I knew we were on to something...

Remember when a few of us registered for Ironmans and listed our occupations as silly stuff? One time Tim was a "Leaf Raker", Joe Bobby was an "Underpants Inspektor", I was a "Smokin'Hot Nascar Wife"... etc. 

I see from the list of registrants at Ironman Arizona that the trend has really taken off . Check these out...

Cat Herder
Grave Digger
Hustla!
Master Chihuahua Wrangler
Mine Sweeper
Moustache Jockey
Mullet Designer
Ninja
Pirate
Pragmatist
Prime Minister
Prospective Eccentric Billionaire
Rapper
Supreme Allied Commander

I keep wondering when Mike Reilly will start announcing them as he calls their names over the finish line.  Some of these are great!

What have you been?

I think my favorites are prime minister and Supreme Allied Commander.

Churchill and Eisenhower do triathlon--who knew?

I love the exclamation point after Hustla! Mike Reilly *totally* needs to start announcing all those. He seems to selectively announce occupations anyway, right?

I put down my occupation as Professional Spandex Wearer....

Mike Reilly did not call it ;(

At IM CDA I was Turd on the Run (an old Rolling Stones song title).

Borsch - we used to do something like that growing up!
We took names from the newspaper: my brothers were "Area Man" and "Local Boy". My sister in law was "Mother of Five", I think I was "Victim"...etc.
We could count on at least one of us making the news every day.

Momma! I still think your suggestion of "Underpants Inspector" was the best :)

For the Gulf Coast Half I was a Lingerie Model...and they called me in that way.

I was only wearing a little more than lingerie at that point...are those plums?

Jenny, thanks for leaving me a comment about Bill Lobdell's blog. I get over there when I can....I usually am running behind on email, blog reading, etc. ;-)

I have never run in a triathalon, but I have a friend who does them. LoL
