The official WORST RACE PICTURE EVER thread!

[monte]

Dave, that is so funny...she really had you running for your money! You should seriously send this as a Christmas card...maybe you can edit Santa in this picture and have you two running to sit on his lap. lol...that would be a hoot.

Here I am locked in combat with one of those nasty 10 year olds at the finishline.

Ok here goes! Worst picture ever taken of me! My hobbling 5K one week after I sprained my KNEE (that happened the day I left for vacation of course).

The cute pirate on my right is my daughter Julia I vow to never look like this in another race picture.

This one is slightly better, and I am in much better condition after running the half marathon than I was after a measley 5K.

Can I just say how much I regret starting this thread every time I see that terrrrrrible picture of me resurface on the board?

No seriously though, keep them coming! There has to be a bunch from this weekend!

Here I am after having sustained a small foot problem that was really hurting me. I pray that I don't look like this all of the time when I am running. If I do, I may have to stop!!

Aww, Bryan - you just look like you're really focused! Which is pretty good, given that you were in pain.

Here's mine from this weekend - beyond my vast quantities of pasty-white flesh (which always seems to look worst with the lime green reflection, I've got not so much a smile as a sneer. At mile 13, you'd think I could manage to look a little happier. Especially taking my own photo! Also, why did I stop, turn around and take a photo? Who knows. I do like how you can see spaceship earth in my sunglasses, though!

How are you guys copying the professional photos? I actually plan to buy my CD but want to go through Lost and Found before I order it. Everytime I go to copy a photo I get that copyright notice.

Here is a terrible picture. I don't have any of my Disney pics at work but the face I am making in this one is just a disaster.

-Bring up the photo thumbnail in the largest size you can on the site
-Hit the "print screen" key on your keyboard
-Open up MS Paint (or any picture program/editor)
-Go to Edit -> Paste
-Use the box tool in the upper right corner of the upper left side toolbar
-Drag it around the area of the freeze frame you want to crop
-Edit -> Cut
-File -> New (no need to save the leftover freeze frame)
-Edit -> Paste
-File -> Save As -> make sure file type is jpg and name it whatever
Voila!

Note the quality will only be as good as the thumbnail on your screen.

I'm loving this thread!! Here's my contibution:

 

[jeanneg]

Thanks for the tutorial, Matt......I think it's gonna work!

This is in Epcot just a little before the end. Check out what happened to my skirt......it was fine until my last porta-potty stop where I apparently forgot to pull it up all the way! And note how I'm grasping Anne and Karen's little orange washcloth for dear life. It became my little WISH security blanket!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Thanks Matt!!!!! I'm saving photos like crazy!!!!!

Hi All - I was horrified when I saw my race photos from my first official race. This thread has helped me feel better - knowing that other people must have been as shocked as me when they saw their pictures.

Here is my contribution - I don't really know how to explain what is wrong, other than to say I hope I don't really look like that (and my DH has assured me I don't - after he stopped laughing)
