Goofy Occupations on Entry
Quote | Reply
Most IM entry forms have you put down an occupation. Checking a participant list can be quite humorous. I never realized that so many porn stars competed in triathlon. ;-)

Why do people do this?

What are the funniest ones you've seen?

Eric,

I saw that Jeff Tenniswood is a turnip farmer.

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to chat more after Muskoka...you had an awesome race. Please share your training secrets.

Cheers,

Matt Thibodeau

I did this in my first IM - Miracle Worker. I just didn't understand why the question was there (still don't).

It was a rough race - flatted twice and snapped a chain. Then, I bonked hard on the run and walked the last half of the marathon. On the video tape, I noticed that you can hear the announcer say "Here he comes - he's a miracle worker." ...sort of fit the day because I thought there was no way in hell I was going to finish on so many occasions.

They announce your name, city, state, and occupation as you croos the finish line. Even my wife never knew I was a secret agent until they blew my cover at IMFL.

I put 'pink' as my first name and 'boy' as my surname, but race organizes source out my real name and replace it, but put 'pinkboy' in brackets. Here at IM Australia, one guy also goes under the name 'Pepsi Macks' from Qatar!



pinkboy

In the power never given to me in the name of slowman, king high ruler and Grand Hunky Poo Ba of the blessed land of Slowtwitchia I dub thee "Sir pinkboy the Awsomator" This honor is given to thee for the reason of being not only freakin' awsome but totally sweet. By the use of the color Pink to fly your freak flag and bring smiles to frowny faces. *Mr. Tibbs*
