Atomic Man 2008 with pictures

Clay and Tarik have already written race reports, so this is really just meant to add pictures that Clay was missing when he wrote his. Clay's is below (or click on Race Report label at left and scroll) and to check out Tarik's report go here - if you've ever read Tarik's race reports (loads on SW nordic blog) you know its worth reading!!
Main action shots from the race are courtesy of Cyndi and Mike Warren of Pet Pangaea - you can access them from the race site. The ones below are a few of the ones I had time to snap as I was frantically running around. To see all of the pictures I took go here.
Luckily Timbad was able to make it (his dad is sick), so we had some serious speaker-power and a great announcer! :)
Here is the FatMan start:

We also had the honor of having Don Perkins of the Dallas Cowboys spectating and hanging out. Check out the highlights of his spectacular career here and more here. He was there to watch his grandson Wyatt while Judy and Dave did a relay. Here is a shot with Dave, Timbad, Don and Wyatt - Dave is waiting for the bike leg while Judy is out doing Run1.



Here is a shot of Clay (1st FM) and Martin (5th FM) after the race:

and here is Judy kicking in for the finish (man, that uphill there must just SUCK!):

Here is Derek getting his award for Little Boy - he was one of our younger competitors but a race veteran having done it before:
Here is Denny finishing Fat Man while Alexis cheers him on:
Well, I can keep this up forever, but I'll stop now - so to see all my other pix go here.

Jarrod, Jeff and the race committee did a great job on the race! volunteers were amazing - we are becoming famous just for our fantastic volunteers. Thanks to everyone!!
