Run Results

As I said, this isn't really a competitive thing, nor was time important (it was 8.5k, and there was a fair amount of walking at the beginning just to get up the stairs ;-) However, the results make a fun link, plus if you poke around on the site they have some pics and stuff. Off to do a quick run.

Here is a little blurb from the race director... "Yesterday was the perfect example of what spending the day running on beautiful trails with lots of fun people can do. As we stood at the start line in the pouring rain, waiting for the time that the last group of runners could start, it looked as if it was going to be a long, soggy day filled with shivering runners hurrying around the course, undistracted by the views, anxious to get back down the stairs and onto the ferry. Instead, the day was overflowing with muddy-yet-satisfied runners commenting on the spectacular views of the cities and bridges, the grazing deer, the various little eco-systems filled with blooming daffodils and Calla lilies and various mushrooms, and the incredible beauty and downright coolness that is Angel Island. Thank you so much for joining us yesterday, even with the threatening weather predictions, and for helping us to remember that it doesn’t take a perfect-weather day to have a blast on Angel Island." - Wendell & Sarah
