Expert  1116   Thornton, CO |  Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE...When friends inform you there's a big stain on the seat in your car and you respond with "Oh, that's just from the chain ring" without ever looking to see what stain they were talking about. When you get invited to a BBQ and they tell you to bring your swim suit you ask them if the pool is long enough to do some laps. The number of days until your next race is directly related to the percentage of work you get done at the office. You plan your family vacations AFTER you schedule what races you'll be in next year. Taking into account that 3/4ths of your vacation days are used for traveling to those races. |

Veteran 290 Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... When your friends tell you they can't wait to watch Iron Man, and you agree, saying that you want to see how Chrissie Wellington does, and your friends ask, "Chrissie Wellington? No, Scarlett Johansson is in this one." Then it clicks in your head. |

Champion 7558 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... (Curmugdeon on) Many of the ways aren't really tri-specific as they apply to runners OR cyclists OR swimmers too. (Curmugdeon off) But... Unlike your friends in the cycling club, running club, or Master's swimming, you have friends in all four clubs (what? You're not also part of the tri-club?) Edited by McFuzz 2009-09-10 12:28 PM |

Master 1289 Franklin, TN | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... You won't date anyone unless they own a wetsuit. Your 8AM - 5PM job REALLY gets in the way of training. You bring HOW much food to the office each day?!?!?!? |

Veteran 135 | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... Great list. I did my first Sprint Tri on Labor Day and find myself already doing some of the things on the list. Spending half the work day thinking about the training you are going to do when you get home and whether you can squeeze in a swim and a bike before dark! |

Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... You look back at your used vacation days and they're all Fridays and Mondays. When moving furniture you make space for the sofa, the chair, the ottoman, the desk and your bike. You momentarily frightened by the wetsuit hanging in the shower when you get up for an enviro break in the middle of the night. You keep a shipping tube under your desk so you can roll your foot while you work. You know what pace booty is, and you like it. |

| 105 | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... Your kids learn how to drink from a cycling bottle before they can drink from a sippy cup...and they know it has something sweet and fun colored in it. Your co-workers are amazed at how fast your lunch disappears. By the time they can walk and before they can speak, your kids know that they should not put their fingers in your spokes while you are on the trainer. |

No, Scarlett Johansson is in this one." Then it clicks in your head. This one nearly got me in trouble. There was not a sound in my office until I busted out laughing. Everyone, about 15 people, turned and gave me the "WTF" look. Luckily the phone rang and I snatched it up and pretended it never happened. |

Regular 108 | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... A very attractive woman goes by on her bike, and the first thought that goes through your mind is...Nice bike! (My guess is cyclists do this also.) |

Member 603 Chicago | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... When someone looks at you funny because you walked your bike in with you to the teller at the bank while wearing a tri top and shorts just to deposit a check. I like to be efficient with my time and get things done before I ride. |

Expert 1690 | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... This one from just last night. Got invited to a movie and the first thing i thought was "great I can be sociable and elevate my legs to recover at the same time without getting yelled at." |

| Expert 1461 Sarnia, Ontario | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... Kelly0639 - 2009-09-10 4:12 AM When you find out your wife is going out of town for the weekend, your first thought is, "I wonder who I can get to babysit the kids so that I can still get my long ride in?" This is me... right now!!! When she said she was going for the weekend the first thing I thought about is who I could get to watch the kids and when I could get my training in... I actually got off work early so I could squeeze a swim in and still be home when I told the sitter I would be, because I knew I wouldnt be able to get a swim in til next week... is that bad? |

| Champion 5376 PA | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... Due to the shorter days, you haul your bike to work so you can fit in that 30 mile ride home before dark... despite the fact that you know you will be forced to ride your motorcycle to work (in the rain) the next morning. |

| Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... mk29 - 2009-09-09 8:58 PM You know you're a Triathlete when (YKYATW): Everything you eat is all natural, but none of your clothes are. YKYATW: The boss sends you on a business trip and the first thing you pack is a wetsuit and bike pump. YKYATW: The airlines wants to charge you for overweight baggage so the first thing you toss are your work clothes. You can always get new work clothes at Walmart...but good training clothing is worth its' weight in gold. YKYATW: Your friends try to hook you up on a blind date and the first thing you ask them is "What's her pace?" YKYATW: You see a 90.3 sticker (a local radio station) and wonder what race that is? Happy RIOW! Quality! |

| Veteran 290 Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... When you shave your legs because you think having hair sticking through your tights looks funny. In other words, you've become oblivious to the fact that tights look funny to begin with. That one's for RichMan  |

| New user 73 Collegeville | Subject: RE: Funny: WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE... jfroerd2309 -- When driving over a bridge or past a body of water and your first thought is, "I could swim that". That is a great one - I do it all the time. |
