The wordy recap of the weekend.
 |
| Me with the "Start Dude" |
 |
| Me skipping towards Teh Parents |
 |
| Miss Reflective, Danielle, Teh Megan |
 |
| We decided to put our numbers on our backs so we could get properly colored. |
 |
| The Color Ninjas! |
 |
| This lady was holding the wave boundary. She was very tricky. |
 |
| They were DJing and throwing free stuffs to us and generally getting us amped up. |
 |
| Before heading into my first color zone. |
 |
| After the 1st color zone - red. |
 |
| Easiest way to get me lost? Tack a -95 on the end of any road name that I need to take while I'm driving in DC. |
 |
| After the 2nd color station - yellow! |
 |
| Going into the orange color zone. |
 |
| And after the orange color zone. |
 |
| Coming up to the final color zone - blue. |
 |
| I twirled through the blue zone... :) |
 |
| Almost to the end! |
 |
| I found Teh Parents! |
 |
| WOOO!!! COLOR RUN!!!!! |
 |
| The end!!! I look like I got barely colored at all, but you can definitely see the sweat marks. |
 |
| Standing at the finish line giving high fives and waiting for the others. |
 |
| Miss Reflective finishes! |
 |
| Danielle finishes! |
 |
| The color "after party" |
 |
| The cloud of color from a color toss. |
 |
| After my first few color tosses. |
 |
| YEAH! |
 |
| Chevy was a sponsor, but this car was pretty awesome. |
 |
| Colored Runners! |
 |
| We had to get a photo with both sides of the sign since it was cool. |
 |
| Beware! |
 |
| Re-finishing the race! |
 |
| I made it!!! |
 |
| Not sure who this crazy person is, but they were obviously having a blast as well. |
 |
| Me with 2 of the orange zone volunteers... I've now seen that Smurfs have cousins.. They are orange and yellow and red! |
 |
| Wooo! |
 |
| Me trying to open my color packet. |
 |
| Miss Reflective said that she had people rolling on the ground to get more color. I said that my butt needed more color! |
 |
| Best photo bomb of the run! |
 |
| Teh Wind Jammas! |
 |
| Another color toss. |
 |
| All the packets. We were forming a conga line, so you could actually see the ground! |
 |
| Danielle exploded her color packet in my face, in my mouth, up my nose.. EVERYWHERE. |
 |
| Miss Reflective got a little color as well. |
 |
| :D |
 |
| This girl had perfect colors! We also saw a girl in her wedding dress. |
 |
| We did it! |
 |
| Trying to get a jump photo. |
 |
| Again. |
 |
| The final try. The dude who had 2 DSLRs , one with a huge telegraphic lens was a fail. :( |
 |
| My "tan line" and orange spot. |
 |
| The final product. |
 |
| Danielle's final product. |
 |
| I Color Ran!!!!! |
 |
| Most people had left by this point, but this was the parking lot where the after party was. |
 |
| Teh Stepmom said my lips were green, so I wiped them off, but this part didn't come off. Teh Bear said he didn't want these kisses. |
 |
| After wiping my face off a bit. |
 |
| Miss Reflective's rainbow eyebrow. |
 |
| It was a B.E.A.U.T.iful day! |
 |
| Seriously. Photos like this make photoshop irrelevant. |
 |
| The Krispy Kreme that killed my hopes. |
 |
| Doughnuts that I should have gotten.. Instead I got the ones below.. FAIL. |
 |
| Even Teh Dad got some color! Some kids were playing with the color and he got some! |
 |
| Hulk Boobies! |
These pics & your description post make me so excited for my own Color Run soon! I'm sure I will be one of those annoyingly so people and my friends will have to leave me also. Can I ask if you did anything special for your phone to keep it clean while taking pictures?
ReplyDeleteActually, my method of keeping my phone safe was leaving it with Teh Parents. I did have a ziplock baggie for my camera which I didn't really use honestly. I saw lots of people with their phone unprotected (including Miss Reflective) and its just powder. You can actually blow it right off (like with a hair dryer). I saw people with their stuff wrapped in saran wrap as well, but I don't really think its necessary unless you're getting wet.
DeleteWe also wore bandannas, which by the end, I wasn't even bothering with. I saw a post where someone had powder all over their teeth, but I really feel like the kid probably hadn't brushed his teeth that morning, so yes, the powder stuck to his nasty teeth. I got blasted in the face and didn't have green teeth (except for in the immediate moments after before it could dissolve/be licked off).
I really wanted to do the color run here, but missed the sign up... It looks lik eyou had a blast!!
