    In race photos

    Sorry about the watermarks in the photos, but I'm not going to spend $16 per photo for a digital copy, so here are some pictures of my son and I in our kilts during a 10k in Clearwater Florida.

    Doing a half marathon in about a month, hopefully those photos won't be so expensive.

    Looking good guys! Nick, congrats on your running abilities, it`s been a long time since I could run that far and now that I`ve had a hip replaced I have a good medical excuse not to!

    Good pictures and a beautiful site for a race. Which of you finished first? I think I recognize that bridge. Did 4 IM 70.3's there 2006 to 2010.

    My wife finished first, my son finished second and I came in last, but all that matters is that I finished faster than I expected That's the Memorial Causeway Bridge in Clearwater.

    Congrats on the 10k! Impressive! That's beyond my abilities at this point. That rate for the race photos seems pretty standard, but the quality seems pretty good. I did a 5k in my SportKilt last fall... and I bought one of the photos. Here's a scaled down version:

    The "side strapped" sporran in the photo interested me. Was it a bother for your son's run? I don't see one on you (unless hidden by your t-shirt.) Good job and congratulations on a successful trek.
