I thought it would be fun if in our various travels and exploits if we could share a single photo that you feel captures a place that you have trained or raced. Editing your experience to the one photo is the goal. We have a photo area on trifuel, but it'd be cool to use this thread as a kind of "1 photo RR", if you will.
You don't have to be in it. Or maybe you are. But it's somewhere you've been for racing or training.
This thread is not looking for a RR to accompany the photo. Do that in a new thread. Just give a terse description of what you did there; where it is; and, if you feel it is important, what you took the photo with.
"Good" photographers or crappy cellphone shooters or anyone in between welcome.
Over time, we'd have a thread with cool places and experiences (tropics, ice storms, city, suburbia or out in the sticks).

I can't figure out how to insert a picture without using a file attachment. How do you do it?

I spent about 9 months in the South China Sea off the coast of Brunei on this thing. Lots of miles racked up on the treadmill and stationary bike in the gym. Not the "nicest" place to train, but the combination of spending 24 hours a day on it and supervising 2 others working back to back 12-hour shifts netted me lots and lots of time to spend working out. So probably my "best" place to train...

Here are some photos of the bike trail that I bike on often. It is a 34k crushed gravel trail that runs along the edge of one of the great lakes. It used to be an old railroad bed but now it is used mostly as a walking/running/biking trail.

For an orig img size of 1200x900, use the "img =" tag to make it half the size: img=600x450 ; I've left the brackets out.
You need to know the original img size so that you make the scaled image proportional. You can look at my photo post's img code using the quote button to see how the sizing tag syntax works.

It wasn't 9 months straight, more like 4 weeks on the rig, then a coupe days off, and back for another 4-5 weeks. We weren't allowed to swim due to safety concerns, which is a shame because the dolphins seemed to really be enjoying the clear, 82 deg water.

Life is good. Part of the problem is that we just got a new keyboard and for some reason the characters aren't recognized so I had to actually copy your code to get it to work. But it works now, thanks.

Yep, this pic is before I found my Chi (running). Notice the hideous heel strike as well! And the fact that my arms used to cross all the way across my body with every stride. Still, terrible technique aside, it was a lovely run, complete with a herd of sheep, a local tweedy shepherd with a crook and his border collies.
Soooo.. I was in Cancun,
Soooo.. I was in Cancun, Holbox, Playa del Carmen, for the last 19 days and this was my lap pool for the first week:

no, really, I did 2x30 minute swims each day, sometimes in the pool, ( Carlos had coco locos waiting at the water aid station :D
sometimes in the ocean, as at Holbox. Picture me smiling..
