Ted,
  Ok, how do you photograph runners in a race? Do you watch for their knees 
to come up and hit that moment? ;-) Do you wait for them to collapse? What 
do you photograph when you're watching 5000 runners stream by? 

  Does my jumping runner shot here:

  work in any way?

  There was this professional photo unit called Brightroom, standing on the 
sidelines of the race firing their Nikons as fast as their buffers would 
allow. I guess the idea is that you might be able to sell some of those 
frames to the runners. That was real machine gun photography in action... 

  Regards,

  Larry K.
