Race: The San Francisco Marathon (Half-Marathon)
Date: July 26th, 2009
Location: San Francisco, California
Notes:
What can I say, this race kicked my arse! The first few miles were mellow and flat. By the time you’re warmed up (and it was a nice nippy/chilly morning), the first steep climb greets you, or rather, smacks you in the face! Never have I, in all the races I’ve ran, encountered such a steep incline. This was around mile 5. So the climb started with a really steep grade and it kind of levelled off but you were still climbing and felt the burn on your quads. The funny thing was, they had these signs posted on the side of the road. Like, trivia questions that the race organizers put up to read as you ran past them. It was really funny that I had to take photos of it (please forgive the quality of these photos as they were taken with my mobile)!
