My wife and I had the privilege of standing in the rain for hours yesterday watching the muskoka 70.3. It was a great event, and if it hadn’t been for the weather it would have been a lot more fun to watch. Anyway, I took tons of pictures, most of which can be found here:

Only small, poor quality ones are posted online for now (the compression used makes them look more blurry then they actually are)… the originals are 12 megapixel jpegs at about 5.5 megs each. PM me if you’d like to get a full size version of any of them.
Here are a couple of decent ones:
