Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

[WDW_Emily]

Thoughts on the course? I personally loved the 5k course but hated the 10k. Way too crowded the first 4 miles on the road, and very little time in the parks. I did like all the water stations though seemed like there were more this time than previous races.

Corral A for the 5k and D for the 10k

Wasn't it the same course as last year? Be grateful there was no HS to Epcot via Boardwalk - that's always a bottleneck. Last thing I wanted to run was a wet Boardwalk after the rain last night.

That is my post favorite part of any course!!

Running the wet boards on Boardwalk?

This is very true. However I did miss the people cheering in the resorts

MGM to Crescent Lake and into Epcot I love. Yes wet boards are fine for me...I train on them at home too. Just such a pretty area full of cheering too.

Looks like it’s time for everyone to start getting ready and get on a bus - I’ll be thinking of you and hope that one of you posts the picture from Mexico tonight

Good morning runners! Let’s do this and have fun. Merry WineDineHalf to all!

 

[RunningKoen]

I'm proud of my slowest time ever. It also was my most constant run ever, only stopping for water post and the good photo stops. It's the best I could in these conditions & for the first time I paced within my limits.

I enjoyed the route! Not my PR but my second fastest time at 1:41 which included a bathroom break and capt Hook photo op lol! Soaking in the hot tub now. AKL pool opened early from refurb NEWSFLASH!!

 

[LAKid53]

My slowest time, but I'm done! Knee started bothering my around Mile 9, so I stopped at one of the medical tents and slathered biofreeze all over it.

Congrats to everyone.

I'm hitting the hot tub, in my running gear. I don't care what people may think.

I took 10 minutes off my time from Star Wars. I figure from 24 weeks pregnant to 14 weeks postpartum, that’s not half bad! Pretty far off where I had been last year, but I didn’t get to train as much as I hoped (only did one long run a week), so I was pleased!

I thought the whole event went really well. I was glad the rain was very brief and the BoardWalk was dry by the time I got there. Can’t wait for #10 next year! But in the meantime, I have the Space Coast Half in just 3 weeks so it’s time to recover and get ready to do it all over again.

Congrats to everyone who ran this weekend!

I was glad the Boardwalk was dry, too. But running through a rainy Pandora wasn't fun. Had to slow down and carefully walk as my feet were slipping on occassion. Glad it was overcast.

Same here - that area really showed down my pace. I had to pull over under Satuli’s roof so I could put some things in a bag. By the time I was passing Tiffins, the rain was done. Figures! Haha!

How was the section after studios? It was very narrow due to constructions. I got passed it easy as corral A runner. I think for everyone in B, it can be a hard part

That pathway is always a congested nightmare, now made worse by the construction for the gondolas. I'm used to it by now and don't even try to run.

Am I doing this right?

I’d been told the after party wasn’t really crowded last year, and that a hurricane didn’t make landfall at bay Lake either. 0 for 2. This blows

Edit- we just left..only things open are outside, and it’s a monsoon out. That was about as fun as having your girlfriend dump you on the same day your dog died.

I believe so.

That's really early, thought it was supposed to be closed until December.
