Honorable Mention! Tracy Thelon submitted this photo saying, "This was my costume for the 6th annual Indian Creek 55k. I am dressed as the dancing lady Silverheels from South Park/Fairplay legends. You can’t see the silver on the back of my gaiters in this photo! And yes, I ran the entire 55k in the costume, veil and fishnets included."

Taylor currently lives in Dallas, Texas, which is also where she grew up and where she attended the University of North Texas receiving her degree in History. While in college she started doing freelance work editing and writing, and also got into graphic design and discovered she loves the creativity and craft of digital arts. After college she traveled quite a bit, and lived in both the Pacific Northwest and in New Mexico, and while in both of those places took full advantage of what the outdoors had to offer.
