Picking up from last time –
Before I write my final entry on this event (for Monday), I want to bring up the pictures really fast!
I didn’t think too terribly much about the professional pictures while on the course. (I mean, I did a little because at one point Joanna told me a photographer was there. That made me so happy to remember our big moments were being caught.)
But, once the photos came out, I didn’t see myself in practically any of them! I looked through all 18,000. (*Shakes head at my waste of time.*) I saw myself in the background a few times – you can see my face. But there are none of me looking super cool and conquer-y.
So, maybe that is the one bad thing about being blindfolded. Sometimes in half marathons or marathons, I look for the camera. When I see it, I try to look extra pose-y or fast or fun or whatever.
Here, I didn’t know where the camera was, which meant I couldn’t do all my mugging to the camera. Also, our bibs were basically never visible between the mud and the various body positions you had to be in for climbing and such. Hence, why I looked through all 18,000 to try to find sweet photos of me and my new buds.
So, thank goodness I took so many photos before/after the race, and that I had a friend who could see the last quarter mile or so and took a bunch of pictures of that.
But where am I on the water slide, and climbing up and down nets, and doing all that stuff in the middle?
*Single tear*
I’ll finish up here Monday
