Race Faces

Paul Doran captured some outstanding "Race Faces" at this weekends past CCCX Cross race. I speak with Paul Doran at many of the Road events I compete in, and he is always friendly and positive to me. He always seems to get a quality shot of myself, and I am thankful to him for filming all the events he has in the past. Doran produces outstanding film work and at the past CCCX race he put the freeze frame on many riders putting out their best efforts leading to some great "Race Faces". Some riders are super focused and completely absorbed in the task at hand. They show no sign of pain or duress, just a look of concentration and drive. While other riders bring the pain and suffering of the event to life in their expressions. The determination and desire they are put forth is evident from the fire in their eyes and the fight that is reflected on their face.

Doran was there to capture both- here are some great "Race Faces" of Nor-Cal Cross competitors.

Here is Doran's complete work-http://www.flickr.com/photos/vicarioussojourn/sets/

Graham Watson once lamented how all the pros now wear glasses meaning you can't get those great game faces - a lot of cyclocrosssers don't wear glasses and sure makes for great pictures. Dave
