Expert 1379 Woodland, California | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? I was having a conversation with a few other women about weight issues and one of them said "PLEASE, I could scrub my dish towels on your abs". Now that's nowhere close to being true but it was nice to hear! |

Expert 1123 Falls Church, VA | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? I don't exactly have a tri physique so I'm not sure how to answer it. I did lean up this year, but I was going to do that anyway. |

Extreme Veteran 3177 | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? conversation with a co-worker went something like this... C: with how much you workout you must be in great shape! M: well...I guess round is a shape right? C: I would say you look more like an oval... M: well an oval does have better aerodynamics. |

Expert 1073 scottsdale, az | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? I usually get arm comments.... " can I have your guns" and similar ones along those lines. Before I gained weight people thought I looked like a gymnast ( was for many years). A few months ago a man asked me if I was related to Shawn Johnson |

Expert 977 Huntington Beach | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? I am stick skinny. I always have been and I have always hated it. However, this weekend my friend said "Wow! Look at your shoulders. You are getting some arms." I was flying high as a kite after that comment. |

Extreme Veteran 1112 Las Vegas | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? As a swimmer all my life, I've always had that wide shoulder V shape, but at 56, not too many women or guys comment on my shape anymore, so I have to admire the work myself. Although after my first 9 months of biking, my training partner said WOW look at your calves. As a side though, in watching the Tour de France, how much do those guys weigh, like 90 pounds, and all thigh and calf. |

Veteran 295 | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? People used to constant ask me if I swim (before I did tri's)...I was just born with wide shoulders and muscular arms...I played basketball when I was younger but my main sport was soccer and that doesn't really work your arms much so I have no idea how I have the arms I do...but now I can tell people I swim since I've been doing for about 5/6 months now...so that's good. I had a funny thing happen at work...A co worker of mine was introducing me to her husband...and she said "she's the triathlete...can't you tell?" All I can say is AWKWARD...he didn't say anything by the way. probably good. |

| Regular 106 SF Bay Area, California | Subject: RE: How has your Tri Physique been described? Quite a long time ago, back when I was young, single, and a 2:38 marathoner, I was at a party when I overheard someone ask the woman that I was with if I was sick with cancer or HIV or something because I was so thin. She laughed it off but, it bugged me. It was, however, one of the events that got me to start to spend more time lifting and start swimming. I did my first tri a year later and have never looked back. I'm still lean, but I don't look like a POW anymore. |

SWIM2LIVE - 2009-07-06 12:51 AM As a swimmer all my life, I've always had that wide shoulder V shape, but at 56, not too many women or guys comment on my shape anymore, so I have to admire the work myself.

As a side though, in watching the Tour de France, how much do those guys weigh, like 90 pounds, and all thigh and calf. A coworker of mine (who has dabbled in road biking, but can't get over the road crashign aspect) has commented that roadies tend to get a look that is similar to a praying mantis, hehe also, not to rain on everyone's parade, but I do see a lot of people e-statting their bodyfat % numbers. Some boasting sub 10% while their arms are still quite smooth. Skinny doesn't necessarily mean lean. Edited by Bioteknik 2009-07-06 5:37 AM |
