- I'm definitely setting a new record for how many mini cliff bars I can fit in this fanny pack.
- Thank you to whoever invented fanny packs.
- I have no clue how I got into this corral but I guess this is where I’ll stay.
- I'm definitely more nervous for the seeded/sub-seeded runners than they are for themselves.
- To the people with the full body costumes, I admire you.
- I mean seriously is pink gorilla guy going to keep that on the whole time??
- Why do so many people have bags of tortillas?
- Ah, I see.
- I’m sorry to anyone I hit in the face with a tortilla.
- The volunteers created a human chain to corral all of these people. They actually did that.
- The infamous nervous-pee is coming on.
- These speakers are quite powerful; sorry again, eardrums.
- I’m going to check my watch as I pass the start line so I look like an ~serious~ runner.
- I’ve never been so energized during a run.
- Full credit for this energy goes to the hype man on the loudspeaker at the start.
- Where are the mile markers? I need to establish when it's socially acceptable to take a stretch break
- Hayes Hill, you almost got me. Almost.
- The Church of Latter Day Sinners. Good one.
- Thank you to the stranger who, unbeknownst to them, is pacing me.
- This is basically just a moving frat party with better costumes and healthier decisions being made.
- How is it already Mile 4?
- That sobriety tent could be a useful implementation at college parties. Just saying.
- This run wouldn’t be nearly as fun if not for the enthusiastic spectators.
- Another happy (belated) birthday to the man wearing the “I turned 60 today” shirt!
- Everyone here is so comfortable being them own selves.
- You get used to the naked people after a bit.
- Also, shoutout to the naked people- I wish I was that carefree and confident in my own skin.
- Alright, it’s starting to get cold.
- This fog means we’re almost done right??
- Here’s to the runners high that kicked in around Mile 5.
- ...and here’s to pressing the gas a little too early on that runner's high.
- Regardless, this gradual downhill is very much so appreciated.
- These elite runners are running their cool down faster than I’m running the race.
- Your negativity didn’t affect anyone, Repent or Perish guy.
- I’m sorry to the police officers around him who had to listen to that for the whole race.
- The beach!! The finish!! The runners high is back!
- Can these strangers motivate me to finish strong do the same every night when I try to procrastinate on my homework?
- Oh god, I definitely did not make a cute face for that finish line picture.
- I’m on such an adrenaline high right now.
- My medal that, yes, I will wear around for the rest of the day, thank you very much.
- Make room for these Pete’s coffee cold brews, mini cliff bars.
- I definitely drank too much coffee.
- I really love this city and all the people in it.
- I don’t even know what these vitamin packets are but I’ll have 8.
- The contrast of all these sunny people and colorful costumes to the foggy day is so stark.
- Here’s to already wishing Bay to Breakers 2018 would come sooner.
