Hood-to-Coast 2013
I enjoy the end of August for various reasons. The temperatures aren't so hot, the kids are almost back in school, and Hood-to-Coast comes to town (literally, this year, as the exchange point for legs 12 and 13 was in our neighborhood, at Oaks Park, because of construction closer into town). I once again photographed the runners on Legs 5 and 35. Friday was mild and overcast and a bit rainy, and Saturday was warm, warm, warm. My body is still aging, and it takes three or four days for the extreme soreness in my upper legs to dissipate.
Hood-to-Coast is all about the participants so, without further delay, I present to you my Hood-to-Coasties for 2013 (remember, these are all photos I took).
I've noticed trends in race over the last decade, and 2013 was the year of the tongue and the high-five. I saw lots of tongue aimed at my direction, and five or six runners gave me high-fives or fist bumps (kind of sweaty-gross, but whatever). Here are the best tongue shots.
Best Barefooter:
Best impression of an animal (bear):
Worst outfit to run in: (red was a team thing, and he had rolled the upper part of his outfit rolled all the way down while running); green was clearly an individual choice--none of his teammates were dressed anything like him).
Darwin Award (someone must have been handing out slices of pizza on my leg, as many, many runners were eating while running--I'm sure Pre was rolling in his grave when he found out):
I Just Wanna Fly:
