There's plenty of area with inclines in my neighborhood where I can train to prep for those San Francisco elevation changes.

I think the biggest disappointment has to be when they are out of medals. My neck feels so empty when everyone else had one and I don't.<br /><br />Thanks, un-Zen Runner!

I'm *really* sorry I missed out on all the sights of the city.<br /><br />I think a big hats off to the race organizers is in order. All too often, I've finished near the back of the pack only to get to the finish and find that there's nothing left to eat or drink. I thought they had done a really good job of planning to maximize the enjoyment of everyone on the course!Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-91455070226671687732010-07-29T12:24:44.255-07:002010-07-29T12:24:44.255-07:00Thank you Angelina and Tricotine! ::big hugs::Thank you Angelina and Tricotine! ::big hugs::The Green Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319714826599995511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-68878618307194836872010-07-29T12:22:25.003-07:002010-07-29T12:22:25.003-07:00Good job and thank you for a great race report! ☺ ...Good job and thank you for a great race report! ☺ You did really well despite circumstances!
