one of the runners, deep in thought at the start line. i am not sure what goes through ones head knowing you are about to run for 35 hours straight.
this girl was my favourite runner. she came into one of the checkpoints in the early hours of the second morning and she was totally exhausted, she wasnt going on. she had a cry and a cup of tea and still wasnt going on. then she sat in silence for a while and warmed herself by the fire, then pulled on her shoes and ran on. i wish i could have captured all of that on my camera but it felt like a complete invasion of her privacy, so i didnt. but this is her earlier in the race.
another very smiley runner, shes a trooper. didnt finish due to a hip injury, but a gutsy little chick nonetheless.
i liked watching these 2 interact, and i like this pic for all the bits in the background, with the bike and the flowers, it looks more like they should be having a picnic. but he has a number on his arm and is 50k into a race, but unless you knew that the photo would look completely different.
nothing amazing about this pic, i just like the effort that went into the no parking sign, with the black outline and the cut up bits of card, kinda cute.
these are the arms of my friend Carmen washing out her boyfriends stinky socks.
and this is one of the runners finishing, i like the look on his face, his family were there, it must be an emotional experience.
another two runners coming through the finish.
oh and at some point i got sick of looking at runners and played with some bees.
