(Not so) Pretty Pictures

Well the photos are here but I sure don't get any prettier with age.



The compression socks have made their debut this year. No doubt I'll be afraid to run without them from now on. This is just before I nipped into my hotel to pick up my jacket (which you can see in the latter photos hanging from my bag belt unused).



Here's a couple from Chocolate Corner. It's all downhill from here:





This is just coming up to the finish:







Take a closer look at that thigh and knee in the first of the above three photos. What the hell is going on there? Looks like a tendon on top of my kneecap.



I bet that's put you off your tea!

Official Imagery

Photos from http://www.marathon-photos.com/ (for a fee):

This is me levitating above Lauterbrunnen high street .....


...and this is me impersonating a proper runner .....

...and this is me (1500m higher and 3 hours later) pretending to be tired on the morraine...


...and cruising down to the finish line....


I'd have tucked in my shirt if I'd known I was going to have my picture taken.

Bet you didn't spot the shoe change.

..... and here's me in action (from http://www.finisherclip.ch/):


Click on the play button and look for the white cap coming down the hill.

Thanks for watching.
