NYC Marathon Pictures from Lost-and-Found Gallery

[fitfool]

This past weekend I scanned through over 28,000 pictures in the Lost-n-Found section to see if I could find any more pictures of myself from the marathon (my race report in a previous post). I did pick up one more of myself and got to play detective and matched up about 3 dozen other unidentified runners (based on clues like partial bib #s, names on shirts, and country flags) and sent those in to Brightroom. Even if they don't buy the pictures, I figure they'll at least look at them and I got a little thrill every time I matched someone up to a bib #. Exciting to scan through those pictures. Lots of great handcycle pictures (their bib #s got blocked by the handcycle cranks) and I got to see a bunch of the costumed runners.



Some highlights:
* One of the Achilles Team members (with TWO prosthetic legs)
* save-the-rhino
* the Blues Brothers
* Spiderman
* Superman
* a wizard
* Handcycles headed uphill
* in full firemen gear
* Emotional displays: Exultant | overwhelmed | mission accomplished | content, with kids | fighting on | disappointed
* And if you're into ogling physiques, the warm day exposed a lot of skin (here and here and here).

Oh and some of you run with the Reservoir Dogs, right? Do you know this person?

And another question...the bridge that the firemen are on...which one is that? I didn't like it and neither did my feet. Oww.
