Why do race photos look so shitty?

I have found a couple pics of me from my first few runs on Chris Otto's page on smugmug.com, but I look like ASS.

Why is running such an ugly sport and why do they always catch me looking like a pus-sized retard?

Actually, if that's you in the red shorts...that's hysterical! You look like you're sprinting to the finish.

I would TOTALLY get out of your way.
