Cross Country 2011 Begins with 24th Annual Alumni and Friends Race

 And a good time was had by all.  Seventy-three runners participated in this Annual 4K Handicap run at Chinquapin Ridge XC course.  This is the home course of the boys and girls Noblesville XC teams.  The included photos display the beginning preparation before the big event.  

Even though my purpose at the XC meets is to coach, I still get a kick out of capturing the spirit of the meets and the environment.  My goal this year is to display more activities surrounding the meet itself but still capture enough photos to put together a nice slide show at the end of the season.  Photos taken with a Nikon d300, 70-200 vrii, 1/1000th sec, ISO 200, Shutter Priority.  The first photo was taken at 85 mm and the second at 200mm.
