Pre-race routine:

Picked up packets pretty early...yay, no lines! There was no expo at all...and I don't remember if they pretended to have one last year or not.

Arrived at race start 3 hours early (wasn't going to repeat altercations with police by traffic BS like last year). Wow, its amazing when there's nobody there. Got to participate in the Mystery Tour by really examining the clues and memorizing the characters ahead of time. Had lots of opportunity to sign the hotel register with several names:
Cinder Ella
Mickey Mouse
Roxy Contin (which someone put a #1 next to later)
Cheap Skate
and since I saw a big heart with 'Jon & Kate' written in it already, I had to scribble in a +8 inside too.

Other than that, walked around admiring costumes.

Comments:

My left foot fell asleep at mile 3 and stayed asleep the rest of the race. It felt like running with a prosthetic.

A while later, my the arch in my right foot started feeling very hard. I have felt this once before....(one of the last runs prior to the disney marathon this year, around mile 6, I felt this way and kept going....and eventually, I couldn't even walk anymore and hubbie had to pick me up.)

I did my best, but I felt like I was really limited by my FEET today.
What would you do differently?:

Throw away these stupid Adrenaline shoes that suck so much I've only put 200 mile on them in a year. I had forgotten how much they suck.

Warm down:

Collected bonus medal! Looked around for bathroom and wandered around looking for a way out of the park.

Once back at the hotel, we sat in a very hot Jacuzzi for 30 min....I could have SLEPT there it was so luscious.

Event comments:

Not as much fun as 2008. The mystery tour was fun, but I really missed the Twilight Zone and Halloween elements that were not there for this race.
