The weather over the last couple weeks has been pretty rainy and damp. I won't complain too much since April was almost without any precipitation; the water tables sure can use the precip. My backyard is sprouting up with all the grass seed I tossed down weeks ago. Turns out grass seed won't sprout an inch without copious amounts of water. The last two weeks has provided that.
So Jesse mentioned he and Adrien were headed north to Rumney for the weekend and said I could tag along. My last trip to Rumney was pretty lack luster, both in my enthusiasm for the place and my climbing performance. I don't think I even lead anything. This time however I was determined to lead and fall. I haven't fallen on lead before, well once in the gym, and I think it is holding my climbing back. Adrien had a less than stellar catch a few weeks ago and was also spooked about taking the plunge. The plan was to fix this. ...

Today I went to a car show down in Carlise, PA. Sunday was the last day so many of the cars had already left but there were still some good ones. While most of them weren't my style of car, they are still done up very well and look pretty good.

2012-04-22 Leatherman's Loop 10k Race |

Runners splashing through the final water crossing a few hundred yards from the finish.
I went to a 10k race over the weekend. Not to run in it, I'm not much of a runner, but to spectate and take some pictures. I carpooled in with some friends under some cool, breezy, and overcast skies. There was rain in the forecast but it wasn't supposed to come until later in the day. These conditions made some some good soft light for pictures. The problem was that I've never shot anything like a foot race before. I've never even been to one. I got some shots at the start of the race and figured I'd have enough time to get to another section of the trail before the runners had gotten through. There were hundreds, maybe close to 1,000 runners so I should have plenty of time. Well not really. I got confused which way the course was relative to the parking lot, and I got just the tail end. Luckily I doubled back and got to the final water crossing to see some people go through.
I definitely need some practice shooting this type of event. It was more difficult than I expected. A full set of batteries would have helped. I had three poorly charged ones and the servo drive autofocus wasn't helping.
