Although many would think this rainy, cold weather sucked, I was thinking close to ideal conditions (i like the rain).
It was tough capturing a picture of all the runners I wanted to, but here is what I got before the battery died
John Storkamp. He was so fast, I could not keep the camera on him!
John Akins - Always a happy camper. Pulled in a 2:56
Joe Ziegenfuss - Sub 3 hour only 4 weeks after running a sub 24hr Superior 100 mile race. Thought he was going to take this one easy.
Helen Lavin - Only 4 weeks after winning the Superior 100 mile, pulls out a sub 3:30. Nice job for someone who said earlier this year "I don't feel like a real runner".
Todd Rowe - Not sure if he was a happy camper when I snapped this. Come on Todd... Piece of cake after Ice Age 50 Mile, right?
The Julie Berg - Must have been a PR for her! Maybe even a BQ?
Mark Hanson - Nice job Mark
I missed a lot of photos just because it was tricky, and the battery pooped. But congratulations to:
Jim Wilson - did I hear you say PR?
Bryan Erickson
Cindi Matt - First timer, great job!
Pierre Ostor - Just a walk in the park for him
John Gannon - First time, rock on
Karen Gall
Elliot Esch - First time, and only ran one 12 miler for a long run. Jerk. (just kidding)
Joe Yoon - "I am not running it this year"....... 6 weeks ago he said this. Pulled out 2:53
I know I missed a bunch of people. Sorry about that.
Good luck to those running Glacial next weekend (Julie, Pierre, Jim Wilson)

Thanks for the pictures...
Thanks for being out there Matt!! It was a (unexpectantly) fun day. The mad rain and wind added a bit more excitement than we needed - it was like a trail run at times trying to figure out where to place your feet!
Helen
Of course I was happy, but you couldn't tell because I was also very focused. Thanks for the photos and being out there. I think anyone who came out to watch deserves kudos under those conditions. Ditto for the volunteers.
Todd
Great pics. It makes me wish I was there. TCM was my first marathon, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.
Glad your camera conked out before I came limping by! No need to capture my misery on film.
It was good to see you out there cheering. Thanks.
I was going to move from my post at 21 miles to go say hi, but 3 miles? That's way too far to go.
