Bay To Breakers 2014 Finisher

 

Why get your toes wet when you can just jump in the pool feet first?    I pondered this thought frequently during Bay to Breakers, my first footrace in 2 years.  Bay to Breakers is  the oldest consecutively run annual footrace in the world held in San Francisco.  Yep, I chose a challenging 12K (7.5 mile) “race” with killer hills in San Francisco as my first “running” race in 2 year.  In full disclosure, I walked-ran the race.  I’m working my way back up to running a 5K continually and I’m on week two of the Couch to 5K program.

Regardless of my fitness level, I gave it my all and had a great time doing it.  Bay to Breakers is a race like no other with costumes, nakedness, and bit of  debauchery.  Fun? Yes.  Difficult?  Yes.  Would I do it again? Oh, Hell YES.  I may have recorded a personal worst time wise but, I recorded a personal MOST FUN EVER experience wise.

Parties  lined the streets of San Francisco keeping my energy high.

Marching bands as well as costumes or a lack there of (and all I  can think is ouch…chafing) kept the race course interesting.

And in-between all the partying there was Hayes Hill.. a torturous mound of land that got my caves screaming and heart pumping.

But I have to say the best part of the race was the finish line.  Seeing the breakers is seeing a whole new side of San Francisco.  And finishing my first race in two years was a real accomplishment.  I was tired but invigorated.  I finished, and it felt awesome!
