Master  1210   Saskatchewan |  Subject: ideas for race-day cheer signsHere's the story: I'm not gonna be able to race my A race of the season , my first HIM (the mighty Morden Cornman), because I idiotically broke my big toe (in two spots even). Wah, I know. Anyway, I'm still going to the race to cheer on some fellow BTers and get the lay of the land for next time. I need some ideas just in case I may want to make some signs to "Suck it up, buttercup" is all I got so far. |

Master 1563  Chicago | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs I would be willing to bet you got the "Suck it up buttercup" from a fellow BTer, no? Anyways, for IM Madison, I made a sign for my sister that read, SWIM STRONG BIKE HARD RUN FAST Then I put a bunch of stars and stuff on it, and it was one of the best ones I saw there... Just a thought! |

Royal(PITA) 14270  West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs get the family involved...my kids kept trying to make signs to cheer on mom for my first race. Too bad they used regular drawing paper and it was pouring so the signage never left the house. Use the log on names and yeah, bears infamous suck it up buttercup works real well for the hardest part of the run.  |

Veteran 1108 Perth, Oz | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs Suck it up buttercup is definitely my fav but a few that I also like are "Dry your eyes Princess" "If you have time to read this... you aren't going fast enough"

Master 1810 Morse Lake, Noblesville, Indiana | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs I'd probably do the race, or at a minimum the swim/bike. I broke my pinkie toe and the one next to it on my left foot a couple of weeks ago. A little tape, and it really doesn't hurt. I did OK with that on a race last weekend, about 1 1/2 weeks afterwards. I kicked a chair on accident. How about this for a sign: Edited by tjtryon 2007-07-11 6:00 AM |

Master 2299 New York | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs I saw a bunch of signs @ IMAZ that said "Love the pain." Gave me a boost every time I hit that part of the course. |

Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs I vote for the "next loop I'll be naked" for sure. Sunday I ran by some ladies holding a sign that said something like "Is that a banana in your speedo or are you just happy to see me?" It made me LOL. |

Champion 15211 Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs Don't remember where I saw it but one said "The end is near". Unfortunately, it was at the beginning of the run. I guess that made it pretty funny. |

Extreme Veteran 555 Land of living sighs | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs How about: "Run you fat b@st@rd! I've seen you run faster than that!" or "Did you tell your first wife where you are this time?"

I can't take credit for this one... found it in a fellow BTer's IM RR. This one is great. This can also work in reverse for those of us who are fat and unattractive: "Better ride/run fast, because I plan on being naked in an hour!"

Veteran 117 | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs While I was doing my Ironman death march, covered in a film of sunscreen, road grit, bugs, salt stains, boogers and power gel, staggering at 4 mph with my gray hair and varicose veins, a cutie spectator raised up a posterboard with the message "you are so hot." I had to laugh out loud. |

| Member 79 | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs Along the CDA bike course I saw one that said "it does not have to be fun to have fun" Which was pretty fitting on the 2nd lap. Or the girls at the run aid station slapping your butt was, well, it wasn't a sign but it made me smile when I really didn't feel like it. Edited by NJVT 2007-07-12 12:30 AM |

Ya know since I took it with MY camera and all!! LOL Great minds think alike though eh?? Very good choice sir, that one gets my vote every time. Of course, a secondary vote goes in for what it said on the back...here's a good one. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/show-album.asp?albumid=5359&photoid=34743 "YA WANNA?" |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: ideas for race-day cheer signs "Hurry! Everyone's gettin' nekkid at the finish line!" "You're doing a triathlon. That's hot." Stand at the 1 mile mark of the run. "1 down, only 12.1 more to go!"
