This morning (January 24, 2010) at 6 AM the elite runners hit the streets of Carlsbad for the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon. After a week of storms Sunday lived up to its name and set up what has to be one of the most perfect Carlsbad Marathons in years. Temperatures were cool, skies were blue, and the the course was a party on legs.

The 10,000 runners also got to see some of the biggest, cleanest surf we’ve seen in weeks. The look on one surfers face was classic as he surveyed the waves and then looked down at the mass of humanity that stood between him and the surf. It was like a human wall. Don’t know if he ever made it across.
