This thread is full of win.
I have no finish pics. I elude the finish line, like a cat eludes water.

That looks a lot more badass than your "before" picture in another thread.

Saw this picture of me from my recent local 14K club race and thought of this thread. It looks like I was about to cry. My eyes were on the finish line for sure. The wind was blowing hard and was actually a tail wind there at the finish, but it was brutal out on the gravel/dirt roads during the middle of the race.
Here's a picture one of the volunteers took during the race as one of the first runners came through at about mile 7. Fun day for a race, winds were gusting to 38mph at the finish. Running into the wind on that dirt road was sheer joy.

not bad for mile 25
Looks brutal.
Looks like the dust bowl days are returning
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

He might be annoyed, but this is my brother:
(The story behind it is he finished the race and went to pace a friend, but didn't want to cross the finish line twice.)
Bring it on.

This was very close to the finish. I couldn't see the seconds column on my watch but knew that I was at 3:54:XX with a goal of sub 3:55.

Sometimes it ain't pretty...
About a mile from the finish of a 1:19:50 hm, wondering if I'm tearing my left hamstring from the bone.

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

I am usually gritting my teeth and grunting and growling. Lots of animal like expressions and noises help to finish stronger !!!
