Glad I'm not the only one who hasn't ran since the race. Last week was insane getting back from WDW and getting back to life. And since I don't know when my next race is, there's not a looming race to force me back like there was when I finished the Disneyland 1/2.
Since some people were talking about that, I wanted to chime in with my thoughts about the Coast To Coast. Honestly, the 2012 C2C ranks as one of my best Disney experiences ever. It's fun enough to see both WDW and Disneyland in the same year, but I also really enjoyed the experience of a night race and a morning race. For those concerned about the early morning race, I would suggest Disneyland since it's possible to roll out of bed 1 hour or so before you need to be in your corral since you can easily walk to the corrals.
Having successfully completed a 1/2 and discovering it really is possible, seeing that Coast to Coast medal really gets you thinking. I probably talked with at least 5 runners after the Wine & Dine who asked about my Coast To Coast medal and what the Disneyland course was like. And they all sounded intrigued about it because it is different. Both races were great experiences in different ways. Disney World has nothing like the rush of Angels Stadium along the course and it also has some really fun opportunities to see more Disney stuff along the course.
As great as the feeling is to have the volunteers place the medal around my neck, it was even better when I went over to the Coast to Coast booth and had them cut off that wristband and place the Coast to Coast medal around my neck. While I think that the Coast to Coast medal might have caused me to even try a 1/2 in the first place, having now accomplished it was more rewarding than I could have imagined.
All right, now I'm thinking this is all a conspiracy. Right after I finished the W&D, I swore I wouldn't do another Disney event due to the crowds . Now, not only am I seriously considering next year's W&D, now you've got my brain rolling about the C2C in 2014! What are you people trying to do to me???!!???
