Then when they do wake up they ask you if you are going to workout today. |

Regular 1161 Hamilton, IL | Subject: RE: You know you are a triathlete when... (add comment) At work I time myself from one end of the building to another. I run through the hall in aero position, grab a coffee from an innocent bystander, slam half of it, then toss the mug over my shoulder. When I get to the end of the building I do a flip turn and repeat. I just set a PR. TSS 100 and sustained watts of 300. My Garmin said my HR zones were optimal, but my cadence was low. Any advice? My office workout logs are all up to date, feel free to check them. |

Expert 1159 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: You know you are a triathlete when... (add comment) You sometimes try to hide yet another swim workout from your spouse the way some people try to hide marital affairs (Is that chlorine I smell? You've been swimming again, haven't you?). |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: You know you are a triathlete when... (add comment) You're so tired during a big week that you put your shirt - AND your sweatshirt - on backwards after swimming and don't notice until you get funny looks and look down. Then you do it again later the same day after your run. <facepalm> (Yep, that was yesterday for me). Matt |

(add comment) Friends and Family try to find a date for an event that works for everyone during the spring/summer but nothing works for you because you already have a race booked. They think they are being proactive planning 5 months out but your race schedule has already been set for months. |

Finished my lunch run today, got pulled into a meeting before I was able to get in the showers. About half way into the meeting I had to take my HR monitor off. It was driving me crazy.) I got some funny looks there. But then again I was wearing a florescent blue top and purple running shorts. People already were looking at me funny. |
