Photo of the Week: Hello???
This weeks photo was published by a friend, Jeff Da Runner, on Facebook in his “What the H— is She Doing” album and gathered a number of comments from runners who thought the lady on the cell phone was committing a big “No No”. So what do you think? It’s one thing to bring a phone a long for a race for emergencies or if you get lost but pulling it out on a busy finish line looks like more of a safety issue then those running with headphones on. Thanks Jeff for emailing me this photo.

looking at the close-up, I’d guess that she’s not in the race, but is some kind of support person. I see credentials hanging around her neck.

I sure that she is taking a very important call. Probably has Putin on the hotline right now.

She doesn’t look like a runner; as Debbie said, she has credentials so she is probably some sort of support person.
Also, I doubt that that is the finish line, it looks more like a checkpoint (half way, one of the 5k marks, etc) since nobody is slowing down after passing the mats.
That said, what the hell is she thinking?!?

That is a support person. The Disney Marathon Weekend is real weird. I ran the Goofy and I brought my phone along just in case and so I could coordinate with my Athletic Supporters after the race. The real weird part is the that is it disney and camera phones are a part of the race.
Many people stop and have a picture taken with the characters during the race. They are littered through out the course and can be a great help because there are portions of the parks with not Cheertators just staff. Still I could not bring myself to stop to take a picture with any of them. Not even the Incredibles. The tunnel with the Costuming was cool though. I did stop twice. Once in the half to make a deposit. And once in the Marathon to exchange my cap for my visor. Both cost me valuble seconds but not once did I use my phone till I had my medals in hand.
