The country side of Chaptico. A part of the race actually goes through the corn fields.
Christ Church in Chaptico. Francis Scott Key is buried there.
The hot sun rises.
On you mark, get set, ...
...Go!
Mike is off to a quick lead.
You can just fell the humidity.
There they go.
They're still going.
Meanwhile, a tree grows in Chaptico.
Yet another view of the Church.
Jes gets ready to head out on the 3 mile Fun Walk.
There she goes!
There she is!
No, Mike, this is not the finish line -- only the half-way point.
Where are the fans when you need them?
Nice stride.
Who was that masked man?
Old man Leonard.
Even older man Leonard.
This is fun?
Some more of the pretty scenery in Chaptico.
The cheering gallery!
Mom on the look-out.
The prodigal daughter returns.
And returns again.
And preens.
And preens some more.
Where the heck are they? Are they lost?
Meanwhile, corn grows in Chaptico too.
Here he comes.
There he is.
There he goes.
Big Mike with a big finish.
Looking good.
First in his age bracket.
Looks good from this angle too.
Ah, rest.
Mike receiving the recognition he deserves.
What can I say?
A very interested bystander.
What a group!
A big thums up to all.
John was there in more ways than one!
What a day!
