bitter pill: photo gallery

there are thousands of photos of the bitter pill on the GMARA website and if you like that sort of thing i'm going to suggest you go look at them.

and not just this race, either. that is one huge collection of photos of people being awesome.

i just want to show you the ones that illustrate our day.

at registration. we look so clean. and we still smell good.

this is what it looks like getting on the busses.

this is what the people look like on the bus.

here we are, getting our last briefing before the maps are handed out.

after the maps are handed out

this is us with our map. it is an awesome map.

right out of the start the photographer can see a long train of headlamps.

this is the last time the race management will see us for eight hours.

here is the moment we arrive at the first transition.

all ready to take our boat

getting organized

and off we go!
