Hey Ted,
  Thanks for taking the time to give such great advice on shooting road 
races. 
Yeah, you're right. there aren't a lot of good photo ops unless you get a 
shot of  
someone falling on his/her face. ;-) I guess there isn't a lot of interest 
when 
people remain vertical! Running (and walking) is a kind of controlled 
falling, so 
there is always some chance you're be rewarded with a good shot. 

  Ok, so I did an extreme crop job on the jumping runner. I can't quite get 
rid of 
blue jacket in the low left part of the frame. I also uploaded a couple of 
other 
shots, one of shoes and one of the massed start.
