As for the race itself....
This was easily the most fun I've had in a marathon. Part of that is that I'm no longer a marathon virgin (I've seen seen a number of running shirts that claim marathon promiscuity using words not appropriate for a family blog). I have a lot of experience and have been in some sort of training mode for the last two years. So I set a PR (3:55:20) despite having a number of factors against me.
But I would have had a fun time even with a bad race. This marathon was exceptionally well done in the way only Disney can do it. And there is a camaraderie that we runners have when race day approaches. Other activities have it as well, but there's nothing quite like having a few hours to yourself and your own mental health - and sharing it with 17,000 of your best friends.

Go Warlock! Runners are a clan like no other!
Did you dress up? If so, which character?
Congrats on the PB! You should train at a higher altitude, like where I live, for a few weeks and then run a marathon at sea level.
