Regular 59 |  Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out TrainingI can totally relate to this one too. I'm the one who's supposed to be responsible for the garden/ lawn care as the BF hates that stuff. This is my first year of tri training, and all the vegetables are dead, and I now have a pile of dirt where the grass once was. Sigh. |

Extreme Veteran 887   Lake Placid, NY | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training No funny comments since I live in a town that eats, breathes and sleeps tri, but I feel you on the lawncare. The guy across the street spends all his free time on his and it looks like a carpet. I get a dirty look from him every time I leave on my bike or in my running shoes. |

Regular 109 NE MISS. | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training A couple of weeks ago I was riding with my cousin. He rides a mountain bike and I have to hold back for him to stay close. But when we hit the hills there is no way he can stay close. I had just finished a long hill and he was no where in site, so I turned around and headed back his way. I met him but it was a bad spot to turn around. So i kept going to a better place to turn around. Now I was pretty far behind him. So I decided to chase him down before he made it up the hill. I am really working hard to catch up. I hear a truck coming up behind me. As they get close I since that someone is hanging out the truck and prepare for the worse. As they go by he holds out his cigarette and yells "I KNOW you don't smoke these." I just smiled, shook my and and said "no". I guess it was a compliment. |

Champion 19812  MA | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training These are so funny.... I race cyclocross and this one weekly practice race is like 40 guys and 1 or 2 women including me. We frequently get teenagers driving by the field and yell stuff. Once I was pretty close to the road and heard them yell, you guys all like men...made me laugh and I yelled back yep I do. Down in FL I was riding near the beach and this group of teenage boys about my sons' age pulled out of the parking lot and the car in front of them was driving poorly onto the median, so I yelled don't hit me as I rode in front of them.as they waited for car in front of them to figure out where to go. They pulled out and got stopped at the next light. I rode by and heard them say, "was that a guy or a chick as they had a nice " then another one says I think it was a chick...and I rode by laughing and wanted to yell back thanks I bet I'm your Mom's age. The funny part to me was they weren't sure if I was a guy or not but were admiring....made me laugh. |

Extreme Veteran 682 Canton, MI. via Detroit | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I have mapped out a 5k run that starts in my driveway (one time around = 2.5k) So usually I go around twice. I swear if I ever had to stop in the next subdivision over this one lady would rape me. I've seen her push a lawnmower into a tree watching me. Every time I go by I think she is going to have a stroke or something. I just smile and runaway as fast as I can! |

Pro 4612 MA | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Riding on an uphill. At the top of the hill saw another cyclist coming from the other side of the hill. Both panting, both said "terrible". Then I added "now it's the fun part". Riding down a slope to a "valley" by the Hanscom AFB. I was flying down and admiring some planes when I heard "I hate up hills". Saw a cyclist coming from the opposit direction. I pointed to my front and said "monentum!" and proceeded to hammer on the padels. Morning commute to work, before 7am. I was 5 miles from my destination. Stopped at a red light. On the next lane stopped a pickup truck with a young driver - some 20 years old. Was drizzling and I was plenty wet. He asked how long I had been riding. I said close to an hour. He replied "you are crazy". |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I have spent the week in NY gearing for a race this weekend. OWS has been my weakness and this years rain has made OWS praice nearly non existent. So....all week long I've been going to a little town beach near my family and the guards have allowed me to swim outside the roped of area between 2 bouys about 100 meters length. Today when I let them know I was around and asked permission to go out there again it was a different guard. She was fine allowing me out to the bouys again--then said something about me calling them if I needed them. Hmmm, 2400 meters later I swam in just fine Edited by QueenZipp 2009-07-28 4:19 PM |

Master 1817 Lafayette, IN | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training A few months back, I was out for a run and passed an old man walking his dog. He gave me a wave and said, "How you doing today young man?" I am neither young nor male. It would appear that oakleys and a short hair cut make me look like a teenage boy. |

Welcome to Stepford! I was swimming laps today. I am NOT a fast swimmer - average a little over 1 minute/50 yds. In the lane next to me, about halfway through my workout, a young guy looking in shape (I am neither young nor in shape) starts swimming, with a lot of breaks. Towards the end of my workout, he swims alongside me for 25 yards, then stops to rest at the end. A few minutes later, I end my workout, and he asks me how fast I am going, since he could not keep up. Funny mainly in the context, especially since I used to routinely finish 2-3 waves behind my starting wave! |

Master 1993 Riverside, IL | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Was coming home from a long ride on Sunday with my husband and a friend. We're stopped at a light in a left-turn lane, when a motorcycle pulls up next to my husband. I hear the guy asking him "how far have you ridden today?". My husband replies, "oh, a little over 75, and we have quite a ways to get home yet". The guy replies "MILES?!?!" Husband says "yup". Biker says, "Hell, I haven't even ridden 75 miles today...and my bike has a MOTOR!". He then told us to "have a nice day" and off he went. Hee hee...I thought that was cute.

Champion 6656 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I was swimming long course about 1.5 weeks back doing A 10X100 set... I was holding about 133/100m pretty easily just trying to be long and smooth. About halfway through the set this guy joins in the lane with me. I finish the set and he's at the wall with me just having finished a 200m or so. Were both standing at the end (him right side, me left side) when I hear someone go "excuse me". I turn around and its this little 5 yr old boy standing there with his lifejacket on and he tells me "you swim very well" and looks at the guy beside me, turns around and runs away... |

Master 1289 Franklin, TN | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training There were several articles in last week's newspaper about the local tri being moved from the suburbs to downtown this past weekend. On Monday, there was a front page article with a picutre of a guy OWS in the tri. I was in the breakroom getting some coffee and the newspaper was on one of the tables. A coworker looked down at the article then looked at me and said "I supposed you tortured yourself this weekend, huh?" I looked at her and said, "Yeah, but it is a good torture!" She looked at me weird and walked out of the breakroom. |

Master 1848 Canandaigua | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I was watching M-daddy swim for the first time. After one lap I looked at him and said "You must be exhausted by the time you get done with your swim". He replied "yep". After a serious hill of about 3 miles Mike told me his quads hated me and would be gunning for me. Of course he decided then that I would learn to run even if it killed me. While swimming with Sam the dog the other day in the middle of the lake some says "can I pet your dog". Dude it's six in the morning the middle of the lake not the city park. Oh to let ya know Sam swims a mile with me . Edited by dexter 2009-07-28 8:08 PM |

| New user 219 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training esc - 2009-07-28 4:27 PM LOL! This makes me think of a situation... I'm short and keep my hair really short. I also teach 5th grade. Other teachers will often come into my room and if I'm sitting with the kids, they'll ask, "Where on earth is your teacher?" Then, one day I was turned around writing something on the board as the kids came in from recess. I also was wearing an LLBean fleece sweatshirt similar to what many of the kids in class wear. One girl came in and screamed: "Jeremy! Mrs. D is going to be so mad that you're writing on the board!"uh... maybe it's time for a real hairdo!A few months back, I was out for a run and passed an old man walking his dog. He gave me a wave and said, "How you doing today young man?" I am neither young nor male. It would appear that oakleys and a short hair cut make me look like a teenage boy. |

Regular 126 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training So Im out for an early run and I pass an older kind of straggly looking old guy amd he says Hi. I get to the end of the trail and make my way beack down and here comes the same guy. He says nice day and I say yeah not really wanting to talk. I get a few feet past and he blurts out Hey I saw a coyote. Now Im in a fairly urban area of Pa and Im pretty sure we don't have coyotes but it scares me so I stop. He goes on to tell me he saw it in the morning and then says Yeah that's why I carry a piece and pats his him where I see the outline of a gun. Um the second part of my run was much faster and kind of in a zig zagging pattern. |

Expert 961 Illinois _ Chicago area | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I'm getting out of the pool at the club, I look up and here come a student of mine and his mother. She see me and yells across the deck, waving madly "Hi Mrs.____ Wait there. I want you to meet my husband." What a way to meet the parent of a student. In your swimsuit with goggle indentations around your eyes. |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Not in tri training, but still pretty funny. In undergrad, I was with my fencing team at NCAA Regional Champs. We had our "legal" warmups on, as the nice Reebok dark green ones had a logo too large to be allowed in the competition area. We called our legal ones "Sprites" because really, they looked like Sprite cans - bright green and yellow. Anywho, we were between rounds and headed to The Creamery (PSU) when this car drives past, the driver leans WAY out of the window, and screams, "BRALILLIAAHHH!!!! BRALLILLIAAHHH!!!!" pumping his fist the whole time. We all stopped. We stared. At each other, at his car driving away. We had no freaking clue what THAT was all about. Until, late in the day, I happened to be walking up to the whole group hanging out. Something clicked - the colors, the accent, the bumper sticker on the guy's car... he was screaming "Brazilia! Brazilia!" We were, of course, wearing Brazil's national colors. I've always through it was pretty cool for someone to think I was on a national team.  |

New user 4 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I work on an island in northern Michigan during the summer, and there are no cars allowed on the island. It's called Mackinac Island, and it was where Somewhere in Time was filmed like 29 years ago if anyone has had that viewing pleasure. Anywho, there are no cars so everything is transported by horse and the rather small downtown area becomes quite congested and I've had people yell at me to slow down and such, but on a ride one day a young, probably drunk gentleman yelled "YEAH MARATHON!!" I've also heard, from a male, "he has a really nice butt, but I don't like his helmet." |
