I ambushed Herb Friday evening with the request to snap these shots since I was on lead bike duty again this year. He got some great shots using a camera he'd not had the opportunity to practice on. Thanks, Herb! Results, courtesy Godby HS Coach Chris Sumner: http://fl.milesplit.us/meets/28084 More Senior All-Star Meet photo choices.

Everhart Owl Run 2007 : Photos 8674-9415 from the super Gretchen Everhart School 0.5M Everhart Athlete Run and Leon County Public Middle School 2M Meet, 27 September. Thanks to MC Bill McGuire for organizational skills, oratory, race instructions, bike lead, and more oratory! 2006 photos are here: http://tallahasseetrails.smugmug.com/gallery/1943883 With many hundreds of shots, you may find it easier to navigate if you change the gallery "style" (top right) from "smugmug" to "all thumbs." Or "slideshow" or "filmstrip" or . . . you get the idea, it's configurable by you. I usually like "journal."

FSU XC Invite 2007 : Photos 7262-8672 from the wildly popular (among smaller university and Florida HS teams) FSU XC Invitational College/HS/Open, 22 Sep at Miccosukee Greenway Park. HS 5Km runners might note the course is measured properly (tangents) per NCAA specs. On this venue, tangents produce a course ~70m longer than NFHS's antiquated but specified center-of-course method. Race (and photo) order: College Men's 8Km College Women's 5Km HS Boys' 5Km HS Girls' 5Km Open Male 5Km Open Female 5Km I didn't preview these photos. I do hope a few are in focus. (I'm culling a few after the fact. That will still leave over 1300 photos.) I was real lazy and used a 50mm fixed lens (75mm equivalent digital crop), mostly f/2.0 to f/2.8. Not much margin for error. I may have to stop that lens down a bit next time if I can't be more careful. History would indicate I can't be more careful. Wanna see some much nicer FSU Invite photos? Check out Laura Newton's: http://tinyurl.com/3xwo3x I really need to get my big lens http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/70200vr.htm repaired so I can do snaps like that again. Till then, it's time for me to set aside the camera. Lead bike duty (guiding the runners, radioing splits back to the start/finish) and course design/setup is waaaay more fun anyway! Speaking of lead bike, do runners really prefer breathing fumes from this disgustingly annoying fat man's chariot: http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/GC/series/GC_gator_hp_series.html With over 1300 shots, you may find it easier to navigate if you change the gallery "style" (top right) from "smugmug" to "all thumbs."
