Have you done a race weekend with family for comparison? DW has come with me for a couple of race weekends, even running the inaugural SWDS 5k for one of them. She finds race weekend trips unsatisfying, as she either feels like she can’t do what she wants to in the evenings due to my need to get up early. Then she feels like she’s in the way of me trying to get ready while not disturbing her sleep on race mornings. We’ve decided that race weekends should be solo trips, as a result, and we take separate trips together on non-race weekends when we can better enjoy things together.
