Pre-Race
How would you start describing a race like this? Was this even a race report? I guess it was as much a gigantic event as it was a challenge, but I don't think "race" would be the best or even proper term to describe this past weekend in sunny Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It was definitely the biggest sporting event I ever got to participate in. My better half decided about six months ago that she was ready to train for and participate in her first half marathon, but she wanted it to be special. Since I had never been to Disney World and I had also promised my son long ago that I would take him there, it was an easy decision. My mother flew in from Germany and we made it a full blown family vacation by booking an 8 day stay at the Pop Century Resort at Disney World starting the week before race weekend. I decided that I would pace my fiancee to her first half marathon finish.
