Flick your hair back.... lovely,.... lovely... and pout

I had an early closure at school today, 'teacher training day' or something, just an ordinary half day for me... but... when I got back I had to get changed into my triathlon clothing and pose with my equipment for a photographer to take photos. I believe they are doing a piece about me in a couple of Saturdays time  in the 'Youth Scene' supplement of the Cambridge News. It may also appear in the St Neots News & Crier as well.
In the car on the way back from school it was bright and sunny, perfect for the photos, anyway, lighting was not my worry, that was the photographers problem, Warren (who was very good by the way he made it a painless experience and didn't once tell me to flick my hair back or pout!). 
I was wondering where a good location would be for the photos. My dad had an idea of doing 'the shoot', 200m down the road in a nice country side landscape (ish). The pro piccy taker agreed.

He wanted to get a few 'pro snaps' of me with my kayak,bike etc, posing, running and stuff.
When I was posing I felt a bit weird because I have never really stood in front of a professional photographers camera before without them shouting 'get out of the way, your ruining the shot' 
As you are probably aware, often in these cases their is an embargo on the release date of very sensitive and important information, I'm not completely sure if my experience falls into this category, but just in case, I suspect I have said to much already!.

Obviously in these photos I haven't shown you the good stuff, that would spoil it!!
