Also:
- Clench your quads so hard that your vision starts to red out and you are at risk of spontaneous pooping. Be sure to sustain the clench until you are certain that all possible photographs have been taken.
- If the podium heights are unclear, or if you are in California where they line up a half dozen guys on either side of the podium to make sure everyone gets a pony, hold up a number of fingers to represent your placing. In California, or if your day job is framing carpentry, this may require two hands. This is an exception to the "one hand" rule above.
- If you don't have a buddy or significant other there, give your phone to one of the other podium guys' girlfriend and tell her to take at least a dozen shots to make sure at least one is in focus. Make the other podium guys wait until you check over the photos and post them to instagram and your team tumblr, in case you were blinking or the girlfriend took a video by mistake.
