Forums >General Running>what is your finish face look like
My girlfriend captured this gem of me at a trail 10 miler this past Saturday. I knew I was grimacing, but not THAT much.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek

Peace out!
Coming into the finish at the Empire State Marathon, Oct 2012, Syracuse, NY. The grim look is because my calves were cramping so bad I had to keep my feet perfectly still. If I flexed the ankle in either direction, I would knot up and have to stop. I was in view of family, so I wanted to be running across that finish line. It was an odd gait, but I made it.

Me finishing this year's turkey trot 5k with a sullen grimace. That kid made me work hard down the final stretch.

I can't help but think of 'Cat Scratch Fever' as the title for this....

Merry Christmas!
I look more tired and dead in the middle of the race, actually. At the end I tend to look pissed off because my sprinting face is pretty mad. During the end of the second mile and beginning of the third in a 5K is where I usually start to get pretty tired. Then during the last .75 mi is where I start to kick it and then I look angry. I get made fun of a lot. A ton of people that I know like to take my picture and then I see them all over Facebook the next week.
This is my halfway face:
This is my finishing face:
I wish I was as young as I look in the forum picture! But I'm not. :(

I dunno, I think those have been photoshopped.

Thanks you guys.
I hate my race photos in general, but when this one came across the inter webs, I told my husband, 'Money shot!'
The first pic is my second half from a couple of months ago. The second pic is from a mud run a couple of years ago. I am the short white guy in the back that can barley open his eyes because of the grit. It was my wifes first time to run, ever, and she finished all 6.2 miles of it.
