This blog post is for triathlon spectators that want to make signs to encourage the people they know in a triathlon. It is a collection of signs that people have felt encouraged by.
I'm putting this post up because the athletes are undergoing a great deal of stress during the race. Spectators want to encourage the athletes the best way they can. This is a list of sign possibilities to help encourage triathlon participants.
First...Here is a list of things NOT to say as a spectator:
-"You're looking good!" - The athlete knows how many times they've spat, drooled, and thrown up on themselves. You don't.
-"Good job!"
-"Just one more hill!"
-"Keep going, the finish line is just up this hill and around the bend!"
-"You think it's bad now? Wait until TOMORROW!!!"
-“If you’re not back here in 25 minutes, I’m leaving without you and you can walk home!!”
-"Just 25.5 miles to go!"
-"Halfway There!"
-"This is not Mile 26."
Now onto the good stuff:
-"Go Daddy (or Mommy) Go" -probably the most encouraging sign a parent could read.
-"You just got chicked by my daughter!"
-"You Inspire Me!"
-"Yes, it is all worth it"
-"DIG DEEPER."
-"Pain is temporary, ironman is permanent"
-"Pain never hurts as much as quitting"
-"Pain is weakness leaving the body!"
-"How bad do you want it?"
-"Don't let the family down!"
-"we don't run like that up here man, get moving".
-"Just don't poop yourself "
-"Chuck Norris Never Did an Ironman!"
-"Nice legs"
-“Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”
-"If it were easy it'd be called your mom."
-"Your feet hurt so bad because you're kicking so much @#*!"
-"If I'd listened to my body, I'd be on my couch eating cookies now."
-"Don't Suck"
-"Brakes are for wimps"
-"That's not sweat, that's your fat cells crying"
-"Remember: you paid money for this"
-"Run like you stole something"
-"I trained for 6 months to hold this sign!"
-"most people won't drive 26.2 miles today"
-"If your reading this, your not running"
-"You do marathons, how cute..."
-" I work to support his habit."
-"Concentrate on your bloody nipples to take your mind off the agony in your legs!"
-"You run like you've had a bike seat up your rear-end for 3 hours!"
-"Just keep falling forward!"
-"the road to hell is paved with good intentions, get moving!"
-"You look hot when you sweat".
-"A Marathon is 26.2 miles because 26.3 would be CRAZY."
-"Follow me, I know a short cut. "
-"There are no athesists in the last 8 miles of an ironman"
-"My mom's in front of you and she's REALLY old!"
-"Keep moving forward"
-"Stop being a weenie it's just another hill!"
- "GO FAST DADDY, MOMMY WANTS TO GO TO HAWAII"
-"MAKE IT HURT! (that's what she said!)"
-"I didn't wake up this early to watch you walk!"
-"Suck it up Buttercup "
-"DON'T DIE!"
-"Better you than me"
-"Unless you are going to win, it ain't worth peeing yourself"
-"Remember, God can see you Drafting!"
-"MOVE YOUR BUTT , KICK OFF IS AT NOON!"
-"You're Still Wearing your Helmet!"
-"You're All Kenyans to Me!"
-"It's OK to puke"
-"Your workout is my warm up"
-"Only a triathlete would call a bottle of sugar water their 'Nutrition' "
-"Stick with marathons. They're easier."
-"I'll bet this sounded like an awesome idea 10 months ago!"
-"You Are Not Here To Make Friends Today!!!"
-"Worst parade ever"
- "Getting up early to make this sign wasn't easy either."
