So Marathoners...if your loved one met you midway at AK...what would you want/need from them?
Question two: Is a LO allowed to "run" with a runner while in an open park?
1. Some extra of my fuel of choice - just in case I lost any between the start and AK. A really funny/clever sign!
2. Technically, no. But it's kind of possible, if both are willing to walk, not run. A friend met me at EP at the end of the full this year - I pulled way over next to the cones marking the race course and she stayed just to the other side of them, and we walked together for most of WS.
Changing clothes and especially shoes during a race is a terrible idea, honestly. Not only do you risk additional chafing - but she's easily going to lose a minimum of 10 minutes in Animal Kingdom between waiting for a bathroom and changing clothes.
(Bolding is mine) THIS!!! ^ AK is
not the place to lose time - especially for someone who may be concerned with falling behind pace. The wheels can come off much later in the race, but if you've run strong through the first half/three quarters, you have some buffer to take stretch breaks, do more walking, take an extra restroom break, etc. If she loses a bunch of time changing clothes that early, she won't have any buffer later, when things get really tough.
Honestly, I don't understand the changing clothes thing; I've never heard of that! If the race starts cold and warms up, she may want to ditch layers, so it would be convenient for her to leave those items with you, but a complete change? Nope, not a good idea.
It is Sunday and Sundays are for Disney!
Today's question:
Now that we are settled down from all the Disney announcements last week which one are you most excited for and why?
My answer: I think I'm most excited for Tron and the new Magic Kingdom theater. It gives MK more capacity to spread out crowds and they are two great additions IMO.
+1 for TronTronTronTronTronTRON!!!!!!!! And a close runner-up for Ratatouille. I'll never in my life be able to afford the Star Wars hotel, so I'm just pretending it won't ever exist.
