Enjoyed running through the Sweetest Place on Earth. The swag bag had chocolate bars in it and cookies from Hershey Lodge. Checked into the Hershey Lodge and got more chocolate bars when checking in. They let the runners use the park from 6-9pm which I can say I have never ridden rides before a race especially the Fahrenheit! We ended up not eating until almost 9:30pm which probably was not the best idea. When I got up the next morning my Garmin was not charged so I ran without a watch to do intervals. The walkers started an hour before but the race still had a 18 min pace which most can still walk that. At the start had pictures with the characters. Tom stayed at the hotel since it was at Mile 5. The first couple of miles were pretty lonely since there weren't many back of the packers. After mile 5 though passed some people and ended up passing walkers later in the run. I did go the wrong way when coming out of the park since I had no one in front of me. The gave out Hershey bars at Mile 12 and of course had to try that but not sure if that was the best thing. I finished in 3:11 which was better than Philly and I have 2 more races in a row so we will see how I feel.
