The end shows Mile 9, which was halfway up this short but really steep hill. I couldn't make it. I almost passed out. It was such a weird deal. First, I was supposed to be off that Friday to drive up and stay w/my sister. But ended up working until almost 7 p.m. so I didn't get up to Karen's until close to midnight and only had a couple handfuls of peanuts and about a gallon of diet pepsi on the drive up.
THEN it was freakishly hot on the Marin headlands that day, like 90 degrees.
So I almost passed out and had to quit the race at mile 10. I did make it over this little hump and then it was a mile down to the next aid station. Then another 2 miles uphill and a mile down to the finish. I thought about trying it after I rested up and got a couple gallons of Gatorade in me...but nahhh...didn't want to have some firefighter have to hike up and haul me off!
Crazy race! But GORGEOUS!
