I was lucky enough to be a spectator at this very fun event! It was great to see some friendly faces again (although some were friendly at the beginning of the race than they were at the end!!). Some of the pics are the same as Adam's but I'm too lazy to go through and compare them all, so you may see some twice!

Sheldon - strong and steady as always

James - with a smile as he smoked that course!!

Terrific photos Kristi. Makes me wish I had got myself one of those hoodies, but I'm saving for new running shoes and the timing just wasn't right :cry: Maybe next time.

great pics!!!!

err, if you look quickly, and expect Ryne to be running on the road, he looks like he is flying!! (why is the cone on the grass in his pics - so it looks like he's cutting the course, yet, on the road in the other pics?)

I believe that was the spot where they sent us onto the grass and off into the woods.

I thought that Ryne was flying the first timet that I looked quickly at that picture too!

This is the spot where the sharp left turn was not too distinct so after a little while some of us spectators moved the pylon so it was easier for the runners to see where they were supposed to go. There was a whole group of us yelling "LEFT!! Stay to the LEFT!!" because people kept wanting to go the wrong way!
