Took it slow the first mile. Did fine although breathing somewhat hard on the steep uphill second mile, but the excitement of the flatness of the bridge I went to hard and it cost me in the end. I wasn't able to pick it up in the end, but I also think that had to do with the fact I was hungry.

Eat more for breakfast. Carry water with me if the day is as beautiful as it was this year. Carry a camera. Do it with a friend and possibly take my sweet time. This course was hard but amazingly beautiful. I do it again today if my knees would allow me. My favorite part of San Fran is really its neighbor Saulsilito with the Marin headlands and the bay. The wind and the smell of salt water. I'll do it again next year just wait. I might do a few more hill workouts before hand though. The downhill was actually harder on the knees than the up.

Walked around the expo, tried to stretch while we were standing in one spot. But I was with a group of non-stretchers. It was the first time I really got to hang out with the group from work. Who knows I might join the racing team. I think they need one more slow person, J/K. Anyway FF racing team showed up in force I think there were 10 of them.


Food, not enought I mean any hill workouts so far this season. But I've decided I'm doing this for fun. I've got too many other things going on to try to be the best at everything.


Everyone has to do this race. It's gorgeous!!! The volunteers were awesome. I would have liked an aid station on the bridge, but I think that is asking too much. They had a billion volunteers. It seemed like each water station had at least 20 people manning it.
