? re: timing for race day

[uncspin]

So... This is my first time doing the Princess Half. This race is what got me started with running in July 2010. I completed my first half in May 2011 in 3:09. I expect to complete my second in November in about 2:45 or so. For those that have done the Princess before, can you give me some info on the "schedule" of the day? Also, if the hubs and I want to go back to the resort to shower, then go out for a celebratory lunch is 1:30 p.m. late enough? Thanks for the info!

The time you start depends on what corral they place you in, but expect to start around 6 a.m. and you should be done by 9 a.m. That gives you plenty of time to shower, rest a bit and have lunch at 1:30 p.m. If you can move it up a bit, I would probably recommend that. At least an hour because if I had waited until 1:30 p.m. I would have been seriously starving! Even with my kids meal sized appetite after races! The Princess is really easy to get back to your resort from because it isn't as large as say WDW Marathon weekend. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the guidance! I will move the reservation up a little bit. I also definitely will be getting a snack (carbs!) of some form after the run. It made the reservation a little later because it normally takes me about 3 hours to get hungry.
