You know them from T-shirts, forums and tattoos, these funny one-liners and slogans.
What’s the best or funniest one you saw ?
I’ve got two :
“For some sports you need a ball, for triathlon you need two !”
or
“Winners train, losers complane”
“How about a different kind of threesome?”
.
Swim like your gonna drown, Ride like you stole it and Run like they are chasing you.
I saw a tee shirt in Austin at Austin Tri Cyclists that I thought was pretty funny.
It had a cartoon drawing of a guy obviously out on a dinner date with a woman. The woman is burying her head in her arms on the table as the guy is saying something along the lines of…“Did I mention that I do triathlons?”
“For some sports you need a ball, for triathlon you need two !”
Maybe that’s why Lance keeps saying he won’t do an Ironman…
‘Shaved and Tapered’ gotta be my favorite.
I’ve also always liked ‘Wetsuit Strippers’
not really triathlon related but I still think its one of the best quotes in history.
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
Triathlon just means I’m not very good at three different sports.
If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, then triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise.
As an athlete, I am ever so grateful that Gatorade was invented at the University of Florida. If Florida State had discovered it, I’d be drinking “Seminole Fluid.”
“Swim, Bike, Run, Drink…My Stregnth is the 4th Discipline!”
.
Only a triathlete would call a bottle of sugar water their “Nutrition”
.
on the t-shirts in zurich i saw this weekend:
life is simple swim, bike, run , eat , sleep.
“Triathlon - It’s not about finding your limits. It’s about finding out what lies just beyond them.”
Two from the Ironman broadcast:
“There are really just two kinds of people. Those who say I can’t. And those who say I can.”
“A 2.4 mile swim, 112 on the bike and then a marathon. The man who started this said, ‘You can quit and they won’t care, but you will always know.’ This is the Ironman.”
BTW Rokko… Florida State did invent Gatorade!!
My wife (a non athlete) has a T shirt that says, “I don’t do triathlons, I do a triathlete.”
.
That was funny as hell, just about choked on my sandwich.
BTW - Florida State did not invent Gatorade as mentioned just above in a post. It was indeed the University of Florida Gators. Hence - Gatorade.
“Please help me learn how to pee in my shorts!”
.
I saw a few girls at the post race IM FLA party last year with shirts that said…“My friend did a threesome in Florida and all I got was this t-shirt.”
.
“Screw this, I’'m sticking with marathons. They’re easier.”
Overheard at the finish of the 1995 West Point (N.Y.) Triathlon.
“You do Marathons, how cute”
.
“You do Marathons, how cute”
I want a shirt with that on it to wear around my running friends 
.
Although Coach Johnson came up with the idea, the research was done at UF, which is why it’s called Gatorade. The original formula was basically reconstituted sweat, which is why original Gatorade was (and the current stuff still is) pretty high in sodium.
The original stuff tasted great after a few hours of hard exercise on a hot afternoon, but tasted like you squeezed it out of the crotch of your gym shorts if you drank it over ice when you weren’t at least partially dehydrated.
