The Centennial Bay To Breakers

Would you believe that I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area pretty much all my life and have never participated in the Bay To Breakers?  Not even as a spectator!  There was no excuse for me this year: I am a runner, I live two blocks from the finish line, and it's the 100 year anniversary of this historic event.  Oh, there's also this little thing called a bunch of Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics escaping the Insane Asylum for one day to partake in this parade!  This 12k is a huge deal for San Francisco, and I was very happy to have the opportunity to be there for 100 year celebration with all my friends.  They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so for the rest of this race report, I will give you a photographic recap of this incredible day.

It's a B2B tradition: tortilla throwing!

It's like a scene straight out of High School Musical.

Smurfy!

As you can see, all we did was take pictures!

We climbed hills!

We ran down hills!

Deo needed more boobies!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Sclemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated. We're gonna do it!

Woo Hoo!

Hey, I didn't get a royal British flag!

Bling Bling!
