I don't know if I mentioned that several weeks ago we had our annual
ice race here in Toronto. I must say, I was quite uninspired
photographically. I only shot two rolls, about a third my usual
output. Maybe I was looking for something different from past years -
whatever the reason, I just didn't feel much like pressing the shutter
release, and the results showed. Out of two rolls, I got one half
decent shot, and here it is:

This is Brooks "The Ice Stud" Rapley, former bike messenger, now a
teacher, and Ontario's men's 200 metre matched sprint trackbike champ
(he's a monster). As you can see from the longjohns, boxer shorts and
cape, the ice race is fun, and the competition is friendly, although
once the races start, everyone gives their all.
Hope you like, and thanks for looking and commenting.
Good shot, Frank, and surprisingly sharp ;-).
Really, this is a good shot. You may be "quite uninspired
photographically" but you definitely know how to shoot.
