A story-driven collection from Qavah Designs — apparel for when you’re not working out.

You Don’t Control Race Day.

You train for months
You plan for everything you can
And then race morning reminds you who’s actually in charge.

Weather. Road conditions. Mechanical issues. Cramps.
And sometimes — the swim is cancelled.

You don’t get a vote.
You get what you get.
And you still show up.

The Swim Is Cancelled shirt is funny because it’s true.
It’s worn by athletes who’ve been there, shrugged, laughed (or didn’t), and raced anyway.

This isn’t complaining. It’s perspective.

Three Reactions. One Community.

This design always gets the same response: laughter, frustration, or confusion.

That’s how you know it’s working.

Even Joe Wilson (Triathlon Joe) is known for laughing about the swims being cancelled — not because it’s ideal, but because experience teaches you to roll with it.

If you get it, you get it.
