You know you're a triathlete when.... (Page 2)

when you are driving your car and you pass someone on their bike, and you have the urge to say outloud "On you left"

It's bad when you think this about other cars.

Just asked my wife about that one and she's all for it.  SHE ROCKS!!!!!!!

My vacation days this year have been used for:

1. New Orleans half marathon
2. Clermont, FL Oly
3. Gulf Coast Half iron
4. Grandfather Mtn. Marathon
5. Great Floridian (oct)
6. Athens, Greece marathon and week in the islands

I am taking some upaid days for the last two trips also!! Talk about sacrafice!

- When you call the tri shop your "adult entertainment" store; thats what I call All3Sports. I'm going today! Whoo hoo!
-When people try to set you up, the first question you think or ask is "Do the PARTICIPATE in sports? Do they own a bike? Do they run?"
-You won't go visit family unless there is a race nearby otherwise you would miss too much training
-Your car smells like your workout bag

Here's one for the programmers/enginerds:

You have 4 different macros in your text editor for formatting race results from the web so you can paste them into Excel.

This is my best one- I've only done it once...so far.

You cancel a date by lying and saying you have to work late, when really you don't want to miss your workout and would rather ride your bike.

I talk to Big Red when I haven't seen her in a while. Or anytime I see her. Ok..all the time.

Like this morning: "Hey Big Red, how are you doing today. You look beautiful. Hope youre feeling ok."

Am I the only one to talks to their beloved this way?

I feel guilty leaving my bike in the garage. I feel like I should be polishing it or something, when I'm not riding it.  I haven't decided what to call IT yet, or whether it's male or female.  The writing on the tube says Mauriztio, so I was thinking of calling him Maurice, but... that just doesn't seem fast or sexy. (no offence to any Maurice's out there -- I'm sure you ARE fast and sexy).

You know you're a triathlete when your garage looks like a transition area exploded... wetsuits hanging up everywhere, bikes propped againsts every stable surface, race numbers floating around on the floor, little empty mylar gel packets stuck to everything...

When a Cat 3 Hurricane is predicted to slam your house, and all you can think about is how much of your tri gear will fit in the car with that many other people in it.

And when you are upset that you can't evacuate your bike. I hope that it fairs well.
