naomi let me know the other day that our race pictures from the half marathon were online. you see, during the race, at strategic points, they have cameramen up on ladders, perches, etc, taking photographs of absolutely everybody, and later on you can search by your bib number and order any prints you like.

i'm not going to order these shots, but i just think the succession of them is funny:

1. woo! i'm running and all energized and nothing can stop me!

2. between that photo and the finish line (which is like 50 feet later) something apparently goes terribly wrong; i am so busted that i cannot even be bothered torun across the finish line.

3. cameraman captures me immediately before i list confusedly off to the side and pass out. at least i beat the fat dude behind me.
