Marathon Day

Went down to watch the marathoners run past this morning. Many people from our block came out to cheer the runners on as well. The number of people here weren't that many but at some other locations, they could be a few people deep.


Waiting for the runners to appear 

The men's marathon was really fast. The main group of runners literally sprinted past. There were of course a couple of runners who were not as fast as the others but they too got a lot of cheers and encouragement from the spectators lining the road. 42.15km is a really long distance - cannot imagine ever going that far all at one go and running continuously at that.

Luckily I got a multi-burst shot. Otherwise I would probably not be able to get another picture before they zoomed off :P
