Bay To Breakers?

by beatthegmat » Sat May 19, 2007 10:05 pm

Anyone running the SF Bay to Breakers 12K race tomorrow?

I'll be there--you might be able to identify me, since I'll be sporting a "www.beatthegmat.com" bumper sticker.

Wow, there were a lot of naked old men at this race. Never seen so much craziness in one place!

I'll try to locate a pic--and I promise that I will be fully clothed.

I completely agree.

Of the ones dressed

, I guess the proportion of whacky costumed
ones was much higher than the sane ones. Much unlike previous
years.

There were a few funny ones like a banana and a gorilla (especially
when the gorilla was running after the banana !), super-heroes, hotdogs...

Not sure how these guys run 7.5 miles with such costumes on !

Haha, not too many people who were dressed up and partying made it to the end. It was pretty much just us runners who were taking the event "seriously" at the end...

I didn't appreciate getting smacked in the face with all the flying tortillas at the beginning though, haha.

Sounds like a fun race though! I am a "runner" also (I am a back of the packer hence my quotes) but I have never run bay to breakers.

Highly recommend it--it's a carnival.

I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes--I am actually wearing a beatthegmat.com bumper sticker on my shirt. I plan on wearing the same sticker for the San Francisco Half Marathon race in July too.

5 Star (475 Reviews)

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
