Can You Swim a Marathon?

Dark storm clouds loom ahead in Pasadena.

On March 20th, the city of Pasadena held its first annual Marathon and I was there to shoot the Founders Club VIP tent reception. The "Founders" are the group of people who initially provided financial backing to get the race going, so yay to them!


Family and friends came out to cheer their loved ones on... but the runners didn't just get medals... they got completely soaked. So much for the "it never rains in California" myth. It was completely pouring for several hours that morning, so while I was under the tent snapping pics, people were running 26.1 miles in the RAIN!

Oh look, the race is over and the sky is blue.
