Top 5 things NOT to say to your athlete on race morning:
- That water looks really cold. I bet you wish you had a wetsuit.
- Do carp have teeth?
- Wow, you're like the ONLY one here with a mountain bike.
- I've heard the hills are really bad and there's no shade at all.
- What are the distances again? That's it? Well, I can do thaaaat.

Due to the thunder we've canceled the swim and doubled the run.(worst case for me from a race promoter)
Wow! The rest of these people look really fit!
"dude i just sharted.....in my wetsuit. its going to be a messy T1."
"Can I borrow your body glide?"
"...do these trishorts make my butt look big?"
I'm sorry, but I can't find your registration form. Are you sure you signed up?
"Are you sure you can make it?"
Joe, jbird2131, Brandon, Doug, jrciv, and Stephen,
Thanks! Your comments make this list much stronger.
I got that nervous feeling reading jrciv's about my race registration being lost!!! Scary!
Do not like hearing from my family or friends:
"Man I am tired!" (this is my least favorite)--I just want to say..."Yeah try getting up at 3:15am to set up T1, stand around for four hours, and then race your heart out for another 2-4 hours"
When another athlete says, "Gawd, I'm sure glad I remembered to bring my [fill in the blank] this time!" and it's something you forgot or wish you'd thought of.
