The often overlooked but important piece of race execution

Flashing the EN gang sign... although I did forget it at the Texas 70.3.

  • Good work. I never manage to get it right. Almost always ass backward. Now that there are a big E and N on the singlets I will try to just match them up.
  • Very Nice! In the new singlet too!
  • Sorry, guys. too many broken fingers for the right hand. The E would be impossible for me. Good to know that this is out there, tho, cuz when we see people's hards/arms doing this at my work, we have them worked up for a stroke.

    I will admit that I wasn't quite sure if I got it right.  I remember questioning myself after I did it.  "Did I just do that backwards?  Man, I'm going to look like a total dumbass."

    I was glad to see from the race pics that I didn't flash an "NE" sign and got it right.

  • Good work, Bob.

     I have shared this before.  I got ths sent to me the day before IM CdA 2009.  My 82 year old mom on the left and her 94 year old sister on the right.  During any rough patches on race day I would think of this and smile.  

     

  • Hey...I think that lady passed me at my first half....
  • That is so great, John. You just made my day. Such support!!
  •  The EN sign is not just for races.  It made its appearance this morning at the Cancer Center.  I was sititng there figuring out which way to do the sign when my wife said, "WHAT are you doing???"  Me - "Practicing my EN sign."  Wife - "What????"  

    I had to explain that I wanted to make sure I don't mess it up for pictures this year.....backwards and what not.....she just gave me "the look."

    PS - Yes I am wearing a pink wristband -- it hasn't left my wrist since September.

    LOL. We are the triathletes that say "NE!"
