Know your A/R/Tists...

--amadeus--

These threads are pretty popular on other forums...

The basic idea is that you put up a pic of yourself along with some generic info. But since this is A/R/T it has to be a race/tri pic.

I suppose I'll have to start...



Your truly, totally shattered after Amsterdam. I'm not going to bother with any waffle about myself - everyone knows how awesome I am :P

One rule - you can only post with a photo

pgibbo

Great idea....

Here I am at the halfway point in the run in The Lost Sheep this year. It was my first Half Ironman and I don't think I will ever forget the pain of those last 2 miles. No smart comments about the shades...I get enough of those!

robinph

Now I'm all undecided about which picture to post of me.

Should I post "that" picture? Or maybe I should just stick with one of me actually running?

Sorry guys, seeing as pgibbo mentioned shades I decided to go for one with my eyes covered. That other picture can make people go blind allegedly.

in a distinctive Haile-esque finishing pose I might add!

Blueskye

Me during the Dublin City Marathon 2009, not a good day for me but looking forward to many more marathons.

Me, with the Boards vest, near the virtual finish line at the European Trial (uphill only) race this year.

Only reason I'm actually posting this atrocity is because I have both feet off the ground.

The final straight of the Half Marathon in September.

Thanks to RobinPH for this 'gliding' picture at the Adidas HM

Still makes me laugh:D

The Rook

Taken during the Donadea 10k race... I like how the blurry look makes it seem like I'm flying along when I'm actually not !!

32 years young just really getting into running properly for the first time in my life!

plodder

2nd from right, concentrating hard not to fall into the drink at the North County Farmers XC this year.

Great thread. I know a good few of you already but ...........I imagined --amadeus-- to be older and a bit like Sam the Eagle and Slogger to be more like Fred Flintstone.

This is me at the start of the Bandon 5 last December, centre with hat and Cru singlet.

--amadeus--

Older? Sam The Eagle?? I thought everyone thought of me as a slightly faster but much younger version of George Clooney...

And I have to say that SJs photo makes me feel positively muscle bound! Mrs SJ needs to get some potatoes in you!

And as for the airshots - I see your airshots and raise you an airshot with grimace!



Entering the Olympic Stadium, 400m from the end of the Amsterdam marathon as the realisation dawned that sub 3 was gone...

metamorphosis

I love this one because i have 2 feet mid air. Oh yeah!



Dublin mara at around 10 miles i think

Another air-shot, I like this one 'cos I'm out in front, taken at Galway T&F, when I had the easy job of bringing home a relay.

With thanks to John O'Connor and Athenry AC

Way to take the shine off my airshot guys geeez!!

aero2k

These should probably be on the before and after thread...
Crossing the line in DCM '83 and around 24.5 miles in DCM '09

The lack of hair accounts for the 19 min improvement...

Not looking as lean as most on here but getting there slowly at the moment.
Taken at a 3k at the end of the summer.

Those are not air shots.

I think that's me in the background just beneath your left elbow. Does that cover me ?

another world

Here´s one from the start of a 10k race back in May. It should be easy enough to pick me out

I'll see --Amadeus's-- air shot witha grimace and your hat...



and raise you... a full sprint pose at the GIR in april (pre sunshine!).

I was hungover, hence the glasses on a cloudy day ... ahem.. Pic 1 is me bored and plodding along around half way, Pic 2 was me deciding to full on sprint the last 200m and Pic 3 finishing looking like I meant business (when I spent 95% of the race looking around) ... hangover cured
