They Want to Charge Me $35 For This?

Official race photos are in from the Red, White, and Boom! TC Half Marathon.  Even in the slightly soggy conditions, they managed to get a few OK shots of me.

Ok, I do look a little awkward in this one

Her face looks like she saw a zombie—or she is a zombie

Managing a wave with about ½ mile to go and my calf going YEOOOWWW!

So really, those aren't so bad.  But it seems as though professional race photographers have a knack for getting the absolute worst pictures ever.  Exhibit A:

What am I doing here?  I look like I'm terrified, having a seizure, and ready to fall over all at the same time.

How do they manage to take such awful photos?  I think they do this on purpose.  But the rub comes if I want to buy the photo.  You see, if I want a high quality digital copy of this photograph sans watermark, I have the privilege of paying $35—for this one photo!  I'd be more likely to pay them $35 to not show it to me.

At least in the ones before the finish you look like you're enjoying yourself. That's more than what I can say for most of my (limited number of) race photos.
