Coast-to-Coast Part 2

Looooong overdue, but I did complete the second part of my Coast-to-Coast Challenge at the Avengers Superheroes Half-Marathon in Anaheim in November 2015. All 13.1 miles this time!



Above: my final results. Below: Me after completing the Avengers Half. I have on all 3 medals (Wine & Dine, Avengers, & Coast to Coast)



I found that there are definite benefits to each race's location...

ORLANDO
Pros:
*larger avenues/streets made it easier to get a steady pace and there were fewer bottlenecks
Cons:
*Weather! (see previous post)
*Larger area = more people = crowded

ANAHEIM
Pros:
*Weather -- never too hot or too cold at race time
*Less crowded = easier to get in/out of expo, easier to get to the race, lines for characters are shorter
Cons:
*Lots of bottlenecks

...I feel like there were more notes I had on the differences, but if so I have forgotten them. I really did mean to write this post sooner
