Now one of the Governor playing keep-away with one of the color guard's hats. You get the idea. The whole event starts as the Governor stands on a stage and says a few words to the would-be walkers. The pace is brisk. He's practically running as he is pushed along by the cascading wall of humanity.
People are all over, swerving, passing, occasionally cussing at each other as tempers flare.
There is a lot of attitude at the beginning of the walk. Later on, the more casual, relaxed and seemingly less dysfunctional people take their time moseying across the Might Mac. We cross the halfway point with the Governor at about 30 minutes into the walk. The fastest gubernatorial crossing on record is held by Governor Milliken, who strutted across at an amazing 37 minutes, according to former Bridge Authority Executive Secretary Larry Rubin. I can barely ride my bike that fast.
