This was just before the contest, I was waiting for an hour against the wall. My legs were nearly broken, it was heavy and I was hot and had to keep my knees locked yet be at an odd angle. Easier to keep walking than to stay still to wait. But worth it: I was one of the 5 top winners of a computer!! 85 entries.
I like this picture because it really does show how tall I was (8'6").
