I’m number 1577!!!!!

My offi­cial time at Bay To Break­ers was 1:58:40. I was the 1577^th per­son across the fin­ish line. This means I’ll be list­ed in the “Spe­cial Edi­tion” of the Chron­i­cle, and that I did­n’t need to wor­ry about it. I could have gone a lot slow­er and still been in the top 10,000.

Goal for next year: top 1,000?

I see #1014 in at 1:36:12 and #926 in at 1:33:10, so I bet show­ing up ear­li­er to get a bet­ter start­ing place and not stop­ping to wait in line at the por­tapot­ties would put me in the top 1000 with­out my actu­al­ly get­ting to be a faster or stronger runner.

Looks like one would have to beat one hour to get in the top 100. Beat­ing 1:20 would get me into the top 500 though. Lets see, we did the first mile in 25 min­utes today, so from far­ther toward the front and with­out a pot­ty break, 20 min­utes should eas­i­ly be doable. Then it would be a 9:15 pace for the next 6.5 miles? I dun­no, but it sounds like a doable goal for next year. Top 500 placement.

Oh well, that’s NEXT year. I’ll wor­ry about it later.
