Finally back to work after a long Wine and Dine Half and belated 50th B-day trip.
It was nice to step outside my normally introverted self and stop by the Hurricane Hannah's meet up. I just wish I could have stayed longer and meet a few more DISers but I had my teenagers anxious to get to their Test Track FP.
Some random WD 1/2 thoughts....
We got to the expo on Saturday afternoon and boy was all the merch cleaned out! No shirts in my size, no pins at all, and no "i did it" magnets. I managed to grab a fridge magnet and tervis wine glass. I forgot to pick up my extra after party tickets at expo (why does everything have to be in different buildings?)...thankfully I was able to pick up at Epcot on Sunday.
I thought the race was great. I enjoyed the extra time in AK going through Pandora....I just wish they could find a way to at least give you a few more minutes in HS. The finish chute seemed a bit odd?
I miss the plastic cheese.
Ran with my wife who has MS and she struggled a bit the last few miles as the heat and humidity can exacerbate her condition making it tough to lift her feet. So we went slow and deliberate from mile 9 on.
Our slowest 1/2 ever but I completely enjoyed the extra time on the course and loved being able to cross the finish line with her. So proud of her accomplishment but she has said this might be her last 1/2.
The after party....I think we skip it next time. We were really dragging after two very early wake up calls.
A little sad leaving on Saturday as this will probably our last trip as a full family for awhile as we approach college age and college expenses.
I did take solace that at least I will be back in 25 days for Central Florida Spartan Beast and a solo weekend in the World.
