Windmill Run
Jan 30th, 2005 (Sun)
It was a beautiful day in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and this would be my first race using new improved run technique (high-cadence landing on my toes instead of over-striding and heel striking). The result: 7:08/mile pace for 6.5 miles, which is quite a bit faster than anything I’ve done over 10k so far…
It was a beautiful sunny day in San Francisco, a perfect day to do the 6.5-mile Windmill Run. This run was held by the SF Dolphin South End Runners, which was founded in 1966.
The run went through San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and started by this field of colorful flower arrangements.
The start was just about 500 feet across the Great Highway from the beach/Pacific Ocean. If you look closely you can see the Cliff House in the distance
Registration was held here and was just $5 for non-members. In my opinion, this is how most short races should be held--forget the "free" T-shirt (that actually constitutes almost half of the registration fee) and just clutters up runners' closets with the gazillion other ones they got from races.
Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
