Auckland photos are finally up! Our friend Lisa, who also put us up for the weekend, came to the course on Sunday as our professional photographer. With around 250 photos to go through, compared to the approximate 15-20 that the Tough Mudder photographers took (I'm not even going to start talking about the price to get them!!), it's 100 times better to bring along a spectator to take photos of the event.
You know what, I am going to have a rant about the Tough Mudder photos they have on offer. Don't get me wrong, I love my Tough Mudders, but this is ridiculous. I had about 20 photos that I found on the Mudder photo site, total for both days I ran. There was a couple really good ones that I would like to get digital copies to put up here on my blog, so I clicked the few that I wanted.
$29.95 for a single digital copy of a photo. Let's just take a second to let that sink in.
30 dollars for a single, digital copy of a photo. What. The. Hell?
Or 70 dollars if you want to download all your images (note: all images means from 1 day, so if you ran both days, thats $140 for all images).
This is ridiculous. We are all paying upwards of $100 per Tough Mudder (usually closer to $200), and they expect us to pay these prices for photos? I feel with the huge ticket price, any photos taken on course should be free to download. I know I can't be alone in thinking this...

So for any future Mudder's out there reading this, a word of advice - if you want some photo memories, bring along a spectator!
