07.24.10: Jackie Long Memorial 5k

One of my favorite races of the season. A nice, summer, local 5k, not real small but not huge (trying to sort through photos of 1000+ runners can be a real pain). For a man with 218 bones (the standard 206 plus 12 additional fragments) John Smyth did an amazing job, though he understandably leaned more on his volunteers than he otherwise would have. There were only two real downsides. One was the weather. Humidity and heat were both out the roof (probably at least 80° F at race time). The other was me - I accidentally changed my camera's settings when I changed cards, rendering a number of my photos, including shots of the top 13 finishers (11 men and 2 women), completely unusable. I was able to salvage 1 photo of 1 of the top 14 runners.

Chris Berry won the men's race, with Spencer Frantom & Jordan Noe 2-3. On the women's side, Andee "Punky" Swann led the way, Tara Gietema was nipping at Andee's heels in 2nd, and Marsha Morton was 3rd.
