ReplyDeleteDid you get any photos of the female competitors?
Huh. My comment disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos here! Did you get any photos of the female competitors? I thought it was great to see so many women out there.
Was this a men-only event?

ReplyDeleteWas the MC Weekly only covering the men's portion of the race? It was my understanding that nearly 50% of the participants were women. Beautiful coverage and photographs, just disappointing they don't represent nearly half the demographic of the race participants.
