## Caption

Sometimes, you just plain miss.
:
Missed a shot of Amanda Montplaisir from @minnsttrackxc during the race, who finished ninth in the women’s 6k championship race.
:
I was able to get their other All-American @makenna.thurston who was 17th (photo 1)
:
In doing another pass, I found a shot of Amanda…unfortunately I was focused on another runner.
:
I tried all the @photoshop tricks that I know, but couldn’t save it, so this is the best I can come up with.
