Marathon Weekend 2022

It’s my right ankle, so if it’s your left knee, maybe we can lean on each other to come up with one semi-serviceable runner! :P
I wish but no it’s the right knee. In order to run I have had to slow way down. Generally clipping 10:30 to 10:45. Probably hang with you for the first half, but not getting the distance in so the second half will be a slog. I think I will take the rest of January off from running. I need a reset. This entire training cycle has been miserable. Oh and I start a lot slower. I found in old age I actually have to warm up so the first 2 miles are closer to 11 minutes.

Also, since those rides are indoors, masks are required. Holding onto a mask for 22 miles seems like a pain and would be gross when it was time to put it on to get on the ride.

There is still a mask mandate on buses, right? I would assume that applies to the buses to and from the resorts. Anyone know how that was handled at W&D?

Masks required on busses and inside in park bathrooms

I had a disposable one I wore on the bus there and in corals and tossed it at the first water stop… I had one for the ride back in my running belt but they were handing them out if needed when boarding busses from finish to resort

The best solution I’ve found is to carry a ziplock bag. Slip the mask into the ziplock and it fits easily into a pocket and stays dry and ready to use when needed.

Can you even imagine how wet and gross the backs of the seats would be after someone has run 22 miles?

About as gross as any tourist lumbering around Disney during the summer.

I plan to check mine with my gear bag.

Jumping on the mask talk for a second:

Honestly investing in a silk or under armor mask is worth it for races and where you store it helps too. I’ve done two fulls now carrying a mask in my bib belt. Mine were not sweaty when I pulled it out after I finished.

My old friend hip impingement made a return after last weekend's 18-miler. Hoping I can get it settled down quickly, but trying to be realistic of what paces will be now based on prior experience with it.
