Pacing Experience: I've paced the California International Marathon 3:00 and 3:10 group the past 7 years. I also pace a few marathons each year for the ClIF Bar pace team and have also paced The New York Marathon.
With the Santa Rosa marathon a flat course, we should be able to maintain pretty even splits - just a nice even effort. I grew up in the area and am looking forward to running some of the old familiar areas with you.
I'm a software developer for the medical industry. I've also completed races from 100 mile ultra trail marathons like Western States to racing my bicycle in the Race Across America in 2009 to also competing in triathlons.

Took up running in 2005, at age 49. First marathon at age 50 in 2006. (Orange County) Ran 3:06:23. Haven't stopped since (total of 20 marathons now) PR of 3:04:59 (2:39:46 age-graded) in 2010, at age 54 (St. George). Now more of an ultra trail runner. Several 50-milers, 50ks, and sub 24-hour at the Western States 100-miler last year. Age group course record for the Avalon 50-miler; and overall course record for the Rocky Road 50-miler. L.A. County (La Mirada) resident. Dad lives in Santa Rosa. Love the Parks and hills there. A lawyer in my spare time. Maybe some free legal advice as we run. Looking forward to being out on the streets of Santa Rosa on the 26th!

Started running in 2007 with a half marathon and vowed never to race again. Ran CIM in 2008 and vowed never to race again. Just ran Boston this year for my 10th marathon and have run marathons in six different states. Have paced friends in 5ks to half marathons. Finished a 50k in 2010.

Back in 2010, I ran a PR on the Santa Rosa course and I (finally!) qualified for the NYC Marathon, which I blissfully (as seen in my picture, at about mile 22) ran the following year. As a 'thank you' to all those associated, I happily look forward to pacing the 4-hour runners. Santa Rosa will be my 2nd time pacing (I led the 4:00 runners at the OC Surf City Marathon) and my 10th full marathon. I don't look forward to training in the brutal East Bay heat during the summer but it'll be far better than last summer's Half Ironman Training! I have been a track coach for 5 years at my son's middle school so you can expect quite a bit of positive chatter and pick-me-ups during our 4 hours together.
Train smart and I'll see you this summer!

Lynn Delgado first started running in 1984 but shortly after graduating from high school in 1985 she stopped...."life!" Although a short running career, it definitely set the stage for a strong running foundation for her mid 40's. After 27 years of not running & picking up a few pounds or more, in 2009 Lynn begin training for her first marathon. After 9 months of training, Lynn ran her first marathon in November of 2009. Since then Lynn has ran 20 marathons and qualified and ran Boston in 2012. Lynn's personal record is 3:50. Lynn's goal is to run 50 marathon's by her 50th birthday.
When not running, Lynn spends time with her husband of 26 years and their 3 children. Lynn works as a License Clinical Social Worker. Lynn also cross trains with yoga and cycling.
I’m a runner for the Impala Racing Team, an all-women’s racing group in San Francisco. I’ve been running since high school track, but my current favorite distances to race are half marathons and marathons! This past year, I ran in the marathon Olympic Trials in Houston with 13 of my teammates, which was my 10th marathon and an incredible experience. I’ve run in 20 half marathons, including several in foreign countries, since taking up long-distance racing in 2009, and I’m excited to help pace you to your 3:00 goal!

Marathon: 2:43:57 (California International Marathon, 2011)

A former varsity cross country and track athlete at Princeton University (Class of 2010), oved to San Francisco about one month after graduation. I have been working as a clinical study coordinator at UCSF's Breast Care Center since then but am looking forward to bnning medical school (also at UCSF) this fall. Although I am not pursuing a post-collegiate running career, I have joined the San Francisco-based Impala Racing Team and have really enjoyed the opportunities that I have had to compete in road races throughout northern California and even at national-level meets. I have been to Napa-Sonoma only once before and am very eager to return to the area for this race and the celebrations that will inevitably follow!

Bio: I have paced Shamrock'n Half Marathon since it began and adore pacing. Chit-chatting to keep the mood light and finding encouraging words when someone feels a rough patch brings out the teacher in me.. I also, when asked give out little pieces of advice: dropping shoulders to rest, bringing back elbows when going uphill, closing the water cup so the water doesn't end up in your nose...
I have a marathon PR of 3:26 (St. George 2011) a half marathon PR of 1:26 (Fontana 2011) and a 5K PR of 20:12 (Sacramento 2011).

I have learned a lot from the other runners and I am looking forward to meeting and running with you! We will have lots of fun on our way to the finish!
Chris Taylor is a 44 year old sergeant on the Sacramento Police Department. He ran more than he ever wanted to in the Marine Corps. In spite of that, he found he truly enjoyed running wilderness trails. He routinely runs 50KM and 50 Mile trail races. He has run 100KM one time. He isn't fast and he has never PR'd. The only thing he ever won was a pair of shoes at the 12 Hours At Cool Night Run in 2007.He runs a couple road marathons each year, usually as a back-of-the-pack pace team leader, because he greatly enjoys seeing people achieve their running goals.Typically, he runs 26.2 in 5 hours 10 minutes by running roughly 11 min 40 second miles for the first 19 miles, then he slows down a little. He doesn't run/walk according to strict timelines, but does walk a little every mile, incorporating terrain, aid stations, and the needs of anyone in the pace group trying to qualify for Boston.
