I was taking pictures with our Casio Digital camera, pardon the quality,
I don't get much practice,
and the Bay to Breakers is a hard place is a hard place to learn.
Self Portrait, from arm's length
Looking for the Starting Line
Still before Starting Line, I decided to cut through some buildings to the next block over.
Ken Star/Monica blow up doll The guy was wearing a Clinton mask
Still before the Starting Line
I can see the Start, nothing is moving, 25 minutes before 8:00
We are moving now (in baby steps, note the toe) here are some tortillas on the ground - they were being thrown around by the crowd
I'm past the Start Line , it took 17 minutes to get there, and it's still really crowded

My Time 2:34, but it took 17 minutes to get to the Starting Line!
Empty Crystal Geyser Boxes at the finish
I was trying to get a picture of these two police sitting on their
horses
except, one of them moved and ruined my picture - but then ........
He was just going to share a cool drink of Crystal Geyser with his four legged friend, Aw, ain't that sweet!
The unfinished wind mill
Polo Field - After the race .... PARTY!
Actually, we had to walk at least another mile to get here, but damnit, I want my tee
