We all have them. I say they are moments of pride too (pride in humility maybe but still!).

Feel free to tell the story, or not ... but finally, here's a use for all those pictures that came in the packet that you swore you'd never bring to light.

Here's the finisher's photo from my VERY FIRST TRI!!! (reverse tri = Swamp Thing)

I still have the SAME sports bra and I'm STILL wearing it. Those are red running shorts. That's what I wore for the whole race.

Okay, if I'm going to give you garbage I guess I'll post one.

This is falling on my a$$ the day I learned the earplug for dizziness after the swim trick. I wore them for warm up and was fine. Forgot them during the race and ka-wham on my butt right before T1.

I have to admit, I am laughing my, uh, 'donkey' off myself Love ya Daniel and that pic is priceless, made my day ... exactly what I'm talkin' about, yo!

P.S. That bra has been washed surprisingly little ... then again, it ain't the most dryin' material around so I don't use it for long/important stuff and definitely not during races. I think I wore it for a half mary though.

She was playing all little-old-lady-concerned but she was just checking out your butt and wanted to ogle you further. The pics says it all.

Every picture tells a story and a picture is worth a 1000 words, BUT, it's what the folks here interpret and state that adds to the enjoyment.

I have my IMC 2001 pics somewhere. I had a horrible race. Came completely unglued on the run. My pics look like that evolution of Man poster, but backwards.  I call them the de-evolution of Lori series.   I'm up straight running with good form in the first one. There were 4 in all. Each gets progressively more hunched over and miserable looking.

Here's me barely surviving the measly 400 meter swim of my first tri. (I had just started swimming THREE WEEKS earlier.)

(And no, I'm not the woman in front jauntily heading to T1 with a big smile.)

I call this photo "Let's Not Barf In T1".

1st Tri... My family was about the only group left.

Not the worse pic, but every single one shows me in pain and jiggling.

Funny story, my wife said that our kids were playing with some family's kids and everyone kept asking for the guy with an accent's picture.

He made a funny face when she explained that I was still finishing.

When we were watching Macca win Kona, she says, "That was him!"

 

 

Less jiggle, more pain.

Did I mention that I am slow and hate running?!

My worst race pictures are from a last-year race. I looked so horrible in all of them I did not even order them. I saved the tiny proofs just to remind me to train harder for the next race so that I never look like THAT in a race picture again. The saddest part was for some reason during the race I thought I looked really good. During the run I stopped because of a quad cramp and the guy behind me said "No, do not stop, you are my inspiration." I interpreted it as "you look so hot, I just have to follow you". After I saw the pictures I realized what he meant was: "You look such a mess!! If you can finish, I should be able to finish, too".

I am considering getting a race T-Shirt that says 'I look much better in a dress and heels"
