This is, pretty much, for Ang. Since she so flatteringly requested more pictures, and since my coach happened to snap one shortly after the finish of the race, I'm happy (and able) to oblige.
It's only natural to focus on the really excited bloke in the middle, that's me, because i won...but peel your eyes away from that to the face of the swimmer in the lane at the bottom of the picture...and look, for a moment, at the expression of despair and great sadness. That's the REALLY satisfying part of the picture...for me at least.

The ecstasy of victory and the agony of the feetI mean defeat! The savoring of the palatable moment. Ang, I know, youre disappointed its not the speedos pic you wanted, but it is a the climatic moment. ;) Congratulations again Slakker! Nice shot!

Congratulations again, Slakker! and ROTFL at your sensitive empathy with the agony of defeat.

Lol... Way to go Slakker!!!! That poor devil at the bottom of the picture sure does have a looming defeated look on his face though. lol
There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.
A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

The guy at the bottom actually thought he was in a water aerobics class...you can't quite tell because of the angle but he is drooling on himself as he looks up in wonderment at what all the excitement is going on around him.
