After each race I do I get excited to see my race photos. The Newport Half was no exception. When I noticed that they were (already!) available, I was stoked! There was definitely the anticipation of seeing if what I looked like matched what I felt like - because I felt good!
Now, I would say that I'm moderately photogenic. Most of the time I look pretty decent in front of the camera but there's always the odd photo when I'm doing something silly and the result is unfortunate. That is in real life. Race photos are a different breed altogether.
I feel like the photographers know how to catch you at your worst! It's like they are trained in it or something. Even if I notice the photographer and try to put on a smile, inevitably it looks like a grimace and nothing like a smile! (This point has been proven to me on numerous occasions.) Well, these race photos cement my notion that race photos are a horrible idea.
See evidence here by searching my last name or my bib number: 3010. Try not to be too horrified.

The images of how I think I look when running are always far more flattering than the photos.
