Muhammed Ali
We had to wait a while at the starting line for the race to start. They started with the cycling and the wheelchair races. Then they started the elite women's race, and then the rest of us. Joan Benoit Samuelson (who won the first women's Olympic marathon in 1984) was there on the far left of the picture. Mayor Jim Hahn was there as well, left of the pole. Someone next to us yelled out "former mayor!" in reference to the upcoming mayoral elections. And Muhammed Ali was there, which was exciting.
