I also got my photo with BB-8, Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett. There were 7 photo ops set up Ewoks and K-2S0 were new so I got in line for those first. It was neat to see all of the photo ops and pre-race area deserted for a minute before everyone else started arriving. I was parked by 3:15AM and got in line to get into the pre-race area, which opened up at 3:30AM. I left home in my parent's car at around 2:17AM.
We borrowed my parent's car for a few days so we didn't have to drive the disabled Prius too much. In addition to this little phone problem, Arthur and I had suffered a rear-end collision on I-4 in our Prius on Sunday night. I still had the faint hope the iPhone might wake up in the meantime.
What to do? I want to take photos! I want to be able to text Arthur if I have to! I want to be navigate in case of traffic! Eek! I ran upstairs and got an old iPod Touch that had a front-facing camera. It had performed well for the few days I had it before the morning of the 5K, but now the phone was completely dead even when plugged in it wasn't getting any power. I got a battery case that I hoped would get me through the weekend until I had a chance to go to the Apple Store. PANIC!įirst World Problem Alert: I had been having battery drain issues with my phone for about two weeks. I went to get my iPhone 6S from the charging station and it was completely dead. My alarm was set for 2AM, but I woke up on my own at 1:50AM. The usual Disney race goal for me is to have as much fun as possible, and that was still the main focus.įor the 5K I aimed to arrive as early as possible to knock out the photo ops for the weekend. I fully expected to walk much of the weekend and had fears and doubts about completing the half marathon. Still struggling with an achy Achilles, I took almost three full weeks off from running. I wore a classic-style yellow science officer uniform. I had so much fun running the 5K last year as a Star Trek: Discovery officer that I decided to go Trek for the 5K again this year. This year the race series was rebranded as the Rival Run, but it will always be the Dark Side to me! You can read my reports about previous 5K races here: 2016 Dark Side 5K (my first runDisney event) 2017 Dark Side 5K 2018 Dark Side 5K. Yay, it's Star Wars race weekend at Disney World! I've run this weekend for the past three years.
