There should be some merchandise left - there's always a bit left over that goes to the on-site tent for after the race, so I'd assume that the half-marathon merchandise is still at the expo on Saturday. I'd be less optimistic on characters, though.

I make a list of things I know I'll need, but don't pile them up until it's time to pack. Given the sort of person I am, about half the list is various chargers and cables.

November totals: Miles: 15.4 Time: 4h16m Note that 13.mumble miles and almost 4 hours of that time was the Wine and Dine Half.

Just a hunch, but I suspect that DL races will start with the 24/25 season, probably with the DL Half around Labor Day Weekend.

I really get this. I choked up really bad after I crossed the W&D Half finish line - didn't quite cry, but not by much. It was a race I wasn't ready for and probably shouldn't have run, but I finished, and it hit me a lot harder than I expected.

Bay Area doesn't really go below freezing, so my usual decision is whether to go with a long-sleeve running shirt or a short-sleeve. It's always shorts weather for running. My cutoff is about 45F or so - above that, I'll wear a short-sleeve shirt, and below that I'll wear long sleeves...

Yeah, we'll probably try for coast-to-coast medals. I've got a Kessel Run medal from the last year they did DL races, but my son doesn't have a coast-to-coast yet and his attempt at castle-to-chateau ran into a pandemic.

So, now the plan going forward: I talked to my health coach this morning, and she's very willing to look over my Strava tracks after we go over what I've eaten. I'm hoping this will help me actually get running done instead of breaking off too early. I have no particular races in mind right...

I'm coming from 4 fields on the 235, for comparison - one page of distance/time/average pace/current pace, and one page of distance/lap time/lap pace/heart rate. I tried it this morning, and I may want to tweak the exact settings but overall I'm pleased with it. I swapped heart rate and total...

Following up: I decided to buy the 255; it arrived last night. I'll take it out for a test run on Monday, but so far: The screen is larger, to the point where you can fit six stats on the screen at once. I immediately set one up with heart rate, lap time, lap pace, overall time, overall pace...

I liked the race weekend in general. It was my first visit to the Wine & Dine Festival and I'm a big fan of it. However, I didn't care for the course or the weather, although I understand that the weather was unusual. The timing is awkward combined with Thanksgiving travel - I got back to...

I went from a 35 to a 235 for the larger screen and more data at once, but the 55 isn't quite as limited as the 35 was. It looks like the x55 series is claiming two-week battery life, and the x45 is one-week? I'm now eyeing a 255 to replace the 235 due to battery aging, but I only use it for...

My first W&D as well - I've now hit all four weekends, although for Marathon Weekend I've only done the 10k. (And I haven't done Spring Surprise, but I did WDW Star Wars twice, so I count that as covered.) Between the heat and the hurricane forecast to hit in two days, I'm thinking I'm going...

I'm pretty sure they did beads at French Quarter for Princess Half 2020. Riverside had something similar going on, including a 13.1 prop to take pictures with, but I didn't pay close attention. I think they had the pool lounge thing going as well.

Thanks! In addition to retiring the beloved Rebel Challenge shirt, it might be time to look for a refresh on my Garmin. The battery was just about gone by the end of the race. It’s like four years old, and batteries be like that.

Okay, I survived and didn't get swept, although only because I started at the front of corral D. This is going to be kind of stream-of-consciousness because I'm still coming down off the race. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the new course, but I'm sure it makes security easier - they just run you...

Ferb was my only photo stop. I knew at that point I was about a mile ahead of the balloon ladies, but the line was short and I can always spend 3 minutes to see Ferb.

That was the worst half marathon I've ever run, about half an hour slower than my previous worst. But, it was better than any race I didn't run.

The path out that I took (at about 4) was part of the course between miles 2 and 3, so presumably they want to make sure everyone is off that well before launch.

Just enough water to steam us without cooling at all.
