Picking a Shirt

Jason's second Ironman is coming up and he is in the thick of his training.  It is insane.  And he's got about six weeks left.  That means I must get crackin' on my preparations as well.  One of which is picking out my shirt. 

Last year, as I supported Jason's first Ironman, I saw all kinds of cute, creative apparel worn by the other wives and moms and families out supporting their Ironpeeps.  I was sporting a comfy and cool running outfit so that I would be quick on my feet, and I did get the Ironman logo painted on my arm at the face painting booth...but this year, I vowed to be more prepared.  No longer will I be the rookie supporter, no sir.  This year I will show up looking like a pro!

So I gotta pick my shirt.  And shopping for it has been fun and hilarious.  Here is what I found:

Till I get my husband back...I like it.


Or, he goes the distance...cheesy or cute?
 
Appropriate!

Oops...got sidetracked...

This one is in the running...I like it too.

This may be my # 1 choice.  It says it all.

Sidetracked again.  But so TRUE!

Jason said I wouldn't have the nerve...but it makes me grin.

For Jason...so true.
Aaaaand sidetracked again.  I guess it would depend on who the other aunts were...
One day...

I think I may go with the "I Heart My Triathlete" one.  But I like the 140.6 ones as well.  So tough!  What do you think?  

All shirts were located at www.cafepress.com by searching for "triathlon shirt."

  3. Ha ha ha - I was not intending to be punny at all. Yep, I think it will be I Heart My Triathlete. OR I could buy 3 - one for each event! It would add mystery to Jason's race. "What will Jane's shirt say next?" Oh the possibilities...

  4. I loved the trispectator sit, wait, cheer!! SO TRUE. I wonder if my husband will last just during Rocket Man much less a half iron...and there's NO HOPE WHATSOEVER for him to be watching me do a full IM....of course I'll be taking close to the full 17 hours to finish most likely so it's understandable!! Which IM is Jason doing?

  5. Okay, I liked the one that said "Oh, you ran a marathon. That's cute" because it made me laugh at myself! We all want to think, "Look at what I did!" Until we see that others have done MUCH more! And it reminded me of the time I saw a "140.6" bumper sticker on the back of someone's car and my sister thought it was for a radio station! She had NO IDEA that someone could travel that far in a race. Think about it, it's incredible! And your role is important too. You do a great job supporting Jason and understanding all that is involved with training.
