I went online to view my finish photo from my first 1/2 IM.  I was so excited to view it to see how it turned it.  I finished with my hands in the air, big smile, looking riht at the camera and all .  I looked up my BIB number online and some other lady's finish photo was posted as mine- her BIB # loked similiar to mine, but it's clearly not me.  I searched through all the pages of the finsih photos, one by one to see if mine had been placed under someone else's.  Nothing....I usually don't order pics. from every tri I do, but I wanted one from my first 1/2 IM regardless of how bad it was.  And there's nothing...I don't even have any pictures of my on the run course.   ust some crappy swim pics, one lame bike pic, and that's it.  I'm so bummed....I keep thinking they might post more- I can only hope it shows up!

I had the same thing with my 1/2 this summer. Every picture was of someone else, not even the same person in any of the pictures. How can you make money when you are that stupid and unorganized?

It would be one thing if I didn't care, but duriing the whole run I was thinking about what my finish pose would be to pass time.  I had it all figured out and when I pased the photographer I thought "this finish photo is going to be awesome!"  Wish I could see it... I should have had a jock strap to take pictures with my camera...forget the professionals.

There will be many more 1/2's in your future. Don't order the crappy ones just because.

I had the opposite problem. I crossed the finish line for my first 1/2 IM and the photo they got was of my right arm coming halfway down and my right leg flying out to the side....totally dorky, there is no way I'm going to order it. And my family was before the finish line so they got the back of me crossing the finish line.


Are there other runners that crossed the finish line the same time as you? If so look up their number to see if you are in their pictures. And look up the girl that had the number like yours to see if you're under her number.

It's my first 1/2 IM- you have have one first!  And it can't be crappy- I posed for it!  I had to have looked cool!

Was there a section for random photos where they can't identify the number? A pain to look thru all of them, but sometimes they do that.

Thanks, I went there and looked through 1200 pictures and found 3 of me. How do these people make money?

That photography service sucked!  I checked almost all the other women's photos, and some of them only had one swim pic, or 1 bike picture.  I don't get it...

that sucks Janelle. They have a few pics of me but my visor is over my eyes so it looks like I have no face. plus, I think that javelin suit adds 10 lbs. on camera. I keep thinking to myself, do I look that HUGE in person? LOL! I think I'm needing a new tri outfit asap!

Have you seen any pics of people on the podium getting their award? I got 5th place, but i don't see a pic of that. oh well. i need a better jockstrap too. Barry took like 5 pictures the whole time!

I haven't seen any podium pictures.  I got some of Jim, Sue, and Jess that I need to post.  Yeah- I'm not too happy with the race pics, or lack of I should say.
