I am not sure what spots these are, but perhaps it is at William Cann Park and/or at the Alameda Creek Stables staging area.Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239814669299286109.post-84456751541460258982008-01-28T10:07:00.000-08:002008-01-28T10:07:00.000-08:00Btw, I was never off course, but my Forerunner 305...Btw, I was never off course, but my Forerunner 305 showed 35.5 Miles after 7 hours. This includes the exact 5 miles from my home to the S/F. Therefore, the course is 30.5 miles according to my GPS, but the 50K distance should be right because the GPS normally reports about 2% shorter.<BR/><BR/>My first 50K was about 5:30. With my son's company, I struggled for the last few miles to the finish with my PF acting on.<BR/><BR/>ChihpingChihping Fu 傅治平 (超馬阿爸)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15841260427578138489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239814669299286109.post-4118549862771197072008-01-27T18:42:00.000-08:002008-01-27T18:42:00.000-08:00What a perfect running weather in-between the stor...What a perfect running weather in-between the storms!

And, Mark, thanks for giving me the once in a lifetime experience of seeing you finish a race AFTER me even if you did have to run a few extra miles to make it happen :-)Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239814669299286109.post-64788718814855790632008-01-27T11:09:00.000-08:002008-01-27T11:09:00.000-08:00Catra, Nice pics, great weather (I credit you with...Catra, Nice pics, great weather (I credit you with not only the lack of rain, but actually perfect running conditions--okay, maybe a little windy), and a fun time.
