Flatiron XC Championships - Photos

Flatiron XC Championships - Photos


This morning I went to my second ever cross country race (the first was earlier this month). XC events are pretty fun, as runners do laps on the course, spectators run back and forth cheering them on. I was there to support some local runners - and in the process took a couple of photos. I wish I had signed up, but I thought you needed to be on a team. No worries, however, as I'm sure I couldn't hang with these speedsters.
Women at the start...
 And they are off...
 Things had already opened up during the first lap...
 The women leaders coming in to the finish... it was really windy during the women's race (check out the tree)
Ran into some "serious" racers there...

 Get ready...
 Go!


 First guy across the line...
Second place coming in strong...
Nice kick at the end from this guy...
Pushing to the end, nice job GZ...
I have no idea how Sandrock was able to run in all of that gear, and none of it blew off!

  1. Peter - great to meet you (finally). Good luck on the Gin and Tonic tomorrow (I just noticed that Grays and Torres are G&T and so my near alcoholic had to make the reference). Thanks for the shots.

    1. Yeah, it was great to meet up - next time lets run! G & T were great today, except for all of the postholing!
