What a glorious day!  Great weather for a run with the average run temperature in the low to mid 60s.  We had a great day with quite a few supporters to cheer us on today.  After meeting at church at 6:00am, we checked in at 7:00, picked up a fairy to Angel Island at 7:50, and started our race around 8:30.  The climb was very hard!  It started with many stairs then went to steep narrow switchbacks all the way to the top of the hill.  Total distance was 8k (about 5 miles) however there was 800 feet of climb which feels like a lot more than it sounds like it would be.

Official times:

• Jacob – 52:27 minutes – 28th out of 102 total – 3rd out of 6 in age group
• Michael – 52:28 minutes 29th out of 102 total – 4th out of 6 in age group

Congratulations team!  Next time….. we need to do EVEN MORE hill training!
