Champion 34263   Chicago | Subject: RE: What is your favorite "tri-related quote"? ``You can't change the course and you can't change the conditions. Just because it's cold or hilly or hard or rainy or humid or whatever, doesn't mean you're NOT going to go out and get it done. Because you are...because that's what triathletes do.'' -- RunningJayHawk (as quoted by Aidana aka I-Donna aka Scooter) |

Expert 1070 Denver Area | Subject: RE: What is your favorite "tri-related quote"? "Sea level is for sissies." (applicable to tri) "Train like you race, 'cause you race like you train." (somewhere/one on BT) "DFL > DNF > DNS" (trademarked, fr. BT-er siggy, too) "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." (also from a BT-er siggy)
ALL of these I have used as a mantra in training at some point or other. :D Thanks BT! |

Extreme Veteran 401 Texas | Subject: RE: What is your favorite "tri-related quote"? "Younger, stronger, faster. And I train while you sleep." -actually from a British rowing shirt, but I like it for tri's Also from a post a number of years back with some interesting ads that is my wallpaper, it's a picture of a woman on her knees puking and the byline says "In a triathlon, victory and defeat often taste the same." I think it's endurance sports or 3 sport. They had a bunch of great ads. |
