I just got the link to the pictures from a race I did yesterday (Sunday). Seriously, is it me or do the photographers go out of their way to capture the most pained expressions and unflattering positions possible? Don't answer that, it's me... The camera doesn't lie.

They always seem to snap right after a foot strike, and my face is stretched down so I look like a sweaty 150 year old man. It's a good look.

Pro tip = smile at the camera ! I say that half joking. First couple of years every race picture I looked like I was really suffering. I decided to go out of my way and smile at the next race. Photo turned out only slightly horrible instead of completely horrific. I've gotten better at it over the years. To the point now most of my friends get pissed because I look relaxed and happy. I don't pose, jump or do anything but go about my race. While I send them a constant stream of their race pictures full of suffering and or embarrassing looks.

True! I knew my triathlon hobby was going to take a hiatus after my last race and I wanted to mean every minute of it. By the end I looked awful. haha All races before I had a playful look but still managed to look goofy. Definitely not what you picture in your mind with all the glory crossing the line.
