22.3 miles (22.4 on the GPS) 1470 points, 40 seconds to spare

59 30 80 50 70 52 43 64 67 84 39 53 34 44 65 35 40 93 54 73 83 57 62 60 90

We walked approximately 22 miles, jogged the last .3/.4 when we found ourselves a bit shorter on time than we'd like, and rested about 30 minutes (best guestemate over the 7 hrs.)

We skipped 32 in the beginning, because we thought Golden Gardens would be crowded and didn't like our options for also picking up 80 if we got 32. We skipped 42 because we didn't want to use the energy it would take to go down to the water and climb back up again so early in the day.

We did about 21 miles at the San Francisco 7-hr and thought we had less energy for this one, so our initial plan had us going from 39 to 93, and then head north through Wallingford on our way back to the start. We took a food stop in Fremont and decided we had enough energy to do a bigger loop, (though walking up the hill to woodland park next thing, almost had us rethinking.)

We debated whether we had time to pick up 62, and whether or not we wanted to have an easy walk back. In the end, we couldn't bring ourselves to take the easy route, so picked it up. I would have preferred to avoid the run at the very end, but I think picking up that last point made for a more satisfying (and exhausting) finish.
