Hate or Love sports

Love, Love, Love

Now, that doesn't mean I get frustrated now and then and a swim, bike or run feels like shyte

I love to run, bike and swim

Swimming and Biking have always been strengths and were the attraction that drew me into Triathlons. Although my run sucked when I started out, I still enjoyed it. Now after 8 marathons, my run does not suck so bad and I enjoy it that much more. (Not to mention running distance races)

To be clear, I love training for each of the three disciplines and I love to race. It is imperative that training be fun since racing is only 5% of my total volume for the year.

The best part of all this is that my surfing has improved a great deal even if I don't have as much time to paddle out as used to

I sure am glad that he did not allow for "User Defined' entries in this poll. It would get very silly in a hurry

C'mon Spokes, you love to run. Don't tell me you were not "Man On Fire" in the last 100 yards of your last Half Marathon when you knew you had a new PR.

Or better, when you were within sight of the finish at CIM, you did not suddenly think to yourself, "I am going to F'n Do this thing, YEAH!!"

I can't say that I love swimming, biking, or running.  I like 2 of them, dislike one but am getting better, but I love triathlon.

Pretty much a case where the whole is greater than the sum of its' parts.

So, for example, just (hypothetically speaking, of course) suppose that someone started a thread about how they hate running, and someone blasted them, and called it insane that they were signed up for 2 HIMs.  I dunno, maybe the whole is greater than the sum of its' parts for that person too.

Well, I'm off to run.  I used to hate it, but now I actually like it.  Who knew? 

I am another of the sum is greater than the parts.....

I love s/b/r

on a given day I could love or dislike each but the sum I always dig..... 

I went with hate running (obviously), love cycling and OK with swimming.

Great poll though...interesting to see what people feel about them.

Love, Love, Love.... But the real test is what you think at mile 13.1 on an IM run; I forget, but I seem to recall hate, hate, hate. lol  Boy it sure is a good thing that us humans don't remember pain, otherwise there'd be no siblings in the world, and no triathlon.

LaurenSU02 - 2008-01-23 4:36 PM Love cycling, love running, like swimming. I don't mind going to the pool by any means, but I don't look forward to and get as excited about my swims as I do my runs and bikes. However, for OWS, I can hardly contain myself .

That's why you've got the wetsuit, so you don't vaporize into molecules or something. 

LOL

I think you need to add I Love Triathlon.  Because, while I checked Love Running, given the choice between running a marathon and doing an Ironman, I'll choose IM everytime.  Running alone just doesn't compare to doing all three together...for me.
