well, imo the bike course is awesome. some rollers, a few hills, definitely did
not get bored. the run was twisty and turny but interesting as well- as hard
and hot as it was, they tried to do something other than the usual out and
back. appreciated.

as far as disney goes- man. very difficult to get around the race venue pre-
and post- race. we had to walk a mile and a half to the awards ceremony because
the buses apparently stopped running ( you couldn't drive your car on the
resort property). real fun in the heat a few hours after doing the race. lots
of shuttles, different mega parking lots, disney craziness, ugh..
makes me miss Gulf Coast- the beach, great post-race party, the beach..

unless you are really trying to get an IM slot, go to Panama City.
