You can change your last name to "SeisNueve" though not nearly as cool as "OchoCinco".

love it!
I had #222 at my first tri of the season this year and guess what? I got second place overall! Too bad I didn't have #111.

Sometimes you've just got to laugh it off. I got number 8008 in a tri once. This was a small race. Don't know why they used such big numbers. I didn't think anything about it until after I was body-marked. It looked like BOOB on my arms.

I was 21 at a race earlier this year.  I got a "winner, winner, chicken dinner" from the body marker.  Oddly enough I finished 21st overall that race.

I always hope for the #13 some where in my race number - or that my numbers add up to 13. I was #13 for all sports I played.  
really would be good to be racing on the 13th with #13

but a number is a number

I like getting "special" numbers.  I was #37 for a race and that was my age. Kind of confused me for a second actually.

My Point Of Sale number, used when I purchase a lunch from where I work, is 69. I feel I've been blessed. I mention my number whenever I get the opportunity.

My first Tri I was 219, and i said to my buddy, not so quietly: "hey look you get your age on your leg and your weight on your arms. I weigh about 219. The young lady standing next to me in line with the 185ish # wasn't amused.

I just laughed with them, and explained a hundred times why I had 69 on my legs and arms!


My explanation would not once involve the word "Triathlon" or "Race".

I would have the race number framed and hanging on the wall afterwards.  That's funny.  Just make sure you have some good one-liners ready to go ahead of the race.

I would love to have 556.  I would accidentally put a decimal point in to make it 5.56.

Any former military recognize it?

And then tell them when they put the body markings on that you are Male and 16.

Not Military but Military brat, plus gun lover.
