When we arrived at the pre-staging area,
we huddled around the heat lamps, or as close as we could get to the heat
lamps. We were really, really cold…have
I said that yet? My hubby ended up
staying at the heat lamps the whole time and I headed off to run. This race was, from what I could tell, the
same course as the January races, which meant about a mile on the roads before
entering Epcot under Test Track. I was
going to walk this race, or at least run slowly, but it was so cold I just
couldn’t hold back. I just ran!
When entering Epcot and running through
World Showcase, “Let It Go” was on repeat in different languages. It was pretty cool the first two times, then,
to be honest, I just had to turn my music back on. We headed through future world, and I was
sure to watch my footing, as there was water that I suspect was a little icy
too on the course. We looped around the
entrance, and finally, done! I have to
say, it was COLD! It was all I could do
to keep going. I was still able to see
my breath when we were done.

It was a fun race, but I can’t ignore
the cold. Not to say I wouldn’t do it
again, because this was a fluke, but I can’t say I was “happy” that I signed up
for this race, this year. What can I
say? I’m not a cold-weather runner! All that being said, the medallion was super
cute and Disney did a great job with theme-ing!
I loved all the Frozen stuff…well…except for the cold! They do a great job with the 5k races. I would highly suggest them to anyone,
anytime…but hey, I’d suggest ANY Disney race to anyone!
Have you ever done a Disney 5k? How does it compare to other races you’ve
done?
