Triathlon Practical Jokes (Page 2)

You all have some wicked minds.
Love this one too. I would leave at least a few nuts and bolts.

I like to pull practical jokes on myself. One time I couldn't find my bike in T1 because I turned into the transition left instead of right (the swim entrance was opposite the bike entrance and I got confused)- that was funny. Another time leaving T1 I hit a pot hole and both my gatorade filled water bottle shoot out of my rear water bottle holder (that was a long thirsty ride to mile 17). Another time on a training run I accidently ran the same route of a race that was going on (I was running a 10 miler - the race was a 5K) I couldn't figure out why there were so many people on the side of the road that were yelling good job, keep it up - well I figured out after about 5K when I saw the finish line and I was like, oh well that explains it.

As everyone is waiting to start the swim, glue as many alien antennas to as many bike helmets as possible.

Switch bikes on racks

Switch bike numbers on bikes

Close off the T area with yellow police tape

Wrap toilet paper all over every bike you can before they get out of the water.

Draw a human body outline with white chalk at different place in the T area

Just as the race director is counting down the start the race on 2, yell out "WAIT!, HOLD IT!! NOBODY MOVE!!" with your own megaphone, then drop it and jump in the water first

As someone pass you in the swim, hold on to their ankles, let go, then hold on again, let go, hold on.........

During warm up, pretent you are being eaten by something under water and break open a water balloon filled with red ink.

No no no... remember.. I raced about an hour and a half behind where Dave Scott was racing..

He was at River Cities in Shreveport, LA.
Manatee Express, mkmbharris, mnewton, OldAg92, the bear, mnewton, waskelton, lynda, 10sToTri, Michael Pate, Christy and probably some others were there as well.

How's that for a practical joke.. Make you race against Dave Scott!!! LOL

Add a U-lock to your rival's bike.....

Ok Ok.. sorry.. What I ment to say.. was that Dave legged out the win and I had to settle for second place..

Dave Scott could beat me if he had to run the bike course and I got to ride Dave Scott..

This is funny! LMAO

I really like this one. Where are you racing next??

Hmmmm ... great question. If you wouldn't mind, we could just trade off passing each other. I think if we're going to be supportive, then by God let's be supportive!

Black shoe polish on the velcro of all bike shoes while everyone is in the water.

Swap wetsuits of the same models but different sizes in transition while everyone is on the bike or run.

addendum: walk around transition swapping race bibs on shirts and race belts when everyone is in the water or bike.

Isn't that what's in everyone's seat pack?

So it was YOU!!  I'll admit, those clown shoes were pretty cool. Maybe not to the people I passed on the run though....

I like that one. Yes, do that in Michigan, in a fresh water inland lake .

I was in a swim-run event today after work, and I did ask one lady was there any sea serpents in this lake (note, I was being funny, and sarcastic).

inspired by the "funniest thing you've seen in a tri" thread, i googled tri jokes and stumbled across this one. gave me a good laugh and brightened my night, so i figured i'd bring it back. 

Only 47? That's not nearly enough for a flat! It takes 365 condoms to make a Goodyear!
