Im coming back to visit some of my old haunts Jan 27-31 and I am doing the dserunners Windmill run on the 30th. Anyone else showing up?
Never heard of it. Something I should know about?
its a 6.5 mile run that starts at the windmill in Golden Gate Park. its very low key and cheap!$5.00. i want to see how my running is stacking up so far this winter. its been hard to get any quality speedwork done here in Indiana this winter, too dark and roads messed up so Im looking forward to a little CA weather.
I may run that. Its on the same track as the SF half marathon, which is the next week. Could be a good final tempo workout. I ran the Dub Dipsea with those guys, was a super laid back/festive environment. Probably be some good eats as well!
judging from the winning time from last year and some of their other races this year something around a 5:50 pace could win it. Ive run some in the park and it didnt seem too hilly. any idea of the topography? If all goes well Id like to average 5:40 something pace.
I would guess its going to be close to dead flat up and down the beach. If it goes back into the park then it will very gradually go up for the first few miles and maybe turn around and come back down. No real SF style hills in the area. Should be very fast for SF.
Sounds like fun, I’ll come out but will be running about a minute per mile slower than you 
Oh and DSE is Dolphin/South End which is a group of runners from both of the bay swimming clubs. I think more social than real races (although plenty of good athletes around down there).
thanks for the topography info, i figured it was pretty flat.
If you go feel free to introduce yourself, Ill be the tall guy in red adidas singlet and shorts with shaved legs:)
