day two-hundred-twenty-nine...

ran bay to breakers. after arriving downtown before 7:30am to meet some friends, we stood in line until almost 8:30am for the restroom. had to run past, around, and through the crazy costumed hoards of partiers when we finally hit the trail. felt more like an nfl running back stopping, starting, and cutting through closing gaps in the crowd. wasn't until the hayes hill down slope that it finally opened up. after running past noah and melissa will a high five it was onto golden gat park where i made great time. the downhill turn helped as i burned past and around many joggers before hitting the clearing and sprinting to the finish line. final time was 1:05:11. shave at least 5 minutes off that time for the difficulty starting the first few miles.

100% = Approximate World-Record Level
Over 90% = World Class
Over 80% = National Class
Over 70% = Regional Class
Over 60% = Local Class

so i'm not even "local class." i never said i had class. i'm happy with 12k (7.48 miles) in 1:05. and after waiting for a few minutes at the end of the race not finding my friends, i started the upward sloping walk back to the panhandle. but it was taking too long so after 6 blocks i ran. 3 miles later i was back past gold gate park, still feeling strong, and ready to snap a lot of ridiculous photos.

that's 10.5 miles of running today. with all the additional walking i did my feet are dead. legs dead. but i'm pleased.

weight: super
