Video of the start

I took this about quarter mile down the path. I got really lucky and it turned out better than expected. I love the audio.

It starts off with darkness. You can hear the rain and the ambient noise of the forest (and me sniffling)
Then you can hear Blake in the distance (I think that's him) shouting "Seven seconds!" and a cheer goes up.
The lights of the lead bikes appear as the gun goes off.

Then glimpses of the headlamps can be seen through the trees as the runners come around the bend.
The experienced 100 milers are relaxed and talking and laughing.
This is how "Just a run in the park" begins.
