The 2007 Idiotarod
When Calvin was telling people that he ran in Saturday's Idiotarod, the explanation that I would tell people is that it's like the Iditarod in Alaska, except with idiots replacing dogs. That and they're using shopping carts instead of sleds and dressed in ridiculous outfits. Conveniently for me, the race started in Greenpoint. I decided not to follow it to Long Island City (it was too far to run) or risk getting pelted with any projectiles from the participants.
And if you're wondering, it was cold on Saturday.
There are a couple of more photos in my flickr set.

That last one is both horrifying and mesmerizing.
