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"

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. |
