This was a totorolly simple and easy costume.
With so many back-to-back races and costumes to make for the month of May, I just needed something easy and store-bought. I was already pouring so much time into engineering Eve, that for the half marathon, I wanted something easy BUT I still want to be original. That's kind of the base of my operations-- is to dress up as something I haven't seen before.
After my Pizza Planet delivery costume, I'm starting to really dig wearing aprons for races. They're comfortable, easy to pack and put together, and relatively cheap. This was an apron I got from Hong Kong via Amazon. Though I know technically Totoro isn't a Disney character, every Diz nut knows that Pixar loves Studio Ghibli and Totoro even has a cameo in Toy Story 3.
Also, this was the first time I stopped for so many character photos. Being fast and in Corral A rocks. Though I could've easily done sub 2:05 or even sub 2:00 without stopping, this was an amazing race!
