I'm not completely sure where my time fit into all the races I have run, but I do know my fastest races compared to the slowest ones.
Fastest Half is the 2018 Giant Race. Ironically enough this was perhaps my most difficult race also. I can't quite believe I set my PR as mentally challenging that day was.
Slowest Half is the 2019 Walt Disney World Half Marathon, which more or less went according to plan. Interestingly enough, I finished the marathon the next day in less time than double my half marathon time from the day before.
Fastest 10K is the 2015 Star Wars The Light Side 10K at
Disneyland. My first 10K after 3 Half Marathons. Still my fastest, likely because I have since learned how much time I have to play with before needing to fear the sweep.
Slowest 10K is the 2019 Walt Disney World 10K. Days after coming off a cold and heading into Dopey, I chose to take lots of pictures and only worry about time if they told me to. Turned out I never needed to, but for perspective, my fastest Disney Half with photos is an hour slower than my slowest Disney 10K with photos.
Fastest 5K is the 2019 Walt Disney World 5K. See the 2019 Walt Disney World 10K with more pictures and making sure I reserved my strength for the Goofy portion of Dopey.
Slowest 5K is the 2018 Star Wars The Dark Side 5K. I've only run two 5Ks ever, both at Disney, but Star Wars means more picture stops for me.
I'm of the firm belief that Chip and Dale make every single race they appear in better simply because they're awesome. I finished my first half marathon ever getting a high five from them shortly before crossing the finish line, my first multi race challenge with a high five from them dressed as Ewoks, and finished my first marathon ever with another high five from the chipmunks before crossing the finish line.
I love this sentiment for the following reason. My very first half marathon began to get really difficult to the point of feeling like I had shin splints roughly half a mile into the race. Honestly, if I had known that I would get the medal simply by signing up and starting, I probably would have ended my running life right then and there. But the truth of the matter is that every great opportunity/dream fulfillment/memorable opportunity in running has come since that point. I look back at everything I would have missed out on if I had quit right there and concluded that running just isn't for me. So I love reading race recaps where the runner pushed through the difficulties because those are truly inspiring. In a sense, they're more inspiring than the race where everything went perfect.
For me this is the moment that I can't quite articulate to friends and family when they express surprise that I'm doing it again. I worked hard to stay optimistic that I would finish so as to keep my brain in the proper state when the marathon got difficult. It helped sustain me during those last few challenging miles, but I don't think I will hear "Let's Go Fly a Kite" from Mary Poppins the same way ever again because that was when I knew it was real.
If you need to, renting a wheelchair may be the answer. My mom has dealt with foot problems her entire life, and when she realized that she would be unable to walk around Disney World, we rented a wheelchair for her and it saved the vacation and enabled her to enjoy the parks without the severe pain she always tolerated for us kids.
