Big Day at the Gator Gallup
Lens: 70 mm Camera: K20D Photo Location: Brazosport College - Clute, TX ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/750s 
Posted By: Sailor, 04-17-2010, 08:42 AM

The Gator Gallup is a series of races at Brazosport College sponsored by one of the local runner's club, and my granddaughter, Claire, zipped through the Kids Run a couple of hours ago. As I post this, Claire's Mom (my daughter), accompanied by my wife, is on a plane to Boston to run in Monday's big marathon, and my son-in-law, a band director, is judging a contest out of town - so, I was the only family member to witness the great event. In addition to a medal for the race (all participants get one), Claire also received a trophy for past and continuing participation. At least I have photos to mark the occasion for Mom, Dad and Grandma.

Claire pushes off the starting line with determination:



At the finish line, where she finished 3rd out of a dozen or so kids:



A very pleased Claire receives her trophy:

Very nice series of shots, you managed to capture the action very well and it looks like a fun time. I also like the colors in the images, they are very vibrant and bright and compliment the photos well.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos,
Cory

Hey, Scott - thanks, buddy. You may be right, but I'm secretly trying to turn her into a hot rodder like me; she even pronounces "Porsche" correctly!
