Big Sur Half Marathon from home

Technically this wasn't at sunrise. It was taken a couple of minutes after 8:00am as the lead runner (orange top in lower right through the trees) ran by as part of the Big Sur Half Marathon. The majority of runners are still heading out towards Asilomar (seen on the road). We can always tell when the lead man and lead woman run by, because of all the cheering. The usual cow bell isn't around this year. We may not head down to cheer on our friends since Andy has just started making a big breakfast. With our running/hiking in the rain yesterday, we're a bit hungry.
Update: Newlyweds Ben Bruce and Stephanie Rothstein-Bruce won first place for men's and women's. I wasn't sure I had captured the lead runner above, because it's unusual to have a non-Kenyan or non-Ugandan win the Big Sur Half. Speaking of races, after breakfast Andy and I followed the last of the runners into Monterey. There I spotted a blue-colored darner in front of the Portola Hotel. I've added a week's lead to Graeme of Imperfect and tense in our dragon hunt.
