In the photo I’m massaging a midsection cramp while power hiking uphill, and grinning because I knew I was almost at the top of the last big climb of the course.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />First race post lockdown was exciting, fun, steady, strong, until a downhill trip (no fall) broke my momentum, strained the right leg/glute, and killed the appetite. Struggled and pushed thru remaining climbs to finish strong on the final downhill without injury, 26s longer than 2018.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Great starting with 50k runners Bryan & Eliza, and having pal Erika run me in the last 4 miles (also took this 📷) and share salty snacks, a needed boost.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Taking notes as memories resurface.

Started(1) just before Emma & Olivia’s time trial. Barely made it up the first road before Nick caught up leading the speed train with Paddy bringing up the caboose(2). #<span class="p-category auto-tag">BlackLivesMatter</span> signs are present in many of the yards(3) on roads up to Tam.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Part way up #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Temelpa</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trail</span> *someone(s)* had decorated a fir tree with holiday ornaments!(4). The views from the summit was the haziest I’d ever seen, SF(5) and Mount Diablo(6) barely visible. Despite the haze and cold (42F), it was one of my quicker recent ascents(7). On the way down I checked PurpleAir and the AQI was 100+(8) which would normally make it too hard to run. Perhaps the trees & bushes filtered the air along the trail. I could smell wood burning stoves & fireplaces as I ran back down the road to Mill Valley. Finished my 9th Tam ascent & descent on the same steep route (AKA H.A.M. on Tam) and returned to the Mill Valley depot where I started. <br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Congrats <a class="auto-link h-cassis-username" href="https://twitter.com/emmakayemccune">@emmakayemccune</a> on a new Tam Ascent Course Record!

Beautiful day, started in Tennessee Valley Parking lot, just after 08:00. Marincello trail was lined with fresh green grasses(1) from recent rains. Alta trail’s forest pretty as ever(2). Noticed a spot on SCA trail where trees on either side framed the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance(3), before running to SCA look out point for a view of San Francisco, and the sun lighting up the bay(4). <br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />At the peak of Slacker trail, I could just make out Rodeo lagoon, and Rodeo beach(5). Running down to the beach, the sun glistened off the water, backlighting a fisherman and a few surfers(6). On the Coastal trail climb, a seemingly unreachable cove, secluded yet visible from above, with an inviting beach(7). Hiking up to Hill 88, looked back down at Rodeo Beach(8). Returning on Old Springs trail, caught a view of Tenneessee Valley down to the beach(9).<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Finished the SFRC loop of the week and joined friends at Good Earth for a sandwich.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />#<span class="p-category auto-tag">run</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">AltaTrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">SCATrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">SlackeTrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">RodeoBeach</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">CoastalTrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Hill88</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">OldSpringsTrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">TenneesseeValley</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">runner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">runners</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trailRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trailRun</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">ultraRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Marin</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">MarinHeadlands</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trailsForBreakfast</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">optoutside</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">fromWhereIRun</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">NeverStopExploring</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">InstaRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">50miletraining</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">laterGram</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">2020_011</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">20200111</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">noFilter</span>http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-01-13T07:16:00+00:002020-01-13T07:16:00+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttp://tantek.com/Tantek San Francisco, CA tag:status.blaise.ca,2020-01-13:objectType=thread:nonce=3db2124e76270667http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notehttps://tantek.com/2020/004/t2/first-sfrc-year-full-routeNew note by <a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_DRLnGz3bP1Bwa4RWqdx7W5Kl5UpaGZqoWSSwZodCu1c.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_ZtlMyKrvcSvEBtdOFzbJ1rIWypMEpmSymCrIx1ZPwYY.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_388_lHLEzGrJHfh6YEwKr492Gi9HhJl_dDWGHQRTnm4.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_kpz1XvTC31hI79QIZkdcJo-bdA3Hott2GyuRafkQ61s.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_QwnUztoRc-YGbN9depNH49HDr3B7RTWO3BsHFzfxxEE.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_ILwQSrl6M3j0Eli3rFzzPQIx4P5bJQaO8sQ0nA6-o20.jpg"></a><a class="auto-link figure u-bridgy-flickr-photo" href="https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/original/476_ZPQxuW9z7P-1_ErPJqTXNxIv9uUuf-XZ6JtxrMJPzro.jpg"></a>⛰🏃🏻♂️ First #<span class="p-category auto-tag">SFRC</span> of the year today, 13.5 miles ✅ Finished first full route since #<span class="p-category auto-tag">ECSCA</span>, and longest run since too! It was a struggle TBH, leg muscles still tired from Tuesday’s Tam PR (<a class="auto-link" href="http://tantek.com/t54M2">tantek.com/t54M2</a>), and an intense Thursday Baptiste yoga class.

Whitney waited for me at the top of the ridge line where we captured photos of dramatic clouds above and passing in front of Mount Tam(6 📷 Whitney).

Touched the water(4) and noticed blue skies in the distance to the Northwest(5). I cut the route short via the beautiful Middle Green Gulch trail up to Coyote Ridge. From the Coyotoe Ridge peak(6) I could see the North side of Muir beach, and a thin blue line of clear Pacific Ocean over the clouds(1). Looking south the city was still covered by fog, just a few buildings and Sutro tower poking through(7).

Tam almost two weeks ago with pal Hannah (1). The #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trails</span> are not (2) as green as they were two months ago (<a class="auto-link" href="http://tantek.com/t4zc1">tantek.com/t4zc1</a>). After an 88:31 climb (tied my 2nd fastest time) to Mt. Tam’s East peak summit, I could barely see the tiny San Franisco skyline poking through a thick fog blanket (3). Looking East the sun was rising far above the horizon, already well on its way at 7:30am (4).<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Chasing Hannah back down the hill was faster than a month ago, setting a PR on the first 1.6 miles of steep technical descent. With a gentler downhill, Hannah ran ahead and disappeared. I settled into a good rhythm and pace of my own, having become more familiar with these trails.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />While enjoying the Tenderfoot trail forest, I noticed the ground felt squishier from the recent rains. The trail narrowed with a hill on one side and ravine on the other. Suddenly the earth gave way under my right foot, I felt lower body start to spin and fall downward in slow motion, impact the side of the ravine, and start sliding.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />I remember thinking, how far am I going to slide, followed shortly by, I have to stop! I spun to press against the hill, threw my arms up, dug my hands & fingers into the soft earth, slowing and stopping the slide. Took a few seconds to realize what happened, spit out some mud, and balance myself against the side of the hill to look up.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />I’d slid ~20-30 feet down into the ravine. Nothing felt broken. I looked down and couldn't really see how far down I’d have to go. Looking back up I leaned my body into the side of the hill and slowly crawled up, keeping in contact. Made it back to the trail. Collected myself, scraped most of the mud off myself and my handheld water bottle, clearing off the mud at the top so I could still drink what was left. Another self-inspection, lots of scrapes from left forearm, to thigh, and knee which was bleeding but didn’t hurt. Shock, I’m sure.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Ran the rest of the trail, and onto Cascade road. I could start to feel the dirt stinging in my skin. Made it back to Equator coffee in downtown Mill Valley where Hannah was waiting. She checked to make sure I was ok, then took a photo at my request (5). Not pictured: my forearms muddy from elbow to wrist.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />After wiping off a bit more, I drove us back to the city, went home, and scrubbed off all the mud & dirt in the shower. Scrapes & bruises, nothing broken, nothing twisted or strained.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Despite the fall, I set my second fastest time for the Mt.
