  • Comments: Definitely a fun race, especially when done with some friends. Impossible to race it, unless you are with the elite folks up front, because the streets are pretty full the entire way. The farther you go the better it gets but it never clears out. Very pretty run and it was fun to run by the family on the Pan Handle of the park. Became a good chance to try out the new fuel belt which I was very happy with. Not only did it make it so I could avoid the super crowed water stations it made for a nice squirt gun when I needed it to. I was carrying mostly to get the feel for it and I hardly noticed it while I ran. I'll definitely have to do the race again although it seems to always be the weekend of the Memphis in May Tri which I want to go back to as well... decisions....

  • Comments: Whoo Hoo!!!! What a fun "race". What a bunch of whackos. Lots of costumes and beer and naked people. Kinda liked all the naked people, made things interesting. Definately more men than women were naked. Think I will have to do Bay to Breakers again even though i could n't even run some of the time due to the large crowd.1

  • Comments: This race is a must-do. There's really "two" Bay to Breakers races being run--the first is the actual footrace and the second race is the one with the pageantry, costumes, and freaks show. If you line up at the front like I did, you don't get to see much of the "second"-race; as you're running well ahead of it all. Anyway, I'll check out the "second"-race (costumes, naked runners, and freak show) on the post-race highlights which I've Tivo'd. I had to get back home to entertain guests this afternoon, so I hopped on the MUNI bus which took FOREVER (almost 50 min.) to get back downtown. By the way, you don't even need to pay the $7.00 special MUNI bus fare (which gets you a special little MUNI sticker to ride the entire MUNI system for the rest of the day; including, of course, the special buses to the starting line). I bought the MUNI sticker, but was able to walk right on the bus even with my sticker covered up by my windbreaker--and there was no one checking for it anyways. See
