differently?: Nothing, it was my 3rd WDW 1/2 Marathon and I didn't have anything to prove. Post race Warm down: Collected "Cape of Awesomeness", duck medal, ate a bunch of junk, went back to bed! What limited your ability to perform faster: Significant other, hahaahha. Actually, I could have left him but that would have been rude! :) Event comments: I also volunteered at the Start of the marathon and that was a blast! Did you know those fire shooters run on alcohol? Did you know the championship guys set up the mat at 5am in about 3 mins? Did you know if you act like a monkey at the start line before anyone is there they will test you out on the jumbotron! And finally, the whole show is pre-run at 3am, so if you hear the countdown, see the fireworks, etc, don't panic! |
