LOL - good to see there is another out there who believes the camera can lie sometimes.
I love the shots by the way. Women look fabulous when there out there living life to the full.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Oh, man, I know how you feel! My friend Jamie and I did the half marathon last year, and when the pix came out, all we could say was, "I'll never wear those kind of shorts again!"
The camera cannot possibly capture the beauty of a strong woman in motion!Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

I especially like the last running shot, with the orange cones. At least you're smiling, and haven't turned some horrible color, like I always do! I've had _one_ event photo I liked, ever...

Oh stop- you look healthy and like you're having fun. I understand tho for sure! I'm super self-critical when it comes to race pictures (never bought one because I always look like a house, in pain, dying, etc). I take that back- I bought one of me at the Nike San. Fran Women's Marathon because the ocean was in the background (forget looking at me).
I think they're good shots- I especially like the last one of you and the cones where you're smiling. That's a good shot (and I like the head-on shot of you on the bike-like you're gonna mow that camera man down).
I don't think race photographers are super skilled at getting the best action shots in the most flattering postions (and who can blame them-they're crazy busy at a race). I think I need to adopt some kind of pose/facial expression/wacky hand wave to do at race photographers. That way at least I won't look so deathly in pictures (and I can laugh at them when viewing them online after the event).Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

RM, I think you look great! I especially like the picture of you on the bike -- you look like a strong, athletic woman having a great time! And I'm positive that you can outrun, outride, and outswim me and most of the people I know (including men). I don't know if you realize it, but you are definitely an inspiration to many of us.
