Holy moly,i slept like crap! I was up every 30 min for no reason. When my alarm went off,I wanted to cry haha. I got up and got dressed and headed out to drizzle. I'm glad I decided to go back and get my umbrella as it started to rain much heavier after a few minutes. It took me a few minutes to figure out how I could walk to security and bag check but I made it there. I was able to get myself organized, bag checked (yes, there were two securities!) and to the corrals. The walk was long and we had to go through security again. Security was slow as we ended up right in line for the Portos. I didn't get in my corral until 5:10 and considering I left my hotel at 4:30, that's a long time. The corral was packed and I tried to move up as much as I could but the corral was just massive! I decided then I would have to be early for the next day! or I need to get faster to make sure I am in Corral A for the 10k.

​Since I was in corral B, the start was a hot mess as the people that wanted to run really couldn't get through as I was stuck at a 11:30-12 min pace and that was with me weaving as much as I could. I realized the weaving would just make me tired so I just moved as best as I could over the three hills before heading backstage. 
​
Backstage actually wasn't too bad as we looped around and entered Toontown (I was surprised this path was open with it so close to construction). Went through Fantasyland and through the castle. I stopped for a pic and then headed towards Fronterland for a pic with Silvermist and Viada.

We did an out and back through New Orleans square and then over to adventureland. I stopped for a pic with the partners statue as we headed towards Matterhorn through Tomorrowland. We then went backstage before popping into main St briefly before heading to the Promenade . I stopped for a pic out front!

5k split: 44:29 (14:19 pace)
Running splits: 10:33/10:41/9:46
We went backstage again and made a huge loop and came into DCA through the bus depot. We entered Buena Vista St and through Hollywoodland and then backstage again for a long time. 

Eventually we entered by Carsland and ran through a bugs land where I got a pic with iridessa and Rosetta there. We continued towards the Pier were I took 2 pics with the pier and the world of color fountains were going!

We went through grizzly and I stopped for a final photo with Fawn (I missed Tink as she wasn't out). Finally we finished through downtown Disney and over to the finish line. 

Running splits: 10:28/10:59/10:23/8:46 (last .2 miles)
Final time: 1:27 (14:02 pace)
Final running time: 1:11ish (only 16 minutes for photos and bathroom breaks)

Overall I liked this 10k course. There was a lot of park time and some good character stops. I learned I need to get to the start early so I'm towards the front so I don't get stuck behind a slower pace than I want to go. I feel like I got a lot of pics and had fun!

I ended up doing breakfast with some sorority sisters then going to see Civil War (which I loved and was a great way to spend a large chunk of time off of my feet) before heading up two meet ups. Then I had dinner at Carthay which I realized was not really worth the money for what I got. And since I was so tired, I was able to get a lot of sleep and wake up refreshed for the half the next day. 

Did you do the Tinkerbell 10k? Is there a 10k course you really like?
