1) Brennan looking cold and musclerific, me hiding behind him. 2) Tim being the most badass 40 something year old ever and my bodyless head scrambling to use the netting even though I had no feeling in my arms at this point.3) Tim leaping over fire and me looking slightly terrified in the background. 4) Mooney being all ex marine like and showing the fire who is boss, again me in the background gearing up to make the leap.
5) Me being all beast like holding a bodyless arm. 6) LOOK ITS MOONEY!! And if your were wondering yes I pulled him up there all by myself, he didn’t help at all ; )
7) Looking elbowrific per usual. 8) OH hey right elbow, welcome to the “I have huge muscles and my arms don’t hang straight” party.
9) Oh is that a camera? Let me try to look as attractive as possible. 10) Looking adorable and happy, NBD mile 10, whats up.
11) Making sure I stop my watch EXACTLY the moment I cross. 12) Chins and more chins. 13) Sweaty and delusional.
14) Another finish line photo. 15) Hauling ass making one of the sexiest faces known to man. 16) Same face, even more pronounced, AND a perfect view of just HOW pigeon-toed I truly am.

This just made my day. hahaha I love seeing race pics. Man oh man, running is hands down the most attractive sport on the planet!!! Gravity hates me when I run, and I literally have 8 chins 😀 CUTE.
In real life I quite enjoy my jaw line, racing shows the true beauty of ALL the chins. It is like they all want to come out and play ONLY when I run. Woof.
LOVE these pictures! Making me so excited for my race coming up in June! Some seriously badass expressions going on at the finish line!
It is a lot of fun, I hope they don’t change your course up because of the injuries / death from mine!
these pictures are so great! This looks like such an intense race- I’m not sure I could handle it all haha
It was one of the more miserable due to the cold. I am doing a different obstacle course in the fall (rogue runner) that I am super excited about! Less mud I believe!
These are awesome!! I think you seriously look like a bad ass!! I look HORRIFIC in my race photos. THE ONLY good photo I have seen was from Disney half marathon, but this was ONLY because I was as good as walking at this photo opp because of ALL the congestion. I smiled and look somewhat normal haha. All the others..I look like I am dying.
The only good one I have is the picture on the right panel of the blog. And somehow there is no PROOF flying across it either. I definitely did NOT purchase : )
HAhaha this is awesome! 🙂
Happy to provide a little amusement at my own expense!
Some race pics should be hidden others exposed to give us a laugh – thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh you are welcome. I never thought I’d find so much joy in sharing hideous pictures with the world online!
Hahaha great post! I only ever take horrible race pictures, the only good ones I have our of me far away or covered in mud..lol
Yes!! I have some stellar ones from the first mudder and I just like a total bad ass! The mud definitely helps! And distance helps hide looks of “wtf am I doing…”
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve never seen a good race picture of, well, almost anyone! And I think that any picture involving you leaping over a pit of fire is automatically a good picture because, again: you. jumping. fire. 🙂
Hahah excellent attitude! It is pretty badass : )
My race picks are the worst. I always end up waving or giving a thumbs up and look like an idiot. What a fun idea for a post!
