Some notes:
As I've said, I walked up a hill for only about 1/8 of a mile somewhere around mile 11. Naturally, the best shot they got of me was when I WASN’T running.
I’m 5’11” and 158 pounds, and still I managed to wear something that made me look fat.
Whit, who is wearing the stocking cap in one shot, is my oldest friend. We ran this together (for 10 miles at least, until he pulled ahead). He owns a martial arts school in Katy, TX.
Thank you for putting up with me as I obsess/obsessed over this.

Okay, this is why I am not a runner. Everyone looks so unhappy in these photos. "Kill me *pant*pant* Kill me now *pant*pant* Wish I'd brought a gun *pant*pant*..."
And what was with the guy in front of Whit? Dude, we do not want to read a number on your package! Return to sender!
Seriously, though: you looked great. (I'd make fun of Whit for his choice of legwear, but he could, like, totally kick my ass.)

Fine...I'll wear a speedo next year, and you'll all be clamoring for the return of the dorky tights-and-shorts combo. ;-)
Brian, you don't look fat! A little sweaty and red-faced, but not fat.

I logged onto the race's website Sunday afternoon to check out your time and was pretty darn impressed. You should've had a little American flag to do your best Bruce Jenner impersonation when crossing the finish line. I, on the other hand, would've looked like John Belushi when he did said Bruce Jenner impersonation on SNL (remember Belushi owed his training secret to the "little chocolate doughnuts" he ate).
I owe my training secret to Blue Bell ice cream...

Thank you all. I'll do better in the next one.
Some folks were a little more concerned with staying warm than I was. At 50 degrees, I thought the weather was about perfect. Sure I was cold while waiting for the gun... I was in the lightest, least-insulating clothing I own.
Oh, and ix-nay on the eedo-spay, Whit...
Yeah, what WAS up with that guy pinning his number to his crotch?? That's wrong on so many levels.
Whit, you look a little like Dave "The Edge" Evans in the picture. Consider that a compliment.
Crotch-Number Guy - he's kidding himself, but he's trying to meet sleek ladies with that ploy.
BB - Um, not looking fat, bud. Unless you were hoping to star The Don Knotts Story.
Caption at finish line - "Where's my metaphysical high you promised me!"
