The Enemy of Good is Better

Things are never good enough it seems nowadays.  Just when you think the Disney Dopey Challenge was a feat worth proclaiming (It is!), something comes along to question that.  And of course, it is runners at the tip of the questioning spear of wackiness!

So, 4 races in 4 days at Disney World wasn't enough.  Now 7 races spread out over 11 days and two coasts will garner you an unofficial Hercules Award, as well as Disney's Official Coast-to-Coast Award.  And I'm not stretching it to say things are rigidly defined. At least in the Disney Community.

Goofy Award = Half Marathon and Marathon on separate, concecutive days in Orlando.

Dopey Challenge = 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon on 4 separate, consecutive days in Orlando.

Tinkerbell Award = 5K, 10K, Half Marathon on 3 separate, consecutive days in Anaheim.

Hercules Award (Unofficial) = All seven races in 11 days.

Coast-to-Coast Award = A Half-Marathon or Marathon in Orlando and a Half Marathon in Anaheim in the same calendar year.  Apparently, Disney Land doesn't have a Marathon. Yet!  There are actually two chances for this, so there are people with 2 Coast-to-Coasts out there.  Which should have its own name. Maybe Rich, Unemployed and Obsessed Award?  Just spitballing there...

There are hundreds of people that did this last week.  I'm just saying.
