The best part about taking pictures at the crit races is seeing what I end up with. Half the time the pictures are blurry or I've cut of the head of the rider I was trying to shoot. Every so often I manage to take an AMAZING picture, but my favorite ones are the infamous "Race Face" pictures. I get it, it's hard out there, you're giving it all you've got and that is clearly read across your face.
Here's a few of my favorite Race Faces so far. If you're in any of these pictures, I mean no disrespect! Race Face is a badge of honor. Wear it proud! I can only imagine what I am going to look like when I start racing, but I am sure I will fall into one of the categories below.
POOP FACE. He's either got to poop or Rob's let one loose. Either way, I feel for the guy. |
AHHHH!!!! FACE. Now there's a distraction technique. |
CHEESE FACE. This is my favorite. Whoever you are, keep it coming! |
WANANBE-A-WINNER FACE. Eau de Final Sprint. These never disappoint. |
GRUMPY PANTS FACE. Someone's realized he isn't winning. |
BLOWFISH FACE. Breathing not required. |
50+ FACE This just looks like it hurts! |
LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD FACE. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... |
