Presidio Trail Run Results

51:18. Not bad, not bad. I could have pushed it but I wanted to save my reserve for the last mile, which was a good thing. The funny thing was I fell into this pace with this girl and her boyfriend for the last half of the loop (last 3 miles), beginning at Crissy Field Beach. We definitely drafted each other. For the last mile I decided to take off. At the last quarter mile or so, they chased me and passed me across the finish line. Classic group run push and pull. It felt great.

Editor's Updated Note: My 10K Santa Cruz race time was 55:52. So I was able to shave 4:34 off on this run.

The weather in SF was perfect (in retrospect) for running, a little chilly and misty from the fog, mixed with the ocean breeze. In all there were thirteen of us who showed up for the run. One girl from our group placed second overall for her category, with a blistering 7.21 minute mile, crossing the finish line at 46 minutes or so. Nuts man nuts.

Reading Kat's blog regarding why we run kinda reminds me of that line in Batman Begins: "Why do we fall, sir? So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up." Why do we run? So we can run better/faster next time around.
