I'm detailing my bike (training for my first IM in 2012).  I'm going to put a couple of bible verses on my bike.  Just a couple; don't want it to look like a crass billboard.  Suggestions?  My fav right now:

"Be truly glad.  There is wonderful joy ahead!" 1 Peter 1:6

There are so many good ones!

Isaiah 40:31 is a favorite of mine at the moment

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength

They will soar on wings like eagles.

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not grow faint. 

 

Phil 3:13,14 is good too

Forgetting what is behind straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

 

Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again Rejoice!

2 Cor 4:16-18. Too long to write out, To sum up, Dont lose heart, our current troubles are momentary, we will have eternal glory, fix your eyes on not what is seen but what is unseen.

 

They might be long to write them all out on your bike but they are good ones to have on your heart during the race! Good luck in your training and race!

My Dad wrote this verse one on one of my inspiration cards I carried with me on my Ironman run(s). It was very uplifting and appropriate, I love it.

Maybe a bit long but I really like Psalm 121 - especially when climbing hills.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains -- where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth"

"..but with God all things are possible"

I am living proof of this after going from six month horrible cancer battle to ironman. Truly only God could have arranged for this.

In the interest of brevity, I'm thinking these 2.  Although you've all given me much to consider! 

For in Him we live, and move and have our being.

1 Cor. 9:24

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

A couple more

Josh 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

1Thes 5:16,17

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Probably not what you are looking for, but during a disappointing race this weekend, I was hanging on to this one: "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Matt 20:16)
