How to take the perfect race photo in 5 easy steps

You run a race. No family members were there to take your pic and you didn’t snap any selfies, so you eagerly await the race photos. Only to find they caught you with your eyes closed. What does it take to get a perfect race photo?

Well, I’ve got the secret to taking THE best race photos and it takes just five easy steps.

Steps to a Perfect Race Photo

Step 1

Spot race photographer ahead. Move into a position away from other runners.

Step 2

Look at directly at the race photographer as you approach.

Step 3

Smile ridiculously big. And keep smiling.

Step 4

As you approach wave and keep smiling. Let out a little "Woot! Woot" to let the photographer know you're really excited to be racing AND have your picture taken.

Step 5

Switch from a wave to pumping your fist in the air (Hello instant muscles?! Where have you been all these years??), all while maintaining eye contact and that ridiculously big smile.
