Here is the main collection of the 2006 Paddle Run Biathlon, courtesy of Neil Hermansdorfer neilherman@comcast.net. Check out more of Neil’s photography on the Great Falls Race page and at http://www.pbase.com/neilh . My eyes can’t stare at the computer screen any longer so I’m only posting 30 photos -- that’s less than one-third of what Neil sent me. If you want more, contact me or Neil with a specific request. Once again, thanks to all those participants who came out, infecting the biathlon with enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and good humor.
