Bay to Breakers: some weirdness by the bay
If you asked any of the 100.000-plus runners In Sunday s
Bay to Breakers race In San Tranclsco who won the event they
participated In. only about half would be able to tell you that Ed
Eyestone crossed the tape first In 34:32.3.
Why. do you ask?
Because nobody cared. .
This seven-mile course, which weaves around the
downtown skyscrapers and up to Golden Qate Park, attracts few
serious runners..
I happened to be In the Bay area this weekend, and I was sio
amazed by this sporting spectacle, I Immediately filed this
report when I got back.
You had to be there.
Upon reaching the Polo Nelds to pick up my friends at the
finish line, the site before my eyes was reminiscent of the
Woodstock concert Multitudes of people (an estimated crowd
of 200,000 spectators alone) were scurrying about like a colony
of ants.
Some were already beginning to Indulge In alcohol, even
though It was still 10 a.m. Others were laughing it up or trying
to stay warm on a foggy and brutally cold San francisco
morning.
The runners (maybe walkers Is a more appropriate word)
that were still streaming across the finish line were a sight to
behold and the best free entertainment around.
Qet a load of some of these personalities to be found at the
race:
• a man. naked with the exception of a cardboard box wrap
ped around his middle, labeled SPAM.
•scores of people who appeared as though they had forget
ten to change their clothes after prom night.
• a giant banana.
• 12 people (that I counted) who donned gorilla suits.
•a ballerina.
• a fruit basket representing Trult of the Loom underwear.
A road race quickly becomes quite an amazing spectacle
when the majority of entrants Include college students
(rumored to be 12 percent of the field by the race brochure) and
misplaced Yuppies looking for an excuse to party.
The San Eranslsco Examiner, the dally newspaper that has
sponsored the race for every one of Its 75 years, is to be ap
plauded for Its efforts. The run had only 1,000 entrants in 1974
and 75,000 last year.
From the Sidelines
by Joe Arndt A Dennis Fernandes
If we could only come up with enough of those crazies for
next month's Butte to Butte race in Eugene. . .
□ □ □
Friendships are common In sports, but when losing
becomes habit, those ties are often tested. On the other hand,
there are teams that just won t let a loss — or a number of
losses — bother them. The Intramural softball team I was on
was one such example.
I ve always placed a lot of emphasis on winning and have
been known to be a bit too competitive. But this team taught
me that losses can still be fun — even when you can almost
predict when It's going to be one of those long days.
Monday was a long day.
Led by player-coach Mark Brenner, our team. Hard Bats Sc
Softballs, just completed a season of ups and downs. And like
each intramural playoff team that doesn't win the champion
ship, the season ends with a defeat.
We ll Just go out and see what we can do, Brenner said, at
tempting to catch a pre-game toss with a glove that always
seemed too small.
Ugh. I hated It when he said that. It meant he dldn t think
we had a chance.
Brenner I said disgruntled Would you shut up. We can
win. Just play hard and quit being so damn negative.
OK, OK. We II go out and win It. Brenner replied attemp
ting to amend. I think he knew It irritated me when he said
things like that.
See. I thought we could win- I like to win. Brenner, on the
other hand. Is out for fun- I'm out for fun too but fun comes a
lot easier when we win. •
We lost to SAE II. Don't ask me the score (they blew us out.)
The SAE s pounded the ball like we d done all season, while we
failed to get enough hits and mlsplayed too many balls. At
times. It was hilarious- sometimes. It was frustrating.
When it was over, we joked that we really didn t lose, we just
ran out of time. We reenacted plays where we errorcd trying to
come up with explanations. And we kept asking Brenner when
he was going to buy the beer.
As the team was leaving. Qreg was being asked when he
was leaving for his free agent tryout in San Diego. Brian was
talking about a paper he d just finished writing. Howard said
something about another Phillies baseball jersey he d bought.
John asked me about some girl in our American Studies class.
As I sat on the grass changing my shoes, noticing how the
clouds had rolled In ending a week-long stretch of sunshine. I
Just kind of soaked up the friendships. Mo matter how bad we d
lost this season, as soon as the games had ended, anything
derogatory said on the field was erased.
I'd never had so much fun on a losing team.
Some tips for people who want to enter the world of backpacking
By Mike Ostrom
(X tbr Knwrald
I)o you need to get away from it all? Are you
seeking adventure? If so. backpacking may be the
sport for you.
Some of the reasons people don't go backpacking
are because they feel it's too expensive, difficult or
discomfortable, says Bill Hazen. a program assistant
for the University Outdoor Program in the EMU.
However, most people who try backpacking seem to
enjoy it. he says
The popularity of backpacking has risen rapidly
in the past half-century. From 1940 to 1975, there
was a $400-million increase in the sales of backpacks
alone.
Here are some tips to help you join the craze.
Skill
Backpacking requires very little skill. Knowing
how to walk is basically the only prerequisite, and for
the determined backpacker, that isn’t even a
necessity.
"To practice for long hikes, it’s best to start with
day hikes, work your way up to weekend trips, then
four-day trips and then bingo, you’re there.” Hazen
says "Also, it’s nice to have some knowledge of first
aid "
Ethics
"The wilderness ethic is to leave no trace of
where you've been," Hazen says. There are many
ways to ensure this, he says.
Hazen says some ways to preserve nature are to:
• leave the wood alone, and bring your own stove
fires.
•avoid taking shortcuts.
• use existing campsites
•dispose human waste 6-8 inches in the ground.
• use biodegradable soap
•wear flat soles around the camp to prevent leav
ing tracks that cause erosion.
•take out of camp whatever you take in with you.
(iear
Proper clothing is essential to protect yourself
from the elements, Hazen says. "Wool clothing is ex
cellent for staying warm, and a 60-percent
cotton/40-percent-nylon jacket makes a good shell
that breaks the wind." he says.
Caps are important for protecting your head at
higher elevations and for preventing body heat from
escaping on cold nights, he says.
Other important gear includes tents, sleeping
bags, a stove and food. Also, to protect yourself from
the rain, ponchos work well as do most any kind of
rain gear. For the thrifty backpacker, however, a sim
ple garbage I tag may suffice.
Boots
There are many different styles of boots, which
range from lightweight to heavy-duty. One thing to
look for when purchasing a boot is whether it has stit
ching where the sole and leather are connected. In
jection molding, which is glue, is not as sturdy as a
double stitch. Hazen says.
Hazen says he bought his boots for $70 on sale,
and he recommends taking advantage of sales He
says sales on boots often appear toward the beginning
of winter.
Proper fitting of a boot is also important, Hazen
says In order to avoid blisters, your heel should
come up only one-eighth of an inch when you have
your boots on, he says.
If you do get a blister, moleskin works well to
cool the hot spot on your foot, Hazen says.
While trying on your boots, you should walk
around and kick and twist your foot while someone
holds your boot stationary, he says. Because leather
will mold to your feet, it’s better for boots to fit snug
ly rather than loosely, he says.
Most stores offer a trial period to test the boots.
so if you are not sure if your boots fit properly, you
can return them for a refund.
The best way to break-in boots quickly is to pour
a few handfuls of hot water into the boots, put on dry
socks and walk around in the boots all day. he says.
The water softens the leather and allows the boot to
stretch to fit your foot, he says.
Packs
As with choosing boots, comfort and quality are
important in choosing a backpack. I he backpack s
stress points, where it is pulled at the most, should be
double-stitched. Hazen says.
The shoulder straps should be firm, yet comfor
table. he says, and better backpacks have hip belts,
reinforced tabs, reinforced string holes and frames
made from aircraft aluminum.
There am external and internal frame packs,
nylon packs that are coated with a temporary water
repellent, large packs and smaller day packs. Hut
whatever you decide to buy, make sure it is comfor
table. he says.
The hip belt of your backpack should be fastened
around the top of your hips, he says. If it goes down
lower, the belt will not fasten tight and will rub
against your stomach, he says.
"A good pack will ride above your shoulders,
and most of the weight will be on your hips,” Hazen
says. “Your hips are closer to your center of gravity
and can hold more weight than your shoulders.”
Hig backpacks cost about $140. and backpack
covers cost $15-$20. A garbage bag may be
substituted for the cover. But if you plan on using
garbage bags, bring extras because they tear easily.
Sleeping Bags
The distance between you and the air. or the loft
of the bag, is a major factor in a sleeping bag. Hazen
says. Summer bags have a 4-inch loft and are good
only for temperatures above about 40 degrees, he
says. While winter bags have a 10-inch loft and are
r. I HI H I
good from 0 to -30 degrees.
If you want to camp in cold areas, but don't want
to buy an extremely thick bag, there are other things
you can do to conserve body heat, he says.
One option is to wrap a tarp around your body,
which creates a vapor barrier to keep you warmer.
But because your sweat is not allowed to escape, you
can get a little clammy, he says.
Another option is to place a few blankets or a
cushion on the ground. This decreases the amount of
heat loss into the ground as well as makes for more
comfortable sleeping. Hazen says.
Shelters
Shelters can range from a tarp strung between
trees to an expensive heavy-duty tent
Good tents have rain flys. which decrease the
chance of rain seeping into the tent, Hazen says. Hut
tents are coated to keep water out only on the bottom,
he says.
"If tents are coated on the top. the tent is not able
to breath, and no perspiration can get out." Hazen
says.
‘‘Moisture is trapped inside and if you bump the
tent in the morning you'll find that the perspiration
that condensed on the top of the tent, falls down and
gets your bag all wet.” he says.
Two-person tents weigh from to 4 pounds, and
four-person tents weigh around •> pounds, be says.
Some tents are designed for special conditions such
as heavy wind, he says. "Tents are very expensive.
Hazen says, “so you should look around quite a bit
before you buy one."
A first-aid kit, food and a stove also should lx; in
cluded on a backpacking trip. Hazen says.
The Outdoor Program has a list of equipment
recommendations as well as lists for upcoming
events and excursions, which should help you get
started.
