Marathon Monday (from a truck)

04.20.09 - Per the Herald's request, I spent Marathon Monday (the greatest holiday ever invented in the world, hands down) on the women's truck shooting the leaders and eventual winners of the marathon. Watching a 26.2 mile race for the entirity is intense to say the least and a highly recommended way to take in any long distance race. 

I was cheering for the American Kara Goucher of Oregon who faded in the last quarter mile to be overtaken by Kenyan Salina Kosgei and Ethiopian Dire Tune.
