Headlands Half
My first long distance run under my new zone 2 running regiment, unfortunately not the best route for staying in zone 2 as it's super steep up for the first part so I had to walk to maintain zone 2 (actually zone 3 -- I have given up on trying to stay in whatever my heart tracker things is zone 2), then it was super steep down for the second part so I had to walk again.
But definitely the prettiest marathon course as you repeatedly turn into inspiring views of the Bay and SF.
I was distracted though, as I was trying to do some mental time travel as I ran because I'm pretty sure I came here on a three day field trip in 5th or 6th grade and I got sick during a hike so I wanted to travel back in time and encourage myself to continue with the hike rather than going back to the dorm to sleep, thus altering my life in unpredictable ways. But because you're reading this text, I obviously didn't succeed. Or maybe you're not reading it. I don't know.
Apparently I placed 3rd, as evidenced by this ribbon the organizer sent me. 3rd... amongst males 45 to 49. My group has gotten older and probably smaller so I wouldn't be surprised if there were only three of us.
