Taken at the start of the Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon. I tried to capture the energy of the scene. I hope I did.

Surprised by the decent score...but no complaints here! This is the shot I saw in my head when I decided to shoot for this challenge...sometimes the idea matches the delivery.

The score has just kept going up all week. I am thrilled that this may approach a top 10, especially as this was more an experiment for me, getting me out of my comfort zone of having everything sharp in focus...
Post Challenge: Thrilled by the HM on this shot. Thanks for the great comments and score! And thanks to my crazy wife Carol, a 10 time marathon runner, who 'invites' us to come along. She is the reason I was there to get the shot, but more importantly, she picked the color version this image over the b&w for entry. You rock!

Excellent! I'm glad you got the shot you wanted to get. This was one of my favorites from the challenge. Easily made my top3 list.
Congratulations on the HM.
Sorry about first comment and the low first rate. I just misunderstood rules of the contest about having or not peoples in the frame...Anyway I will fix my mistake. Thanks for you understanding
