Wind gusts and frigid temperatures may have kept the crowd size low, but it may also have helped Pamela Bolivar repeat as the International Pancake Race winner.
Bolivar led from start to finish, leaning in to the first turn at Fifth Street down Kansas Avenue and then gliding to her left down Lincoln Avenue with a stiff breeze at her back.
Tayana Miller turned the corner just behind Bolivar, but the defending champion continued to outpace the field, and with the stiff breeze cruised to victory.
