red deer marathon report part EIGHT(?!) - race photos
My favorite one first. It’s pretty far into the marathon - I’d say about 30k in and I think I look decent. One thing you might note is that there’s no one around me. The race was pretty spread out at this point. I’d say that I was passing runners every five minutes or so at this point.
Now, I’ll switch to early on in the race. I remember this spot of the race pretty clearly. I’d say it was at about 5k so it was pretty soon after I’d kicked into race pace. I remember it because of #122 I’m passing in the picture. See her gel flasks? She had two more on her back side and I remember thinking how differently we were approaching the whole fueling thing - her with four flasks of gel, and me with nothing. I looked up her number and she’s not in the results so it looks like she might have DNF’d.
These next two pics are at about 35k. I remember because I passed that walker (there were very few people out there!) and then spotted the photographer moments later. I was really digging deep here. Things were starting to hurt.
And, of course, the finish photo. Don’t you think I look just slightly relieved to be finishing? 
I’d say you held it together pretty well.
