Not sure if this counts as a race picture but what the hey.
I'm in green, my real life teammate is in the polka dot. Kinda fun. Told him to catch up so we could do a photo op. Then a lap later my sprint time disappeared and turned into 142 seconds. No green.

BF 1,2,3 here.
Photo by CDR. I wonder if there's ever been an all-BF podium.

You can see that lead weight bolted to his BB (prior picture) to make the weight they were not checking. But for the Ethics thread - he was spot on...
The photog - Kristof Mellemans - did a great job. I can't see he is selling pictures, so I liked his Facebook page. There are about 5 shots of my kid and 251 of that race.
Morning TT shot. Not a good fit for him on this bike. Looks like suffering.

No restrictions. He is not wearing his TT helmet and not on his TT bike, and not wearing a HR monitor and no power meter.

This must've been in the last 10 laps of the Walnut Hill 1/2/3s, that was when the body was failing and my pain face was in full regalia (white helmet, left hand side of image, I think CDR took this?)

I only took the last few laps of the race so it was either 3 to go or 2 to go.
The M45 overall winner did 93 miles at Walnut Hill, with warmups and the two races. His son raced Jrs and 5s? so he was rolling with him a bit as well.
I did an hour and a few minutes, that's enough for me.

Yeah, I was at 80 on the nose without a cooldown. I couldn't pedal or walk immediately after crossing the finish and bonked while packing up my car...

Mid suicide non bridge, between the break and the pack, without enough laps left to catch the break. This was significant suffering, close to a 4 minute power PR at the very end of an 0.88 IF race. Photo by CDR.

^ of all the people with a low position you really have a low position. I wouldn't be able to breathe in that position.
