Need help with my triathlete Halloween costume

Triathlon Forum

Here’s my plan so far. What am I missing?

From the bottom up:

Newtons
Compression socks
Fake M-Dot Tattoo
Tri Shorts
Fuelt Belt w/ race number and lots of little bottles
Tri Jersey
Heart Rate Monitor Strap peeking through unzipped jersey
Road ID
Garmin 310xt
Race number on arm
Aero helmet w/ visor

Goggles around the neck?
Fake yellow stains running down leg?

I feel like there are other essential items, but I’m drawing a blank. I hope this doesn’t hit too close to home for those of you for whom this is everyday attire.

Arm coolers?
Finisher medal?

3

Yellow stains? Try brown, and be authentic…

4

Stuff GU’s and clif bars everywhere.
Add an extra running watch for good measure, same arm if possible.

5

fake syringe taped to your ass? zing

6

Just dress up like you always do when you go out to train.

7

Carry around a bucket and tie a balloon to it.

8

Wear a wetsuit, goggles and cap for the first third of the party/day - then strip down in front of all to reveal the costume mentioned.

that’s funny.

10

Livestrong bracelet. And a couple of other various charities.

All of this.

Then, put on fins, hold up a dozen medals, and take a photo.

You’re FinMan.

An enabler.

Well, if you’re “Finman”, you’ll need your fins!! :slight_smile:

I thought about doing a Halloween themed triathlon a few years ago as “Compresso Man”. Compression garments from head to toe. But in the end I didn’t.

ETA: … and practice the grimace.

16

Partner in a gorilla costume?

17

I hope you’re going to a party with other triathletes, otherwise everyone will just think you’re a psychotic idiot.

18

Wear a swim cap under your helmet; put sponges on your shoulders & behind your neck or in your armpits; and carry a bike pump or a transition bag.

19

I didn’t think we had to wear a costume. It’s the only thing we have to talk about and everyone will know what you are within seconds of walking up to you. /pink /sortof

A laptop so that you can spend most of your time on Slowtwitch.
