	This is me applying, um, well, getting well-lubricated before the race. Hey, it's a necessity!!!
	Sir Phil reaches for the jar. As much as this may seem low-brow, it's a ritual we adhere to time and time again. Some things are just the lesser of two evils.
	Stretching at the start line. It was a lot brighter than this but the disposable camera made it seem darker. The building on the right is the base gym on Marine Corps Base Quantico.
	Sir Phil berates me for taking pictures when we should be getting ready for the race.
	The obligatory shot of the crowd lined up for the start line.
	Here I am running for the tape. Actually, there was no tape. Just a chute with some girl desperately trying to rip off the finishing tag from a bunch of people who wanted little too do with her job. I, of course, had my headphones on, blocking out everything and everyone for most of the 1 hour and 43 minutes I was running. Most of the time, I am not a social runner.
	Showing a little more stress, it was important to get to the end of this. Notice I'm soaked to the bone and the track is covered in water. For the complete story, go to the blog entry.
	Here comes Sir Phil, my running buddy I shamelessly left behind at about mile 5. Don't feel bad for him, he did the same for me during our last Wild Wild West adventure.
	Oh, Sir Phil, you should have worn a hat. Yes, yes you should've. Notice the girl laughing at Sir Phil. This happens a lot.
	And notice she gets the last laugh as she passes him in the home stretch.
	"Hey, Sir Phil, are you going to celebrate by going to Disneyland?" "Nope, bourbon and Coke."
	Obviously, Sir Phil has finished and is sporting his finisher's medal. He's going back to help run in a friend. I, on the other hand, was content to eat bagels and wonder if I would ever breath normally again.
	Sir Phil helps a friend run in and thus finishes the race for the second time. He stole another medal, I saw him. I think he said something about selling it on Ebay.
	This is the guy who I shamelessly passed in the last quarter mile when he did not realize he had to make a lap around the track. I think he hates me.
	One of less successful attempts to get a picture of my time. Here is a better try from the 2003 Wild Wild West Marathon.
	Self-portrait of my finishing medal. My number ended up askew, like me in general.
