Great shots! Those guys had a chance to give “throwing the bike” a whole new meaning. With a good throw, maybe the Navy guy would have won. :-)

I was probably about 20 feet from you on the same side. I was really surprised from the amateur abilities of these riders. First of all, none of these guys could really sprint, secondly, that they would crash and lastly that the guy behind didn’t avoid the crash… Of course another racer later crashed by himself too. I premature release from the pedal would be a good excuse to crash, however I felt really sorry for them crashing as everyone around me was dumbfounded.
Someone should have really have them practice this a bit more before trying this the first time around.
Thank you for capturing these photos.

I was pretty close to your vantage point and was amazed as the series of events unfolded. Excellent job capturing them. It was quite amazing to watch.
