    Dev is looking for photos of Boards folk doing "Boards stuff" that they can print out and put up in the office (I assume he wants to scare away potential hostile takeovers) and he specifically mentioned athletics.

    I know that there are some really good photos of people in the BAC singlet, any chance someone could round up a few of the best? Robin, you probably took a lot of them, if you could link to them in the Mod forum that'd be cool :)

    Thanks for pointing that one out, I'd have missed it otherwise.

    So far it's mostly only Woddle in his singlet that we have as yet, although there are plenty of the rest of us not wearing team colours in various events. Hopefully we should get some in team colours this weekend though from Cork if anyone else is out with their cameras. I think I'll take my small one along though to see if I can get some after I've finished my legs.

    Thanks for that.

    There are not many BAC wearing pictures so far, so if there are more pictures out there that I don't yet know about then do add them to this thread please.

    Just to add to the now growing collection of pictures of Boards AC singlets spotted out in the wild, here is Team WORE/ Boards A from the Cork Relay as taken by blind_hurler with Woddles camera:

    I took the Boards AC singlet out for another run in Bristol yesterday, and it managed to help me knock even more time off my 10k time: :D

    normal_DSC_0107.jpg

    I got my time down to 38:33 now, and yesterdays race was on a fairly hilly course as well. I finished in 8th overall as well.

    I couldn't finds any cheerleaders like after Cork, but did manage to get a rub down from some first year physo students from the local uni who were around afterwards: :D:D

    If this trend continues with the calibre of photos presented by robinph - surely mods will have to consider moving to After Hours or other more suitable place??

    Directly below where this shot was taken last week by just a bit less than 15,000ft...

    ...I today took the Boards AC vest out for a 10k race near Queenstown:

    I challenge anyone else to get a Boards AC race picture any further away from Ireland. :D

    First "international" finisher and 4th place overall and new PB make for a happy robinph. The first picture was at half way and the guy in black had just gone past me on that downhill after him being on my heels for a couple of km's:

    4699429960_266979bbfe.jpg

    I managed to stick to his heels for a while, but then lost about 20 meters to him over the last kma and a bit:

    After crossing the line I then collapsed in a heap which slightly concerned the finish line marshals, but I was happy as that meant I'd given it everything I had.

    Courtesy of Woddle: The one photo from Saturday's Boards relay win in which I don't look like my 198 bpm heart rate suggests I should be looking:
