2004 Boilermaker
Originally uploaded by LightBin

2004 was the first year I got the chance to stand on the finish line of the Boilermaker race in Utica, NY. A couple of years before that, I had watched some of the Boilermaker. One of the things that always amazes me is the wheel chair division. These people are true athletes. The finish line is at the end of a slight down grade, and by the time they get there, they are absolutely FLYING! But there are other parts of the course that are more work by far. The work that they put into their sport is truly inspirational!

I have been able to work the Boilermaker for a few years now, and hope to be there again in 2008. Check out my Flickr stream for more Boilermaker pics from 2004, 2006, 2007.
