I <3 race photos. Sometimes they catch me at my best, sometimes they catch me at my worst, but unless they catch me walking my bike after a flat tire, they usually make me smile.
So, while most people dread getting their race photos, I sort of love it. (Chicago in race photos; NYC Half in race photos.)
Hola Mexico. Get out of my way, por favor.
Oh, yeah. I will just give the camera this super-creepy thumbs-up, and then I will go overtake some Kenyans and win the race.
Hi Jimbo. Please keep running so that I can get closer to the camera.
4:19 OR BUST. Or maybe I had just seen a banana and had to run to it.
Or maybe I just needed to use the bathroom.
I thought I <3-ed sweat, but I think I just <3 cameras. I think Tina’s doing a little dance over there.
Lady, I really like your orange and all, but if you don’t move, I have Jack Johnson and Tom O’Leary back here.
I don’t actually know where this is, but I’m going to assume it’s Central Park because there are SO MANY PEOPLE. I definitely ran into quite a few people in the park. I think I picked up my pace in the park because I was so pissed that it was so packed.
Because I can’t run a race without having a stopping-the-Garmin photo. I really thought they took the photo right before the finish line, and I’d be in the clear waiting, but no dice.
See, I tried. I really tried to wait.
If I could have jumped up and down and it wouldn’t have affected my time, I would have been doing this right here.
My legs hurt like all hell here, but I am so goddamn happy.
Love them all!!!!
I think we have to take all the photos, great shots,
You look Great soooooo happy, love you
Mom
Great photos! I enjoy re-living the race through the photos and seeing what I actually looked like out there on the course. You looked like you were enjoying yourself in every photo, except for the one photo where you were running towards a BANANA! Congrats again on a great race.
awesome pics!
One of my race goals is to one day get awesome pictures, or at least awesomely hilarious ones. I like the teeth-gritting ones followed immediately by the happy arms-in-the-air photo.
@Kimra: I honestly prefer awesomely hilarious.
Your blog makes me smile! I love your pictures too! Congratulations, again!
Haha, you got some great photos! The one with Jimbo is hilarious – I always love it when you have to play “where’s waldo” to find yourself in certain pictures because someone else is front and center.
I saw you on the UES and honestly felt like i saw a celebrity! You are amazing!!!
@Annie: ha! Where was I? You should have said hello!
Gorgeous pictures, girl! Way to ROCK IT!
These are unbelievably good…photoshop? ;)I always look horiffic in race photos! Also as a UK blog reader I say don’t hate on jimbo – he’s running for Cancer Research UK
Your race photos turned out amazing! I’d have such a hard time picking which one to buy!
Congrats again – you’re a total rockstar.
My pics are horrendous, glad yours came out better
Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I’ll return the favor next yr!
You look super skinny and no cellulite, haha, I’m jealous! Great photos and a great finish time, congrats!!! Thanks for all the tips on speedwork.
