G ran a personal best for 10km on Sunday, in a time of 42:16. (I think she may well improve on that some time soon). Here is the report in the ContraCostaTimes
Sarah Slaymaker had the best finish among Berkeley-based runners, taking 31st overall. Sarah Smith carried the banner for Piedmont as the 68th overall finisher. Slaymaker and Smith were first and third among women 35-39 with Berkeley's Grethe Petersen between them in second place.
I had the unusual experience of atttending a race as a spectator rather than a participant, as I was still nursing the bruising and bleeding from crashing my bike on the way to the start of the San Francisco marathon.

Bravo, Grethe! If you go on improving on these amazing PBs, you’ll find yourself chalking up negative times, finishing before you start.
