 Run
Comments: Took about 10 minutes to get to the start line. First 3 miles just had to go with the flow no room to stay in any kind of grove. Tried to keep pace with a guy wearing an IM Arizona Jersey. He was doing a run walk combo so ended up passing him at about mile 2. Hayes St hill started at about mile 2.5 It wasn't as bad as I remembered it last averaged a 12 min mile for that portion compared to about a 14 min/mile last year. After the hill the course thinned out enough to get into a little of a groove. HR was in mid to hight zone 2 at this point so I knew I could push it a little bit harder. Saw way to many dudes running naked (1 was too many) Really tried to push it once I hit mile 6 and held a 8:00 min/mile pace for a while but since I didn't drink anything on the course felt a little weak and backed off until I hit the turn to the finish and kicked it in. Ave HR for entire run was upper zone 2 with a high of 198. Could have went harder if there was more room. What would you do differently?: Work my way closer to the front to start Drink on the course Push myself a little harder  Post race
Warm down: about a 1/2 mile walk to post race activities What limited your ability to perform faster: my weight little hill training 60,000+ other runners Event comments: Fun event Gave us a free timing chip to commemorate it's 95th year More of a 12k party than race Last updated: 2006-11-18 12:00 AM

Expert 755 SF-Bay Area | Subject: RE: Bay to Breakers Good job! Notice you shave some serious time off your 2006 finish too! Yeah, got to get up to at least the Blue-zone (right behind the seeded runners) if you want to avoid the congestion delays of the crowds. That means arriving 60-75 min. early.\ How was the "Footstock" party? I wish I coulda stayed. |

None not enought room Website says about 23000+ runners but I think there were a lot more.
