2007 San Francisco
"12km Bay to Breakers"
No P.B. with 2hr 21min of soaking up the ambience amidst a decidedly
good natured, fun loving 60,000 crowd.
"60,000 leap into Bay to Breakers - Giddy footrace has nudity, beer -- and
serious athletes"
|
Getting to the Start |
Pre Race antics |
|
Clowning around waiting for the 8am Start |
|
The Elvis Lives and The Hooters below were the largest
teams |
|
My mate, Gene, carrying-on pre-race, with Ron and Jim in the background |
|
The Hooters |
|
The Budweiser was flowing pre-race |
|
Two English nurses. One from London, with the other from "up
North" |
They sure were amenable to strangers |
|
The Race Start Gun was about to go off as the police motor cyclists lead
the leaders off |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Hung like a horse |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
The latter part of the run approaching The Breakers is thru a city park |
|
One mile to go for Phil, and Gene's buddy, Dick Sites, who provided us digs
at his apartment in San Francisco |
Don't remember too many parks on the run to Bondi. |
|
The finish line on a crystal clear late Autumn day, although the wind
off the ocean stirring the red flags had a bite to it. |
