I'm thinking of preparing small index-card like handouts for Triathlon on the Mira on Sunday to put in each race kit. We're not doing medals so it's a cheap way to give people a take away from the race. I know rev3 did/does something similar, things like "Best of luck" or "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you". Stupid shit that people will eat up

What are some that you think would apply? Any and all appreciated. "eat a dick" will definitely be posted on a few cards as well.

    Saw this on someone’s TT bike at last years TdF. “Take the risk or lose the chance”. Suggest putting that on every other card and see how many epic blowups occur. Any how the rider had a chance but failed to make a splash. Can’t recall who it was.

    My mother has a t-shirt she wears at every IM I do. "You'll never finish." She says it's reverse psychology but I'm not so sure.

    I’d be afraid to do a race with @HSeeley14. Instead of high fives she’d give you a wedgie and kick you in the ass to get you running faster. Kinda scared to do GWN 2019 with her

    Untrue, DNFers are the warmup act at the beer tent. Sworry.

    Hrm, seems that I'm the only tri-rooster that's on this forum while at work...this kind of blew up overnight.

    I'm thinking of just using quotes from the office to make it easier

    "If I had a gun with two bullets and was trapped in a room with a swimmer, a cyclist and a runner I would shoot the swimmer twice"

    Or the swimmer version of this:
    ""If I had a gun with two bullets and was trapped in a room with a two triathletes, I would use one bullet to try to destroy their stupid pace beeper things, then threaten to shoot the first one that mentioned using a GPS watch in the pool."

    Since @HSeeley14 and @Craig D are faster than me, can I get a guarantee that Craig will give me a beer handup at the finish while Heather cusses me out ? I'm not confirmed yet, but these would be dealbreakers.

    Should we have an east/west/central "official" race. It's cheaper for me to race in Europe than it is to race in Penticton

    The GWN is just outside of Edmonton. If you make a vacation out of it you could hit the ITU race as well. I can accommodate a few in my home and in my travel trailer in the back yard to make it cheap.

    I like the idea of a couple of Team Canada team designated races. I’ll be soliciting feedback from Canadians in the fall. I’ll add it to the list.

    Yeah so I didn't end up doing these but it's in my back pocket for next year.

    We literally finished stuffing race kits at 5:00 when kit pick up was at 5:30...couldn't set up transition the night before because of some leftover cars in a parking lot so it was a 4:00 am start.

    My crew absolutely nailed it and I can't thank them enough. Very few incidents were visible on the athlete side of things and apart from a few people taking spills on the bike everyone had a very safe event.

    I plan on doing a long form post...maybe even a blog...about the whole "how to be a race director" experience. Lots of people came up to me with words like, "don't you wish you were racing" and I just told them that Triathlon isn't about the times, awards, cool swag, medals or placings, it's about community, camaraderie and memories. At the end of the day memories and shared experiences with our loved ones is really all we have in this world and triathlon really brings out the best in people with regards to that.

    We had so many first time triathletes today (probably 35-40 out of 141) and to facilitate and provide a platform for them to achieve their goals was a truly humbling experience. It's a day they'll never forget, much like my first triathlon was
