Spectator photos from IMLP

These are some very, very nice photos. I love the photo of the finish at night. The sort of blurry quality to it depicts how the finish feels to a tired competitor. It is the best image I have seen of the finish from a competitors perspective. For someone who wants to know how the finish feels for a racer out there for 15:33, this is it.

Very well done.

Thanks. I wish I could say I planned to blur the shot that way…but really my hand just slipped…

I got so wrapped up in the race at times that I often missed a great photo op. It was great being at the finish in the last few hours, even after a LONG day.

Brings back alot of memories of that magical place. Was there in 2002 and finished without having to wear a glow stick. Man was I happy.

Great pics

Thanks for the great pictures. I can see me in the swim start one. Only 20 more minutes and that would have been me crossing the finish line at night…

Thanks for posting - these are great. In the swim photo, I’m the guy in the purple cap getting kicked in the face.
