Forums >General Running>what is your finish face look like
I think I'm trying to recreate the classic Riggs photo here. Close race for third place in a dinky local 5k race tonight. The guy on the left was right behind me all the back from the turnaround, only passing me with about 400 m to go. I passed him back yards from the line (I think that's what I'm staring at) by using a more ferocious expression.
Blimey O'Reilly!

Oh no, the back view is divine!

I kept having to cut in front of that poor woman finishing behind me. I followed the tangents; she didn't.
So, is there a story behind this photo, or are you just going to leave us dangling?

The story is over in the swamp. This was Bay to Breakers. Enough said, maybe?
I think he just wanted to write 'dangling'

Yup. A lucky few got to see the close ups. (And there is nothing to the back of what he is wearing.)
The important part: He was the first bare-assed finisher at Bay to Breakers. Woo-hoo!

Wow, I think I killed the thread. Like breaking the camera lens. Yes, be glad I didn't post some of the other Bay to Breakers pics.
OK, here's the first finish photo I'm aware of where I'm sticking out my tongue. White River 50.

I was gurning and pointing at my son-in-law ahead who had just beaten me for the first time. Oh dear!!
