So in addition to the 100-400 I rented, I also rented the Canon 10-22. I gotta say this is most definitely gonna be my next lens purchase. I had a great time taking pictures from different angles and such.


12mm @ f/3.5





So then the actual race was set to start and the sky's opened up:





I found it incredibly difficult to get shots that would even classify as decent in the rain and cold.





Once the rain went away the temperature plummeted. (well at least for us wimpy Floridian's). It was high 40's low 50's and the wind was blasting. The IS in the 100-400 seemed to work pretty good, but it wasn't enough to overcome my shivering and I lost a lot of shots to camera shake. This is one of the few that came out good on the second day.
