The Mill Cafe and Bakery in San Francisco

It was Bay to Breakers 2013, but we went across the bay, dressed normally, to get coffee and bread at The Mill.

A Saturday in May in Oakland

another gorgeous saturday in Oakland:

Oaklandish storefront

I stopped by Oaklandish to drop off some Antietam Designs earrings.  They were working on getting their Manifesto collab bike display up in the window.  Then I visited Sweet Bar at 24th and Broadway; I’d been meaning to stop by for quite some time now.  I picked up the Strawberry Rhubarb Polenta upside-down cake.  Delicious.

Beauty’s Bagel: Coffee and a Bagel Sandwich

Before visiting friends and family all the way down in San Jose, we stopped by Beauty’s Bagel Shop for some sustenance for us and our hosts.  I’d already had my morning shot of espresso, which was either the Burundi from Pacific Bay or some very old Starbucks Blonde Roast (aka backup coffee), but I couldn’t turn down a good one of Flying Goat.

I got a egg and cheese bagel sandwich on an everything bagel as well as a few more bagels with cream cheese for the road.  The sandwich was predictably yummy.  The bagels are a little flatter and smaller than a good New York style bagel, but have plenty of chew.

Photos from the 2013 Oakland Marathon

 

I stood out on Telegraph Avenue at about 7:45am to see the first runners come through.  People were still setting up their unofficial water station and a few sort of hungover guys were starting to erect their giant wooden sign for their friend whose name and nickname I can no longer remember.  It started with an “E” though.

 

2012 winner Chris Mocko was way out in front at this point:

Runners Shinji Nakadai, Osamu Tada, and Rob Nachtwey were clustered maybe 30 seconds to a minute behind at this point.  It turns out that these three would become the top 3 overall finishers.  These three started closing in on Mocko by mile 10 and eventually pulled ahead at mile 14.  Chris Mocko pulled off with an injury.  Shinji Nakadai has a few ultras under his belt and apparently thought that he had run the race too conservatively.  Shinji Nakadai ended up finishing with a time of 2:37:29, followed by Rob Nachtwey at 2:40:14 and Osamu Tada at 2:42:56.   Chris Mocko still ended up finishing 7th overall, with a time of 2:56:13.
