Disneyland Half Marathon
Was this morning. Finished in 2:29:30, 36 minutes faster than last year. I was a little disappointed we did not get to run through Angels Stadium this year. I have to find out why. Hopefully next year I can be under 2 hours like uber marathoner Fuegote.

Congrats on running and finishing.
Seeing your time in the half marathon really makes me wonder if marathoners are human. That they can run full marathons in about the same time as you posted just amazes me. Please don't take this as I'm giving you a hard time about those folks running twice as far in the same time you did - goodness knows I'd still be on the course for a half marathon until dark - but it's difficult for me to fathom the kind of runners that can run 26 miles in a bit over 2 hours.

Are these Disney events well done? I've wondered if they're purely just gimmicks to get more people to the park or if they are legit races.

Compare that to the provo river half I did a month ago. Water at 3 5 8 12, out of water at mile 5 when i got there. No gels, despite saying they would. no medical, started 15 minutes early while I was sitting in the outhouse. No electronic timing. Nothing in the swag bag and burnt pancakes at the finish.
