runDisney and Disney Sports team up with FitBloggin

How many of you knew that runDisney and Disney Sports were sponsoring the FitBloggin conference this past weekend in Savanna?  I figured it out about a week early and yes I was online pricing tickets.  I did not end up going, the short answer being that I do not have the funds or the schedule to take off on a whim right now.  I did follow along with the conference via social media however and was able to make some new friends via Twitter and Instagram!  

 runDisney and Disney Sports sponsored the lunch on Saturday and Mickey showed up as the special guest! runDisney and Disney Sports staff were on hand to share the good news about the brand.  They even gave out a free race entry to a runDisney race! On Sunday morning they joined the 5k fun run and brought along everyone's favorite run/walk advocate - Jeff Galloway!

 Here are some of their official tweets from the weekend! There's lots of fun stuff happening! Including the release of the Tower 10 Miler weekend medals (see my previous post).

My Wine Dine Half v Tara's 5 Common Mistakes

My Wine & Dine Half response to Diet Diva Tara's "5 COMMON RACE DAY NUTRITION MISTAKES" post on the runDisney blog.


This is how I tackled my first Wine & Dine Half.  It is what seemed right to me.  I am not recommending this method for anyone else. That said, you should think through all of Tara's points.  

Now on to the match up!

"1. Skipping pre-race meal or not fueling enough."

I ate a half bowl of pasta at Art of Animation around 5 pm. Plenty of time to digest and fuel in my system. It did have Alfredo on it which brings us to Tara's no 2.

"2. Fat overload the night before." (or the day of in this case)

She did warn about it the night before. I opted for the Alfredo rather than red sauce, because I wanted to avoid the acid.  I did pick a 1/2 and 1/2 mix though adding pesto to the mix. I went with the "if my belly is happy" it will be fine approach.

"3. Eating something new."

She included carbonated beverages with this. I had never drank a soda before a race, but I drank 1/2 a Coke before the Wine & Dine Half. I was falling asleep. I was a little worried that it would dehydrate me so I kept close tabs on water intake. I really needed the sugar/caffeine kick. It worked out great for me. I abandoned half a bottle on the side of the start corral. Overdoing a good thing can be a bad thing.

"4. Only drinking water."

I do only drink water.  I make up for it with my Cliff Shot Blocks.  Margaritas only for me please.  The extra sodium is an asset! I get sick drinking the sports drinks on the course. This works out much better for me.  I take a block every 2 miles or 20 minutes along with water.

"5. Not eating after the race."

Not possible with the Epcot Food & Wine Festival after-party until 4 am! Bratwurst in Germany followed by a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar did the trick. I also snacked on my post-race fuel box and enjoyed my complimentary glass of wine!  

Again this is just how I tackled my first Wine & Dine Half.  It is what seemed right to me.  I am not recommending this method for anyone else.  
If you have any questions or comments for Tara, 
you can tweet her @DietDivaTara.

Oh yes I did! I raced as a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar! I had to have one post race!
