What a beautiful race route! This had to be the most scenic route I have run. The day started cold (50 Degrees). So I was bundled up with my mittens and knit cap. By race time the sun was trying to come out, after a day of pouring rain. The race started and ended at the Aquatic Park at the warf. We ran through the Presidio, across the Golden Gate Bridge and back! On the way through the Presidio, it began to rain, which was fine because I had warmed up by then and it felt good. The first view of the Golden Gate Bridge, revealed a rainbow from tip to tip of the bridge. It was amazing! I wish I was running with a camara so I could share.
This was my first Half Marathon that I was able to run the whole way! I had a PR of 02:51:39! That is 5 minutes faster than my last half marathon. I am really please with that as this race had some killer hills! I felt really good after the race too. I did my stretches, walked around the finish area and walked back to the hotel for my Ice Bath! We then spent the day walking around the city with our friends until it was time to catch our flight home. It was really a great race weekend!
