I share an office with two coaches. They make fun of triathlon. They both have beer bellies. What's up with that?

Triathlon is just fun to make fun of for "skill athletes".  

I love triathlon so don't take this the wrong way, but the fact is, it takes WAY more practice to hit .300 in baseball or shoot 75% from the free-throw line than it ever does to be able to run a triathlon.  In fact, if it wasn't for swimming, virtually ANYBODY could spend a month or two and finish an event up to Oly distance....especially with all of the walking that goes on.

Again, I'm a fan of anyone who gets up off their arse and becomes active in triathlon or anything else......but I get why other athletes make fun of triathlon....and triathletes.

It takes nooo practice to shoot baskets with my son, or take a bat and play some ball, or be on a community team, I can do that. You are comparing professional players with amateur triathletes. 

I do not really have the skill to podium in big triathlon event. It takes some genetics and umm. practice to do that. 

The beauty of triathlon is that anyone who can swim, has a bike, and can run, can participate. True. 

(I was kidding with my response, I love my coaches. They're really funny)

PS: As far as I know, my friends have done nothing to practice any of their skill sports since High School/College.

I have a trainer so I guess I'm a legit athlete now... wish I got paid for it.

 

Before I was just a guy that ran races.
