I recently was told by my heart doctor that my resting heart rate is 48, so of course that was the first thing I decided I HAD to do which I realize makes me a Tri nerd, haha! |

Last Saturday, while puking my guts out from food poisoning at 5am, I caught myself thinking "I wonder if I can still make my race", which started in 3 hours. (Spousal wisdom got the better of me...) |

Extreme Veteran 466 Cornfield in Northern Iowa | Subject: RE: (just for fun) you know you're a triathlete when ... your wife routinely comments how you love your bike more than her (or as much) When a co-worker asks if you are racing this weekend, you say "yeah, but I'm just running a 10k, so that is not REALLY a race". When people praising you for being able to run 15 miles you're feeling insulted. |

Master 1440 | Subject: RE: (just for fun) you know you're a triathlete when ... SKDickey - 2009-06-22 7:49 PM You wear your heart rate monitor to bed to see what your heart rate is when you wake up. I recently was told by my heart doctor that my resting heart rate is 48, so of course that was the first thing I decided I HAD to do which I realize makes me a Tri nerd, haha! I swear I did this yesterday and today, but how can I be hard core? I mean I only have run one race so far and it was just a sprint, and okay I have another scheduled for July 5th, but it's only a super sprint. Okay and I am entering another one in the middle of September. OKay and maybe I do train every day, but not twice a day (to often). And I mean it is just since April that I have been doing this. I can't be hard core, I can't. What will my friends and family say? Verga |

You ask your co-workers what they did this weekend and they comment back, " we just sorta hung around the house". When you respond back with yours they are floored with how much you fit into one weekend (distance or time wise) |
