The frontrunner stole my quote....

It is actually " When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"

This is the only thing that I remember from college.

My favorite motivational quotes are all from the same person...

1) "Keep training, lycra never lies!" JT

Very true indeed. The stomach hanging out of a lycra suit isn't a good
thing. That's one of the reasons I wear a vest...

2) "On the podium if the right people don't show up!" JT

There are at least a dozen guys or more in the Minnesota and Wisconsin
area who always beat me in my age group. They don't always show up for
the races though...

"Stick around this sport long enough and you'll beat everyone at least
once!" JT

Another very true quote. Here's a partial list of the skiers I've
beaten who I've had no business beating; Marcus Nash, Chip Tabor, Jay
Wenner, Greg Lemond, Jeff Bradley, Michael Standmann, Juha Mieto, Dave
Dow, Dave Christopherson, Mike Myers, etc... They were either fat, out
of shape, old or had very bad skis...

Anyway, those are some great quotes...

Excellent idea! Never thought of that - I always used a wide belt with my
water bottle holders.

The one that works the best for me, now, is

"No Excuses."

I always liked "It's all about the glide"
But in the local 4th of July parade, the High school ski team had a good
slogan; "Ski CrossCountry, because gravity is not a sport"

Night or day, it doesn't matter where I go anymore, I just go.
We set out that night for the cold in the North.
Skies are grey, I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow.
You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above.
Got ice water in my veins.
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'.
I'm cold, cover me with a blanket.
Suffering like a fool.
North wind about to break.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.
