The most memorable thing about this run was that it was freakin' cold at the start line! But, luckily, I have an awesome little sister who a) let us sleep at her house the night before; b) drove me to the start line so I could stay in her car until the last possible minute! Of course, my favorite part was seeing my cheer squad at the finish line (a nice surprise as I wasn't sure Tom would be able to get all of the kids up and at 'em in time for the finish!). Stats: Age: 9/65 (13.8%) Overall: 153/735 (20.8%) Gender: 34/365 (9.3%) Total time: 1:53:16 Pace: 8:38 Splits: 4-mile: 35:21 My favorite thing about this run was the purple tech tee I got! I also earned an extra medal for completing 3 runs in the Bay Area Running series (Santa Cruz Half, Jungle Run, and Morgan Hill Half). Also, I passed a dad (who looked like he had just started a 1-mile run) with his 13-year old son. Chatted with them for a minute and eventually, that kid passed me (as did his dad who continued to look like he was on the shortest run ever)! Amazing and inspiring. I hope I will be able to run these distances with my kids some day. The course was uphill for the entire first half. Here are my notes from Runkeeper which reported a Total Climb of 4889: Total climb stats are off by quite a margin, but yes, this was a hilly run. Analyzed the GPX file across a few other tools and these show a total climb (total ascent + total descent) as ~3020ft; Total climb: 1515ft; Total descent: 1505-1508ft. Unfortunately, elevation data is only as good as the device and, apparently, GPS on mobile is notoriously inaccurate.
