Running in the rain

I've never received a response from a photo like I did for this one. I posted it last week and it has 681 views with 63 people calling it a favorite and it made explore.

I was shooting a Wesleyan cross country race and had just moved to a new position down a hill and into the woods. It was raining, dark and gloomy so I need to fire a few shot to set the ISO high enough to maintain my 1/800th of a second shutter speed.

This image was one of the test shots before I started shooting the Wesleyan runners.
