• Comments: Looking forward at my shot for sub 3:30 at Chicago...Race is well run and fun, the crowd support is nothing compared to Chicago but the marathon is the smallest of the race weekend. I think the early start 5:30 has a lot to do with limited support. The hills are murder so get ready to suffer. Plenty of hotels in the area as well for out of towners. I don't recommend sticking a marathon in the middle of tri season though :) Brother and I made the San Fran paper since mom was interviewed somewhere on course http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/04/BAUM124...
