Jennifer,

I hope you have lots of fun in SF this coming weekend. Hopefully the weather holds up for you. As of now, rain is predicted Friday through Sunday. I can't remember if I mentioned that there are some (not many at all) hilly sections. Take it easy on the downhill section after your first crossing of the Golden Gate. It is a steep-ish grade and unpaved. I started to get some hip pain at this point as I hadn't trained on any downhills leading up to the race. Also, when going across the bridge, make sure to take in the view -- it is spectacular. It's so easy to get tunnel vision, just looking ahead at the jersey in front of you, but you really don't want to miss the views during this race.

If you make it to the Expo, be sure to get your goodie bag and free samples!

Have fun, and I look forward to reading your race report!
