Describe your warmup:
Walking from the hotel to the race area. Finding porta potties and the buses for bag check. Very crowded in the start areas - waiting body to body for the start with barely breathing room.
Race Details - Start of Race:
Started running through the city. Garmin lost signal in the tall buildings for a little while. Then ran down along the bay. Nice cool day, great temp.
Race Details - Middle of Race:
Could see the hills coming up with the line of runners going up the hill. Weren't as hard as I thought they would be. Would get to the top of a hill and think that was the top and we'd turn a corner and see another climb before us. Overall, a lot of fun to run with so many women.
Race Details - Finish:
Ran through Golden Gate Park. By that time, was glad that we were almost done and not doing the full marathon.
