My first half marathon is complete! I wanted to finish upright and I'm pleased to say I managed to hit that goal! I came in at 3 hours and 8 minutes, and I was quite happy with that given how many times I stopped for pictures. I thought perhaps there might be more princesses out for photos though, given the name of the race, but I loved meeting the Beast and getting a castle shot. Running down Main Street and through Fantasyland was fantastic, although we all had to sort of shuffle through the bottleneck at the castle.
Saw some terrible behavior from other runners - including a woman trying to bribe a volunteer with money to let her friend into her corral with her, and a girl who knocked at least ten people flying at a water stop when she sprinted through everyone, pushing people aside as she went - but also met some lovely people.
I thought the weather was wonderful, and I wish I hadn't been so nervous, I had the most wonderful time. Congratulations runners!
