Yup, pool went from having a couple lanes open everyday with none shared to all lanes shared and none open as soon as the time changed.  It is brutal to try and get a swim in all the sudden at my gym.  From 5AM - 8AM take a number...

you cannot allow co-workers into your car because it smells like the gym's pool mixed with sweat and BO. They don't even ask to use your car for carpooling to friday lunch because they know this.

You have two air fresheners in said car...and it does nothing.

When driving and going over a bridge, you glance at the water and think, "I could swim that!".

You take a lunch break and come back wreaking of chlorine.  The first thing you do once you get back from your lunch break = eat lunch.

Your permanent response to people riding in your car:

 "Sorry, I've got all of my tri stuff in there."

 "But you have an SUV..."

 "Yes, I know."

 

LMAO I was at a party over the weekend and someone asked me to give them and their friend a ride home and my response was I only can fit one I have my bike with me...they didn't believe me and that it was my way of hitting on her...until they saw

lucky...I usually swim with 3-5 per lane, and they are usually in the "wrong" lane...i.e. floaters in the lane marked "fast," and the lifeguards do zilch about it.

1) You're doing 3x the laundry you were doing 3 months ago, but not using any more fabric softener than before.

 

I am a bit opposite. I am doing less laundry because the warmer it gets the less I have to wear

You realize you haven't showered at your house in weeks. Group showers don't seem that strange anymore. You're happily surprised when there is hot water at the gym and consider it a treat.  You tell yourself that cold water days are good training for Alcatraz.

You bring a cooler to work. Filled with post workout recovery drink, 2nd breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, 2nd recovery drink, extra water bottles and snacks.

Your briefcase is filled with race information, triathlon magazines and articles and your swim suit. Everyone thinks you take tons of work home everyday.

I bought a chocolate cookie out of a vending machine at work this afternoon, got back to my desk, and threw it in a drawer instead of eating it.

Does it count if you leave the pool wet, in your suit (with a coverup)  to get the grocery store to get you groceries you've been neglecting?

On your way from the pool to work you see the following license plate:

4DNF255

And think, if that were my plate I would get a different one.

You no longer have a family calendar. It's been replaced with the training calendar, food logs, workout schedules, group rides/runs, and the occassional rest day.

You mow the yard and do house work on the "rest days" and don't think anything about it.

You don't find it odd that the grocery bill has doubled.

Your neighbors inquire to your wife of your whereabouts b/c they haven't seen you in a while. Her response is "swimming, biking, or running"

Someone tells you "You have a big heart" and you think not big enough b/c the 4000yrd swim is kicking my butt!
