Coaches Vera and Lee at the start of the Big Sur 21 mile Power walk	Racing machines Darrell and Jeff at the start: GO!
Anxious walkers just before the start.	No lack of supporters on the Big Sur race.
Point Sur lighthouse is often fog-covered at the early morning start.	Final descent before the BIG CLIMB up Hurricane Point (aka Hurripain Point!)
Taiko drummers at the base of Hurricane Point: Inspirational is an understatement. Sorry about the blur...guess I should STOP to take these pics!	More drummers help us beat it up the Hurricane Point.
This is not the race for people afraid of heights!	Maybe the only race where you MUST look back!
This is why you look back! This year particpants saw whales playing out in the Pacific!	It simply does not get any better than this.
Imagine the music and this view.	More blurry supporters!
I need to know their stylists!	Close second to the Taiko drummers and the grand piano.
Laurel, Vera, and Kim make it down Hurricane Point	Vera and Laurel: buddies to the finish!
Medals and beer! I was all eyes for the massage tent but Jeff, Darrell, and Karl (with Sue) had other priorities! The beer tent!	One very happy finisher!
We did it!	It may look like Linda can't get up but we have it on good authority she made it home!
Sign us up for 2006!	Nice shirts too!
Back for rest at the Inn: you won't get us to take off those medals!	Cooling off our feet in the pacific works!
