"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strongman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."- Theodore Roosevelt, Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

A little video content...

This past weekend I took advantage of the unseasonably warm  weather and shot some video for the upcoming trail races that will be at potato creek state park next April 30th.  This video shows the first half of the course on the mountain bike trail and how it loops back around to where you entered the trail system.  It took me a hour and half plus to run/walk/hike/shoot video  I condensed the vid portion to about 2 minutes.  I edited out blurbs of video where it appeared that I was having some sort of seizure; I was talking to myself,  and just general "I have no idea what I am looking at"  type stuff.  I hope to get out over the extended Thanksgiving day weekend to get some video of the hills section or the "back half" as I am calling it.  This will showcase some of the larger hills that the runners will have to negotiate while out on the course.  My hope is to get this stuff shot before the snow flies.  *crosses fingers*.  In the meantime enjoy this short video of the front half of the race course.
