KIERAN McSHANE CALDERWOOD

• Yes, we know that there was a race somewhere in the park sometime this morning.  Sorry, but the major attraction is Kieran McShane Calderwood, whose photos were most eagerly awaited by everyone.

PRE-RACE ACTIVITIES

• Photo 01:  Armando Oliveira: "Hi, I'm normally a 400m/800m track runner and this is my team debut in a road race."

• Photo 02:  John Affleck: "Let me give you a tip.  It is already eighty-something degrees, so you should stay in the shade before the race starts."

• Photo 03:  Alan Ruben: "Maximise your warm-up effort with a backpack!"

• Photo 04:  Craig Chilton: "I cannot believe this Alan Ruben person!  He is holding a backpack in his hands, and I still cannot catch him."

• Photo 05:  Alayne Adams: "This orange singlet is strictly to show that I am here.  As soon as the race is ready to start, I'll take it off."

• Photo 06:  Michael Siegell: "It is so nice out here.  Do we have to run a race?"

• Photo 07:  Kira Morser: "This is my first ever team race in my brand new singlet.  Look out for #3979 in the race!"

• Photo 08:  This is a true test of how well you know this website --- where else have you seen these Most Valuable Legs?

• Photo 14:  David Smith.  There were no "Go, Irene!" cheers during this race because Irene Jackson-Schon (yes, she is easy to identify from the back) is running in the opposite direction to cheer.

POST-RACE ACTIVITIES

• Photo 41:  Sue Pearsall: "Remind me never to run in this kind of heat again.  I can't take it!"

• Photo 42:  The Canadian Caucus of Lauren Eckhart, David Smith and Craig Chilton: "Yes, it is so much cooler and more humane in Toronto."

• Photo 43:  Kevan Huston: "I'm Canadian too, so why was I not invited to join the caucus?"

• Photo 44:  Graeme Reid: "Don't look at me.  I'm Scottish and not Canadian."

• Photo 45:  Alan Ruben: "Does anyone want to go for a warm-down run?"  Note:  If you are a true fan, you will recognize this as an instant replay (see 1998 Top 10 Photos).  Amazing that he also had a backpack that time.

• Photo 46:  Jesus Montero: "No thanks about the warm-down run, but I'll do as many stretches as you like."

• Photo 47:  Erik Goetze, Devon Sargent, Bola Awofeso, Eve Bois: "We are definitely going for a run."

• Photo 50:  Stacy Creamer to Ali Rosenthal, Alayne Adams and Margaret Angell: "I asked my doctor what kind of sunscreen I should get for the baby and got the thundering answer: 'NONE!  Keep the baby out of the sun!'  This is why I am in the shade with the carriage hood down and the mini-umbrella out"

• Photo 51:  Jerome O'Shaughnessy: "Two years ago, I was in a New York City Marathon television commercial.  Today, I finally met the woman who was in the same commercial for the first time.  I suppose that I could place that commercial on the website (though I only have 17 copies left), but I'm afraid that there would be some major skewering ..."

• Photo 52:  Ali Rosenthal.  Two team races so far and both times scoring on the first-place team.

• Photo 53:  Kira Morser gets the Most Winsome Smile Of The Day.

• Photo 54:  Patrick Cowden: "I'll smile too."

• Photo 55:  Ali Rosenthal, Jerome O'Shaughnessy, Margaret Angell.  Seconds after Jerome declared "The title of this photo is 'The Rose And Two Thorns'" he would feel the thorns in both sides.

• Photo 56:  A photo of the fanny pack of someone, but not the person that you must be thinking of.

• Photo 57:  Blair Boyer: "I want you to document how much trouble I've gone through to make sure that I have matching blue-orange beads."

• Photo 58:  "HELP!  Will somebody get me out!?  I'm trapped down here."
