However, that time likely won't get you an elite seeding at a major marathon. It's probably (and I'm guessing here) a club quality time, but not an elite time. Of course, I don't know how much the hills of SF affect times - Boston's hills make it a much slower course than flat Chicago.

but three hours won. how was that elite? isn't women's elite more like 2:40?
