Woke up at 3:25 to take the 4:05 bus to be there for a 5:30am start. Warmed up 25 min before and then just tried to stay warm. Took a gu around 7.5 and 16. Took sips of water at 3 other stations. The first 9 miles felt pretty easy, with everyone chatting as if we were just doing a long run together. All of a sudden chris and jorge dropped me on a big downhill (despite me running a 5:02 mile). I caught back up with them and then felt great through 14 miles. The pace started to feel faster and I dropped from chris and jorge around 15.5 in. From there just tried to stay calm and focused. A MUNI tram cut me off, which pissed me off because the volunteers at the intersection told ME to hold up instead of stopping the MUNI tram. Caught jorge with a few miles to go, but then he gapped me again w/ 2 miles to go when I got a small side stitch. With half a mile to go the course was not clearly marked and then he got caught on the wrong side of a fence and so he crossed the finish line after me, but was beating me by 50m with half a mile to go. I don't know who would have won if the course was properly marked, so I'll give myself 2.5th place. Forgot to stop my watch after I crossed the finish line, so my last lap is a couple minutes long.
