Spectator signs

I'm bored, but I thought I'd share:
My friend has been training really hard for a series of Olympic distance races, while most of us are training for an IM. She keeps saying "I'm JUST doing an Olympic.' And it has become a running joke. So her and another teammate are coming up to Whistler and one of the signs they want to make says this on the front: Ironman, it's just an Olympic..." On the back: "Only longer."

If I see that on race day it will just make me smile, since it's been such an ongoing inside joke. I hoe they do it!

That is cute! I need to make up some signs for Mr. GT this year cause I'll actually get to watch him finish his marathon since I'm only doing the half.

My favorite recent tri sign said, "You think this is hard? Try growing out bangs!" I actually giggled.

I love spectator signs! Not like I've ever run something long enough to require them, but in theory...

My oly is on Eliza's 3rd birthday so she'll have a sign that says "Today's my birthday and all my mommy got me was this finisher's medal" I think I might make her another that says "It's my birthday and I'll tri if I want to"

One of my favorites was 'this way to beer'. Another one someone gave me to hold when they were leaving said "You're the sh*t!" with the actual * for the i. It was a womans race so when the youngin's came through (ie, 8-12yr), I flipped it over and just cheered. I had finished the 5 miler and they were coming in from the 1/2. Good times.

Signs are the best.
