Just got the 16 photos through from the official photographer. Here's one - more will follow when I work out how to purchase them. (v clever marketing how they locate you out of 9000 people! - one advantage of not being a pack rider is they get good solo shots of you - although that does include the leg shots - and my legs aren't quite hot enough (yet) to bask in the photographic glory of wanting these photos) This is me going up the first hill! There are a couple of nicer shots where I look less like the Molenberg lady popping out of her lycra, but I like this shot, because I took that hill! - and I look happy eh?
Actually, I look happy in all 16 shots. Although 3 of those 16 shots don't look like me at all - becasue they are not!
I'll probably purchase a set of photos, even the ones of me walking - because its good to have a photo record of my record breaking 2011 challenge!
A nice thing happened at work today: my colleagues had decorated my pod saying I was a Taupo winner - with pictures of bikes and stuff. Nice eh? Its kind of a thing my colleagues do. Celebrate each others achievements; birthdays, babys, winning bowling tournaments, weddings etc. It felt nice they had done that, especially given my prospects of having a baby or wedding are extremely remote! I was late too work this morning becasue the train got stuck in the tunnel. My acting manager goes "so why didn't you bike to work then?" Ha! One day man, one day :-) .
