I Sprint Like a Goof-Ball
More photos turned up from the Apple Duathlon 9 days ago. Here’s Pharmie and I (she’s to the far right) getting ready in transition before the race:

Here’s the start of my wave. I’m to the far right:

Pharmie and buddy Ann started a few waves later:

I ran into T2:

Pharmie sprinted to the finish:

I sprinted to the finish with this STRANGE stride. What the hell is this?!?

Here I am a few seconds later, and my stride STILL looks like that of a duck:

I my last post of race photos, Coach Liz commented “Too bad they did not get your Pirate shot or the famed shot of you hitting your watch at the finish line.” Oh, but they did. It’s not that they got one or the other - they got the “one-legged pirate shot” JUST AS I was hitting my watch! It was a “twofer!” Race photos don’t get any better than this!!

haha, those are great. love the pirate watch.
ReplyDeleteArrrrg!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are SOME photos!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know ducks sprinted :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pirate photo! Race pictures are just so flattering, aren't they? haha
ReplyDeletewow... just .. wow !
ReplyDeleteHaha, you kind of look like you are stomping. Like a giant. If I could replicate that and run anywhere near as fast as you... then Fee Fi Fo Fum!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I have these dreams every so often where I'm running as hard as I can and going nowhere. That's what my stride looks like ;)
ReplyDeleteTake heart though, you are going somewhere.
I think the 'word' Minnefota is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah!!! A "Twofer"is just what I needed to get my day rolling. Now you just need to wear one of those Headsweats do-rags and pop one lens out of your glasses.
ReplyDeleteHey, I recognize that stride...STOP - Hammer time! Can't touch this:
