Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Hershey Half Marathon Nice job. This was my wife's first half last year. Medal was a kiss, surprised to see they changed it. Maybe they want to go all Disney and get people to do each year for new medals. Good site for small kids, glad your family enjoyed it. I walked around Epcot the day before my first half, so I get your "what would I do differently?" |

[day before]: we were on our feet all day [and did a lot of walking] at the Park, and I knew that would effect my race. ideally the day before the race it's maybe a short run, legs up, compression sleeves on, trashy tv and a nap. this race was: walk uphill, walk, walk, wait in line for roller coaster, ride roller coaster, walk, eat delicious but bad-for-me food, walk, wait in line. repeat.
had a great time at the Park! <3 Hershey
we got to our hotel around 10 and set alarms for 5:45. so very, very early.
up and at 'em at quarter to 6 ! we got dressed quickly. I hemmed and hawed over how to dress -- mid 40s at the start and high 40s to low 50s at the finish -- decided on running skirt, thin tshirt, and long sleeved t. H and James were dressed a bit warmer.
we stopped at Dunkin Donuts so I could get a bagel and James a giant coffee. apparently, DD was not aware it was a race weekend, and it took forever to get our order. tg we left as early as we did. I HATE running late for a race start. super stressy.
and then to the Park ! it was perfect timing to get parked, get to the starting corrals (6-8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm .. really? we're going to put me with the 6 mm ers?) and take a picture with a giant Hershey Bar.
