Twenty-six point two
I am still trying to catch up on posting photos from last year to Flickr and this set is from the Boston Marathon. I went in to the city on a whim that day since I took it off. It was a beautiful spring day, so why not spend it outside and sunburn the half of your face that wasn’t pressed against a camera?
I didn’t get in in time to see/shoot the *elite* runners. I did however catch Lance Armstrong but he was by me by the time I figured that out, so no photos. I also saw Team Hoyt, but only got one of Dick because they were in a bit of a crowd.
There are about 30 photos in the set and I shot 225 total. I tried to pick ones where people were struggling or wearing something funny. I didn’t add many captions, but there are some if you want to find them on Flickr.
Slideshow is below after the break.
