Whoa, what a weekend. So much to talk about!
I’ll just do it like normal and go a race at a time.
One thing I thought was pretty funny was when we got there, there was so much food being sold! There was even a cupcake truck! There were people walking around selling hot chocolate. We didn’t get anything, but plenty of sweet treats were available if you wanted them.
Before the race, there was a DJ who was pretty funny. He danced to Gangnam Style. (And that song was in my head for the rest of the weekend.)
Our race was pretty uneventful. It was just me trying to slow my dad down to a mall-walk. I wanted to walk this and not even feel that I’d done it. And that’s what we did.
We were dorks who stopped for a picture in front of the Epcot ball, but I didn’t care. I liked it. It’s Disney! Embrace that dorkiness!
After the race, they gave us so much food. There were snack boxes, full bottles of Powerade, bananas… Huh. I kind of just took a little walk through the park, but uh, okay… Thanks, Disney!
(Oh, and a note to anyone who wants to know what the Dopey Challenge is… It is an unofficial thing runners talk about, but it’s not recognized by Disney. It’s doing the official Goofy Challenge (the half Saturday and the full Sunday), and adding the 5k in the day before.)
(Added note to this blog: The Dopey Challenge actually became real. Disney added a 10k. It’s now 4 days long. And you can do it. It exists.)
That wraps up that little 5k. Tomorrow, I’ll talk about the half marathon!
