Women's Nike Marathon

I went to watch the Nike Woman's Marathon in San Francisco where two of my family members were registered to do their 1st ever full marathon. The course had the runners start at Union Square downtown San Francisco and finish at the Great Highway near Golden Gate Park. We managed to find parking along a side street running parallel to the Great Highway that was a few miles from the finish.

The whole family was there for moral support. I figured I would bring my xtracycle along to give the kids a ride around while we wait for our two runners to come by. We positioned ourselves near mile 17/24 of the course and setup tables and chairs, brought cow bells and all kinds of snacks and drinks.

It was overcast and cold, but the kids did not seem to really mind. The kids took turns riding on the back of the xtracycle while we waited. When the first of our marathoners, Cici showed up I ended up following her the rest of the run to and promised her a ride back if she completed the marathon.

I ended up shuttling both marathoners, Cici and Bubet back after their run, logging 20 miles of my own. They were glad I was there for the support and of course the ride back!

Congratulations to the both of them for completing their 1st full marathon!

Cici still all smiles after 26 miles!

Bubet making out like a caped crusader!

Coming in for a landing!

Job well done you two!
