It was my third local relay race where I volunteered to take photos of my colleagues. Shortly after the start, heavy rain began to fall. I was observing how one oft the event marshals grabbed a rain poncho, only to put it away shortly after. They smiled, knowing that at that point they were already completely soaked.
