..despite the hot, humid conditions, the half marathon last sunday was a fun run.. the initial hydrating stations were a mess, i think i drank too much gatorade, i wore the wrong shoes (= blisters), and they ran out of medals (boo)..
..i also held back because i was waiting for the wifey’s text message from our predetermined photo op areas and hopefully get in some crazy poses, but due to crazy traffic, and people milling around, she just got some shots of me from the finish line..
..here’s a where’s waldo type of shot..
..view this in mono..

haha. waldo it is. wow, running in montana has its advantages. that’s like the whole state right there in your shot :p
Amazing mess of colors and people. Not the usual sports shot…
This is the street chaos :))
Where’s Waldo? That is just too funny!
So is that you in the forefront? I can’t believe they ran out of medals.
Looks like quite the concentration of people…too many people. 🙂 Interesting description of the situation too. Fine shot.
Wow alot of people ran the race it looks like! That stinks they ran out of medals though 🙁
ha! where is Waldo!
i didn’t know you were a runner, i used to run long distance, well not that long, 7 – 10 miles a day, i used to love it, till my body gave out lol anyway, i have no idea where you are in this pic!! hope you had fun, too bad you didn’t get a medal tho 🙁 and uh, nice shot!!!
Looks quite crowded… cool shot though, and I am in nowhere near the sahpe to try something like that. Well done
Hey, congrats for still being in a super shape :))) You with sunglasses ? I guess so !! Cool shot !!!
Well it looks like a pretty chaotic scene. Congrats on doing the run. I run almost daily, at least 4 days/week, but I don’t think I would try one of these.
Congrats to you for running! That’s awesome…or is that you drinking the beer on the sidewalk? 🙂
thanks! it’s odd that you mentioned that.. a cold bottle of beer was the first thing i craved for after crossing the finish line.. 😀
Must’ve been a great workout though! I’m sure you felt like a million bucks after the run! =]
Yes, congratulations on running, I bet it was great, and I bet that beer tasted great afterwards. Nicely composed shot as well !!
Yay you! Great accomplishment! I’ve only run a half marathon once- would love to run this race some day…and the Boston marathon just for good measure! 😉
You should head down this way and run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta-fun race, cold beer, and great t-shirts…oh yeah, and hot as hell-on the fourth of July!
Great shot, by the way-really captures the experience!
