Half Marathon Pix!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Here are the Bright room shots, and I'll have more from after the race when I get my film developed. I'm in the white shirt, Jamie's in the red. The last picture is me sprinting for the finish line, at which moment I clearly did leave Jamie behind!
I ran in the compression tri shorts that I bought for the tri in August. They felt so much better than regular running shorts. I also wore my Enell bra, the first time I've worn it for racing. It was perfect. No chest soreness afterwards. I'd ordered it for the marathon last year, but it didn't arrive in time. I think I'm even going to try wearing it for a tri next year!
Here ya go:Last edited by Lise; 10-04-2006 at 05:04 AM.

I love the photos.
Thank you for sharing them. Tell me more about the sports bra, please?

You look great finding the power to kick at the end! And, look at that body! You deserve an aero top for your tri's.

Isn't that cool? I love that!

I have to put plenty of Body Glide under the bottom band, right in the front, or it does chafe me. Other than that, it's wonderful. Completely holds my breasts against my chest. I usually have sore, sore pecs after running > about 5 miles, but not with the Enell. Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3

Ooh! Ooh! I meant to tell you I went out and got an aero top after you gently chastised me, SK!!! I wanted to wear the shirt with my dad's picture for this race, but next tri it will either be trisuit or aero top + tri shorts, all the way! Originally Posted by SadieKate

Thanks again.
Back to work! L.

I loved the shirt with your dad's picture. I think MP is putting my dad's name on something she has going for her marathon. I just think that's tres cool.
PS - TE also has the Enell bra.

Thank you, MP. That is, of course, the highest compliment you could pay me. Originally Posted by maillotpois

SK, I'm looking forward to seeing MP's shirt! And thanks for finding the Enell bra on TE. I don't think I even looked there. I got my first one from Enell--it took *20*, count 'em, *20* weeks for them to process my order, since Oprah had just promoted them, and they were swamped. That's why I didn't get it in time for the marathon. I hadn't found this board yet, and it didn't occur to me to just cancel my order and look elsewhere! Originally Posted by SadieKate

Yep... love the sprint at the end!

Woohoo Lise!
Flying through the air like your avatar!
You really look like you are enjoying it - thats what it should be about.
Way to go
