What should I put on my race bib? (Read 457 times)


sugnim

    I am signing up for a half marathon and there is an option to have your name printed on your race bib.  You can type your name into the registration form as you want it to appear on your bib.  This means you can probably put anything you want on your bib.  What should I have printed on it?  My name?  Something else?  Ideas?

          Meow.

           

          It would be a hoot to hear "Way to go, meow!" all 13.1 miles, yes?

              Yes it would--much more amusing than hearing the announcer stumble through my last name!

               

              I'm not sure if I'm pimptastic enough for T-rod's suggestion, but I do have plenty of time to train before the race.

                I usually have my first name or my screen name.  Very funny when people yell Docket.  It was weird having the Germans trying to pronounce my name, though.  They tried but my name ended up sounding funny instead.

                  Your first name.  It's fun to hear people cheering for you, especially towards the end when you're exhausted & pushing it.

                   

                  Oh, and Damaris, what's that in your avatar?  Is that an ornament with your screen name?  If so....cool!

                      I think of myself as Busty LaRue at times.  Some day I will put that on a bib...if they allow me.

                        Drink up moho's!!

                          Seen a guy at Chicago that had his name on his shirt.  First half of the race it was GO BILL!!!! which really pumped him up but was annoying to us around him.  He of course went out too fast and trudged ahead.  Later I passed him and it was COME ON BILL ALMOST THERE YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!

                           

                          And the look on his face said WTF did I put my name on my shirt?????

                            Seabiscuit would also be pretty funny.
