2015 San Francisco Marathon

Dr. Meza is not among the finishers for the 2015 San Francisco Marathon.  He missed the first timing mat at 2.3 miles, but hit 5.5M at 36:46 for a pace of 6:42/mi., 7.5M at 54:21 for a pace of 7:15/mi. and 13.3M at 1:30:05 for a pace of 6:47.  He did not hit any of the remaining timing mats and shows no finish time.  However, he does appear on the course at the finish, and at the 7.5M timing mat.  In fact, he appears twice at the 7.5M mat, apparently doubling back around at one point.  He can be seen carrying his D-tag timing device on a lanyard in his hand, when all other runners have the tag attached to their shoes.  Dr. Meza has been seen using this technique before at the 2014 San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, where he was photographed lowering the D-tag on the lanyard to the timing mat.

The first photo is a sequence of photos from the same photographer at the 7.5M timing mat showing Dr. Meza circling back to the mat a second time.  Note he can be seen in the background of two of the photos, and that he changes the D-tag from one hand to the other over the series.

At approximately Mile 25, Dr. Meza appears again, with his shirt turned outside-in from prior photos and wearing a hat.  He can be seen running next to one of his colleagues in the photo series.
