And I've done all the Double Dares, too! I thought the new course was an improvement. And, most definitely Yes, there were fewer bands and cars than before.<br /><br />But I think this was my last Disneyland Double Dare. Like you said - it was hot, and it's hard to train through the summer here in Florida! This old body (I consider myself to be officially old, having just turned 70 the day of the Disneyland 10K), this old body doesn't like running 13.1 miles at a time anymore.<br /><br />Running the double dare also made it hard to enjoy Disneyland because I tried to stay off my feet before the races and was tired after them. And the parks are always crowded on Labor Day weekend.<br /><br />Congrats on your great races and your entertaining recaps!<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833300320140297246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-29873531155943562942017-09-07T22:20:40.364-07:002017-09-07T22:20:40.364-07:00Congrats on your top 25 finish!

So amazed at all of you that ran it (and SO glad I wasn't! Haha).<br /><br />I remember hearing on FB the classic car group wasn't officially invited this time and we saw a sharp decline in marching bands and community groups at Tink too (and in that race the Red Hat Society didn't come because their partnership with rD fell through). I think it all has to do with rD on the west coast moving from volunteers to paid temp staff. Rumor also has it that they'll be cutting all halfs from DL... only time and an eventual announcement about Light Side and/or Tink will tell.Bree at Clarity Definedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096737995080439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-16016823639915641522017-09-07T19:05:11.502-07:002017-09-07T19:05:11.502-07:00I was kind of sad to miss this for the first time ...I was kind of sad to miss this for the first time in five years...but reading this I don't feel TOO mad.
