Marathon Weekend 2019

[JAMIESMITH]

So, that really depends on what you like. The Tuscaloosa course is usually much flatter and therefore tends to be a faster course. However, it only usually draws 700-1000 people. Mercedes on the other hand runs the half and full concurrently (since it is a double loop course) plus the relay, so there is something like 7,000 people running. It is a good bit larger, so you will always be around a number of people (which helps me keep going). However, miles 5-8 and 9-10 are all gradual uphills...

Thanks for this! Tuscaloosa is closer and I'd love to see what I can do on a flatter course. The race here advertises it's hills

No offense but if your money was sweaty imagine what your body that she was massaging was like
I'd love to try it on my sweaty self but my legs are pretty devastated after the marathon and I'm not sure how useful it would be for me then. Maybe that's just the trick? Hopefully others will chime in too.

ice bath ftw

My immediate post race (Disney) plan is to hit the hot tub ASAP! I get out of the post race area as soon as I can. Take my post race photo, grab my morning bag and head to the bus line. As soon as I get off of the bus I'm changing clothes, grabbing liter or two of water and heading to the hot tub and I'll spend probably 30 minutes or so in there just stretching. It always takes me a while tog get my appetite anyway. If the weather is right I'll jump in the pool and do some light swimming and just lightly kick my legs. Throw down a couple of beers and once I am hungry then it's lunch and nap time. Whatever I do I make sure I try to get up and walk around that evening.

The best time for a massage is really the next day. Walk around on Sunday afternoon to keep them from fully tightening up, wake up feeling like they're frozen, and have a massage to loosen them back up before DATW or a full day in the parks.

Where's the best place on property to get a massage for those muscles, preferably without having to pay an arm and a leg for it? I'm definitely planning on park time after the marathon and the next 2 days, but I also reserve the right to sleep in a little bit if I want to after Dopey.

Nothing at Disney is cheap, as we all know, but I think the best massages are at the Dolphin, the Yacht Club, and Saratoga Springs.

Mandara Spa at the Dolphin is awesome and is occasionally on Groupon.

And people can talk about college football wherever they like. I don’t like it so much, but there’s no rule about it. Geez.

Speaking of which, plenty of good games on today. I think everyone around here is rooting for TCU to take down Ohio State.

Angela has demanded we go to ESPN to watch the game tonight. We’ll see what happens ...

Speaking of college football, next week my Hawkeyes play @rteetz’s Badgers. I think a wager is in order. If the Hawkeyes win, rteetz gets facepaint. If the Badgers win, rteetz gets facepaint.

All in favor say “aye.”

Well the Badgers will win no problem so no wager is even needed.
