Whaling City Half Marathon

We have a half marathon every year and I always try to go. I like to cheer the people on because I'm no athlete. So today I found myself being the entire cheering section there were very people there and those who were just stood there and let me handle all the WOOHOOing. Here are some of my crappy pics (cheap camera):
This is the start.

This is a Peter Pan Bus that was trapped in the bus terminal. We don't have any local bus service on Sundays. So the only buses that go in there are the Peter Pan and Dattco buses that travel to Providence and Boston. So no one told them there was anything going on. And why should they? It's only a race that draws, and used to draw many more, world class athletes. Who'd want to know about that?

Obviously no one. Look at all the spectators waiting for the runners to return.

Here comes the winner:

And here's the women's winner:
(Notice the excellent composition. I had no idea she was coming since the announcers didn't seem to know either.)
