Given that today was a VERY windy day over by Great Highway, I think everyone did a wonderful job to start the racing season. You will only get better as the season progresses and as you keep coming to adidas Urban Run San Francisco this year (not a shameless plug, just an honest assessment). :)

Weather forecast from Yahoo/Weather.com:
Today: Windy with rain showers. High 52F. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 70%.


Results:

Anders R. 1:30:45
Oliver C. 1:32:59
Adrian J. 1:33:14
Celeste D. 1:33:16
Jason R. 1:37:19
Brian V. 1:38:09
Joel R. 1:48:19
Chi-Hee K. 1:49:49
Philippe A 1:54:54

This is Paul from adidas Global Brand Communication.
I'm getting in touch with you, because we are planning a bigger photoshooting in the Bay Area mid Feb. Instead of hiring models we would preferably
connect with the local running scene to get the right talent for your shooting. For that exact reason I'm getting in touch with you:

We are very excited about the shooting and believe this is an equally
exciting opportunity for the San Francisco Running Scene.

Please let me know if there is any information missing that you would require from our end. Thanks in advance.

All the best from Germany:
Paul
