2008 Bellevue/Offutt AFB Runway Run

I did a really cool shoot this morning; the Bellevue/Offutt Runway Run. This is a new race in the area that starts in Bellevue and then cruises onto Offutt Air Force Base. The run is part of the Air Force Week In The Heartland celebration. I’m guessing this will become a favorite event of many people in the future because the runway actually got shut down for the race and runners were treated to amazing sights. The course took them right down the runway and between a pair of F-16 fighter jets.

2008 Papillion Mayor's Triathlon

Picture 2

The shots from today’s triathlon are being uploaded and should be released for viewing sometime tomorrow afternoon, possibly not til the evening. 3,600 images take a wee bit of time to upload!
Everyone was probably glad it was overcast this morning so the temperature didn’t get out of control. My oldest daughter (8 yrs) came with me for the shoot of today’s event. She got kind of sick of it about halfway through, just standing around in the heat while dad takes a bunch of pictures! Her spirits lifted after she found a water spicket and soaked her head to cool down before befriending some playful dogs.

Papillion Days Duathlon

Here are some random shots from the Duathlon earlier today. After a quick thunderstorm things really cleared up nicely and the event seemed to go off without a hitch. Kudos to the Papillion Parks & Rec. Dept. for sticking it out and waiting for the bad weather to pass. It looked like everyone had tons of fun. I was mighty impressed with all the younger kids who participated. They are gonna put some big time hurt on the competition in a few years!
Photos from this event are listed on the MultiSport page.
