With below freezing temperatures, there was some 30 trail runners for their race. Runners had a start time of 8am and ran 5+ miles over the Swanson Park trails.. I did not arrive until 9 (Was at ham radio breakfast before). Was there in time to shoot photos of the trail running podium.
Large field of bicycle racers. I heard there were about 40 racing the 4 hour marathon. Once the Juniors, Marathon, and Category 3 races were off, i headed into the woods for shots on the trail. Found a vantage point not too far from the shelter.
Temperature were still under freezing. Missed some of the riders when my fingers would stop working trying to actuate the shutter button.
Visited for a while between races. Shot the start of the Category 1 and Category 2 races. Ended up with the photos of the early bicycle race podiums. By then, I had enough for the day. Stopped by the bike shop and grocery store on the way home.
Thanks for the race promoters, the volunteers, and officials. Great job by the THOR (TrailsHaveOurRespect.org) trail maintenance crew. Special thanks to Edge Physical Therapy for grilling and providing burgers and hot dogs.
