canal run 2011

More inspirational, guilt-inducing racers in this year's race. Technically the guilt isn't your fault, its ours... Special thanks to the race organizers for inviting us to shoot this one. Though it was the 36th annual race, it was only the second time for us shooting it. It is a tad early for us to be awake, let alone standing on the side of the highway waiting for you to run past us, so more special thanks to veteran assistant Whitney Warstler for bringing the pot of coffee, and equal thanks to Todd Brassard for bringing us beer via bike as the sun warmed us up nicely on the pavement. There were a staggering 551 racers, and we did our best to shoot you all. Gallery here!Again - congrats to everyone. Thanks for the smiles, the shout-outs, the thumbs-up, and the occasional tongue out at us.AND - it is very sad, but we had a Petzl headlamp on the side of the highway, flashing towards oncoming traffic right near our hangout. We suspect a racer grabbed it for the lost & found. If you have seen it - we miss it... thanks!*** GALLERY ***
