The Old Hag was on the on/off ramp at like .75 mile in. A great way to start off the race. This also meant we ran by her again later on in the race. This was book marked by Pain/Panic switching off with Hades at like mile 9.9. Was like do I stop? Or keep pushing. Pushed through, with no real regrets. I recall the Old Hag; Jafar; AK Parade/FOTLK Performers (Couldn't tell in the dark which); Jack & Sally; Red Queen; Shadowman (Dr. Facilier); Nautilus float thing; Hook & Smee; Shanzai, Banzai & Ed; Stitch; HM Gravediggers; Zombie Football Players; Big Bad Wolf; Boo To You Ghost Dancers; Mike, Sulley and Lotso; Pain/Panic & Hades; Bellhop Goofy at the finish. Post race party was Darth Vader, Tremaines/Evil Queen, Gaston, Frollo/Shan Yu. Race pictures are showing up on MarathonFoto already.
Overall not a bad race. Great mix of rarer characters both during the race and the party. Weather was a bit warm, hope everyone was properly hyrdated. Left my watch in the bag my DW took back to the hotel room, so I ran it by feel. Which actually worked out pretty gosh darn good. Ended up with negative splits, and my final pace was spot on what I should have done for my training run for Jan. (Just needed to add a few more miles to the end of it)
I was a bit disappointed to see someone with a bib from corral I wearing a medal coming out of bag check about 10 minutes after I did (Corral A). I highly doubt that she was running 8:30's, which would look to me like they gave finishers medal to bussed runners. Anyone else see this?
