What fast looks like

Saturday highlights, and sadly, not a single picture:

1) Meeting up with Ken Tank and FOBFR, Steve Tolley, for a 75 mile tour of all the Williamsburg local goods.
2) Watching Ken Tank push through 85 degree temps and lose 10 pounds over the course of the 7 hour ride.
3) Getting home, Ken Tank being violently ill, but hearkening back to his fraternity days and pulling the puke-and-rally card in order to make a haggard, 3-glass of water and 2 ginger-ale appearance at dinner before passing out. A rock star performance.

Sunday Highlights, what fast looks like:


1) BFR's own, Eric Moore (or at least his shoe, or maybe that of the guy next to him), zipping out of the camera frame on his way to a 1:26 finish at the Shamrock Half. You'll notice the light polls heading up the boardwalk are all skewed about 15 degrees by the great gravitational vortex being created by that kind of speed.


2) I picked a much hotter runner than Eric to accurately capture. Turns out you have to lead the runner a little with the mighty iphone camera, kind of like shooting skeet. Nice run, Shan.

Your picture of me is much more flattering than most of me racing!
