“Beginning of my mental breakdown, right before mile 19.5 I was so excited that the photographers captured that moment. Really wanted to kick that gravel at them.” - Stephanie, Walt Disney World Marathon - part of the Goofy Challenge, January 13, 2013

Tue, 14 May 2013 09:30:33 -0400

“This was at the SheROX triathlon in Detroit, July 2012. They’re both a picture of me waving to my friends. The first was taken by my husband and I look great even if it is a little blurry. The race photographer was shooting from a different angle and somehow managed to capture me running sideways, arms flailing, look of death on my face. I have no idea how two pictures taken about a half a second apart can be so different.” - Kristin, @KristinDetroit

Mon, 13 May 2013 09:30:17 -0400

“I look like I am about to die halfway through this 20K. Although I had a PB in this race and had a excellent run, this photo captured the complete opposite. I think it is the look on my face, all the skin in my face on a downward motion, death march emotion, etc. Whatever it is, i think it qualifies. Note: my fiancee said this doesn’t EVEN look like me in this pic. I would agree.” -

“This entire range of emotion happened over approx. 10-15 seconds at Mile 25 of the race, and the photographer captured all of it. I had hit the wall BIG TIME, and when I saw him, I couldn’t muster a socially acceptable face. Then, I decided, “Well, maybe I’ll at least give him ‘Determined,’” and then I was like, “GOD*******, Hillary. If you get NOTHING else from this race, you will GET A SMILEY RACE PHOTO.” I guess I also got a 6min PR, but I’m almost more proud of these photos.” - Hillary, Wisconsin Marathon, May 4, 2013, 3:44:00

“The first photo was taken at the Marshfield Mudlark, Wiltshire, UK on 2nd October 2011. All I can say it was a very hot day, I was enjoying the run and watching where to put my feet. No explanation for the ‘thumbs up.’”

“Second photo is at the end of the Chilly 10K, at Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire on 20th November 2011. Totally gormless face, not able to close my mouth as body is too busy gasping for air whilst brain is too busy saying “Did I get a PB? Did I get a PB? Did I get a PB?” (Yes I did!)” - Lucy, @ShepherdLucy
