For those who have run the ToT before, how long did it take after you crossed the finish line to retrieve your stuff from bag check?
Let's assume, for the sake of sanity, that they do things as they did last year,
not how they did it in 2012, k? After crossing the finish, you'll be handed your medal, then beverages and questions asked to make sure you're okay (I've only seen this go down at TOT - they want those water/Powerade bottles OPEN and to see you drinking, by golly!), then a snack pack and bananas. It's all a little hectic through there, but it's only a matter of minutes. Then you'll continue walking backstage to an entrance to the stage floor of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Maybe another 5-15 minutes, depending on your walking speed. (You can go at whatever pace you want, but can NOT stop; you'll be told to keep moving forward.) Bad retrieval is there, at the Indy stage. I waited all of 30 seconds for my bag. Then, you'll walk out the other end of the show stage, then out to the park.
I pulled over after getting my bag to change my shoes and get my post-race snack out, but all together it was maybe 20 mins from the time I finished to the time I was in the park, heading to a bathroom.
How long does it tak3 you to walk another mile? I never have bag checked but I always hear the jokes about mile 11 from my running group.
It can sure feel like another mile! The first year, they made us go up and down all the stupid stairs to get our bags in the Indy theater. Here's hoping they don't subject us to THAT unnecessary torture ever again!
