New user 34 |  Subject: Writing on your hands/forearms....I just had a few friends finish a marathon and one thing I had noticed is some of them had written something inspirational to themselves either on the back of their hands or their forearms. I was curious if any triathletes do this and if there is any rules against it? |

Member 125 alexandria, VA | Subject: RE: Writing on your hands/forearms.... i sort of do this - but for training rides/runs with complicated intervals where i wouldnt be able to remember them. this is mostly because i have a hard time remembering anything while i bike/run myself into the ground. but motivational quotes and stuff seems like a better use of ink on your arms. |

I didn't know if there was a rule due to the body markings. |

I concur - very cool. I've done similar with a good friend who's recently passed - I've written his badge# (he was a cop) under my race #, on tape on my aero's, etc ... hugely inspirational and really kept me going strong. |

OK, I know it's horrible & insentitive but I can't help asking--shouldn't she have added like a really small person or cancer-stricken pet or something for the last .2? |

Member 84 | Subject: RE: Writing on your hands/forearms.... I have a picture of my then 12 month old son sitting in my wife's lap having a bottle before bed taped to the top tube of my road bike - keeps me going on those long road rides when I feel worn out. My plan was to add another pic of him for each MS150 ride/triathlon I do (I'd be up to three, and my first tri is Aug. 22nd, which would be 4!), but for some reason, I like that single pic. It always reminds me of what's REALLY important, and that motivates me more than anything. Sorry to ramble on... |
