New Year's One Day Race Report: Saw The Golden Gate Bridge Roughly 41 Times.

The Course: Just keep turning right until 2014.   I ran 41 laps for 43.7 miles in 12 hours. I made 164 right turns. I saw at least twice that many people taking selfies with the Golden Gate Bridge.  I made two mistakes.  The recap: Lap 1. Hour Zero - High Noon - The Start - Current Mood On Top Of The World - The grin spread across my face as the group of us, everyone with their hands on their watches, waited for Wendell to count us down to the start. "Norphel came out yesterday and ran the course, so he knows where he's going...follow him." And then we were off, "Have fun out there" . I had never faced a start line like this one. There was no finish line in front of me, only time. Lots and lots of time.  I didn't realize it was possible for Runner's High to kick in three seconds into a run but WOOOO-WEEE! The earbuds went in, the music went on, and everything was beautiful...the air, the sun, the bay, the bridge..
