Know your A/R/Tists...

--amadeus-- · 09-11-2009 5:34pm #1

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 · 09-11-2009 5:56pm

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 · 09-11-2009 6:10pm

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!

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

rainbow kirby · 09-11-2009 8:15pm

Me near the end of DCM '09... hopefully many more to come! (I'm the one in the blue t-shirt)

Slogger Jogger · 09-11-2009 8:33pm

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

RacoonQueen · 09-11-2009 9:13pm

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

gerard65 · 09-11-2009 10:38pm

Still makes me laugh:D

The Rook · 09-11-2009 10:53pm

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 · 10-11-2009 1:27am

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

RoyMcC · 10-11-2009 8:51am

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-- · 10-11-2009 10:34am

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 · 10-11-2009 10:46am

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

Dublin mara at around 10 miles i think

dna_leri · 10-11-2009 12:55pm

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

RacoonQueen · 10-11-2009 1:00pm

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

aero2k · 10-11-2009 1:02pm

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.

Dublin marathon 2009... I can spot a camera from a mile off

dario28 · 10-11-2009 2:15pm

Central Coast half marathon....in Australia , ya wouldnt guess with the lashing rain though !

robinph · 10-11-2009 2:44pm

Those are not air shots.

Or does that count as cheating?

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

?

another world · 10-11-2009 3:38pm

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...

cid:860191414@10112009-0BDD

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

kennyb3 · 10-11-2009 4:03pm

in the boards jersey obviously

Bally8 · 10-11-2009 4:07pm

Dont think you will ever see a photo of me mid air, at this stage of the marathon I was lucky to be still standing:)

CaoimheX · 10-11-2009 6:02pm

A question, How do you embed a pic onto a post like previous samples from Bally8?

Domer · 10-11-2009 6:13pm

Dublin 09. The ones of me nearer to the finish don't show my better side (neither does this, but there you go!!!)

[ IMG ] <url to photo> [ /IMG ]

But without the spaces between the [ and ].

Also the likes of Flickr, if that is where the photo is, like you to include links back to their site, but that can be for the next lesson.

You can always click on the quote button of someones post and then you'll see what code they used to display the pictures, then just hit back once you've figured it out without posting.

CaoimheX · 10-11-2009 6:16pm

Test, please ignore

CaoimheX · 10-11-2009 6:22pm

Hi Robin, would I be correct in saying that you can only do it with a pic from a webpage, not one that is on you own desktop/machine?

Domer · 10-11-2009 6:23pm

Just click on the paperclip in the message window, and browse to the image. i did it that way and it was easier... no offense Robin, I'm not a techie!

No offense domer !, I want to do a post like the one Bally8 did up above.

robinph · 10-11-2009 6:27pm

Oh yeah, there is actually shortcut button to do it for you when you make a post. Hover over the icons until you find the "Insert Image" one, you can only do that for pictures that are already uploaded online somewhere though.

I tend to type these thing manually and keep missing the "easy" ways of doing it.

CaoimheX · 10-11-2009 6:42pm

I have found pics on marathonfoto but embedding them into a post here may infringe copyright as it has the © symbol on them.

tunguska · 10-11-2009 6:45pm

Im not annette Kealy or pauline culey:). Im the one with his name on the T-shirt. Not a vanity trip or anything, I was doing the marathon for concern and they sent me out a T-shirt that had my name on it. I wasnt gonna wear it because of the name thing but I didnt want to offend anybody in concern so I wore it in the end.
This was at about 22miles gone and those two ladies were having an almighty battle, it was great stuff.

CaoimheX · 10-11-2009 7:09pm

It is I in the Boards AC singlet. Fun day out at the Clare 10k and not too shabby a finishing time either!

Going to a fancy dress party. You can see my baby daughter looking at me, obviously wondering if her daddy has now completely lost his marbles.

Slogger Jogger · 10-11-2009 8:27pm

Nice thread. My missus agrees that I'm too skinny! I wouldn't mind but I eat for Ireland.

Know your A/R/Tists...
