That depends on many factors, and each individual will be different. For some, driving 7 hours is exhausting; for others it's no big deal. Again, for some people a half marathon is just another Sunday long run; whilst for others it's a real challenge. I ran a half marathon the day after flying home from a week at Aulani... it wasn't my best race, but it was just fine -- for me (I run 15-25 km every weekend though). We're flying into Orlando (from western Canada) on the Tuesday and hope that will be sufficient to have a slow day in the parks on Wednesday, expo and parks on Thursday, and fresh legs for the three races.
I know many IronMan athletes and they typically arrive in town two nights before their race when flying long distances: one to deal with any travel delays and another to rest up before the race.
