Re: Andy's San Francisco Marathon
Way to go, Andy! That rest really did you well. I'm so glad everything turned out well and the course sounds absolutely beautiful. I was in San Fran once a long, long time ago and would love to go back one day. Maybe the half. Although the Golden Gate park is quite lovely ...

Here is my video finish line #2613 ... just look for the Orange RM Schwag ...
There are actually two different views at the finish line and two others on the road, so just let the clip run it's course, as there may be a slight delay between the 4 clips ...

Re: Andy's San Francisco Marathon
Congratulations Andy. I was there as well and it was a great day for a run. Fantastic course. A cool weather marathon in the middle of the summer is sweet. I was at the start of wave 3 so I must have missed you. There was a 10 minute gap between waves 1-2 and wave 3 which meant they could have this on a narrower course and including the Golden Gate bridge. It worked like a charm as it was a large race but I rarely felt crowded.

I actually passed you on the Golden Gate Bridge when you were coming across the 7 mile marker and waved to you, but guess you were kinda busy leading your crew ...

Sorry I missed you. The Bridge was very tight. Might have run with you but we moved back to the start of wave 3 and there seemed to be a lot of 3:40 runners there and the security--which looked like Hells Angels--were pretty fundamentalist about people moving up a wave. Interesting the large number of wave starts they had with 10 minute intervals. Allowed for a narrow course--including fewer lanes of the Golden Gate Bridge and more room for runners. Heard that one of the reasons for the change was a security assessment after 9-11 that suggested there were too many people at one time on the Golden Gate Bridge. It also allowed for a good flow of runners at the finish. Think I was drinking my free beer about 10 minutes after finishing. Nothing like beer before 10 am. HIghly recommend this marathon.
