Kentucky Derby Marathon

[jlykins]

I shot the Kentucky Derby Marathon last Saturday for an event company out of Texas. Anyway Most of the images were just people running, but I found a few that I thought were a little different. Thought I'd share with everyone.

It had been so long since I had seen anyone carrying a boombox, that I had to get a shot or two of this guy. I don't even think he realized that there was a marathon going on at the time.

AAAAAARRRGGHHHhhhhh.....oww. Don't they make "protection" for this? Oddly, his left one looks like a teeny little bleeding heart.
Maybe you could market this one as a motivational poster...

hahaha this reminds me of what Tonya Harding did to her rival Maybe one of his rivals did it to him so his performance would get compromised or something but I do admire his determination despite the pain and injury :O

They make "Nip Guards." I have had a little chaffing before, but not like this, and just a little bit hurts like hell. This must have been a first time running a marathon because runners just know it is going to happen.
