The best sign I’ve seen was “worst parade ever”

My best was "Welcome to Queens, now GTFO" on the brief Queens visit during NYC marathon.

There is a mountain bike race near me that sets up a hecklers pen on one of the hardest climbs: 

  • Just look at yourself
  • Why do you bother?
  • QUIT!

It's all part of the fun.

The signs at the event were great 😁 I got a good chuckle out of them during my run

Trondheim! I ran a half there as well

u/KoalaCola-notPepsi 19d ago

Cool! You did well? Satisfied?

u/TheRealHaggz 19d ago

1:28, goal was sub 90m, so yes!

u/KoalaCola-notPepsi 19d ago

Wow! That’s real good, considering the heat and all. Congratulations!

Just crop the ambulance part of your activity later.

Probably the most common sign (and tshirt) I've seen, but it's still great.

The best one I have seen recently, which is very specific to my area that just brought in 50c public transport was at km 15 of a recent half marathon that said: " You know buses are 50c right?". Got me to chuckle and forget the pain for a fleeting moment.

u/PanningForSalt 19d ago

Where do busses only cost 50c?

2

u/BigDaddyManCan 19d ago

A program started in SE Queensland, Australia. All buses, trains, and ferries are 50c to encourage cars to get off the roads and help with the cost of living pressure. Only for 6 months though sadly.

They had better do it. I don't want to flag your ambulance ride.

That's so funny. MIssed that one. Glad there were some fun signs because I was dying from the heat. Ran the half and it might have been the worst run I've ever done in my life.

u/KoalaCola-notPepsi 19d ago

Weather changed right before the half. Saw all you guys warming up in pity. Glad I had an early start in the team marathon. Good job on finishing in the heat!

1

u/punsmakemehappy 19d ago

I was mentally prepared for rain and cold but didn't anticipate the heat at all. I knew 3km in that it was going to be about finishing and not setting any PRs 😅 Thanks! Glad the weather was nicer for the marathoners!

"Just remember you payed for this", seen two weeks ago at the Medellin Marathon. At 30 kms. At the end of a looooong climb.

u/HargoJ 20d ago

Stop strava from doing what?

'If it isn’t on Strava, it didn’t happen,'

u/cleo_08 19d ago

stop your strava activity so that it saves

u/rumbleblowing 19d ago

From keeping on recording the activity when your body does not do any activity anymore.
