Trail Gnome (tallahasseetrails)  > Sports > Special Olympics 1K/5K
The SATURDAY, 27 January 2007 track and road races beginning and ending at FSU's Mike Long Track.

Looking for the "Special Olympics Area 3 Games" gallery? It's here.

For easy gallery navigation, you might try switching the gallery "style" to "all thumbs." See pull-down menu, top right.

~170 photos from the miscellaneous cameras I was juggling pathetically. Lead bike duty (and a bad lens choice) kept me from shooting more photos out on the course - sorry! Most of the shots I attempted out on the course were taken without proper "framing," and too long a lens. For the most part, I just pointed the camera roughly in the area that I wanted and snapped the shutter while pedaling the bike. Not that I need excuses - I've managed to screw up the most carefully planned shot. Best that I trust the camera's judgement, not mine.
I've rearranged most of the photos in chronological order. (I was switching back and forth among the cameras.) No doubt I'll get some wrong. Feel free to critique!
I'm mostly done with ID/captioning. I took an "educated guess" on several when it appeared there was a glitch in the results/registration. Please send me any POSITIVE ID or corrections. I'd like to give everyone proper treatment. Thanks!
Short video compilation posted here.
FSU story with more photos, here.
Gary Droze article in the Tallahassee Democrat.
Much of this gallery is posted in the Tallahassee Democrat online, but with no captions/ID or the ability to view 'em all at once. What do you think of this viewing experience?
Photos from Terry Massa, here.
Yet another photographer's gallery is posted here.


Some of the Special Athletes also participated at the 2006 Owl Run.

Perhaps some of that video or a story will be filed here:
