You're proud of your funky tan lines.

We went out to the lake with some friends for some tubing and skiing last Friday. My friends were amazed at how distinct my arm and leg tan lines were. I was proud. Very proud. -Joel

You smile when somebody tells you to, "Go jump in a lake!"

-When you will pay $200 bucks to race but only $39 for your hotel room

When you are standing in line to buy beer on a late sunday afternoon and you realize the clerk thinks its a bit odd you are sopping wet with sweat, wearing spandex and have numbers written all over your body....but then again he did just see you check out of that scary 39 dollar a night hotel across the street...Tongue out

Pretty much yes to all of the above.  This is too funny.

-------> How about, you just get done with the worst, effing most hard race of your life, vowing, swearing, insisting to anyone who will listen you will not do it again and a week later are trolling Tri Find dot com and BT's race find to look for another one..........

When you check out every body of water (whether it be a ditch, lake, river, etc) you pass and judge whether or not it would be a great place to get in a training swim.


Now that is a good one! I wonder what's in there, how deep is it? What will I catch? So true.

How about if you keep a few gels, glucose tablets and a cliff bar in your bag in case you get a little episode of low blood sugar on the bus while on your way home from work. Ok, well, maybe that's just me.

You track e-coli levels of a body of water in the days before a race to determine if it's "on". Gross, I know.

When you have plans to go somewhere with your family but you have a long bike ride planned and you leave a couple of hours early and let them pick you up half way to their destination.

When you work weekends and you tell your boss you'll be late Sunday because you are racing, but its JUST a sprint, so you'll be fine.

When teenage boys ask you if YOU ever stop eating.

You have to run the dishwasher because you are running out of sports bottles for your long run in the morning.

You smell faintly of chlorine most of the time

You finish a long run in the morning, and find your significant other still in bed and have to fight over who gets the shower frirst

At the dinner table everyone is drinking out of glass, and you're drinking out of a water bottle. 

When you're bringing the family to the beach and packing the van you make sure to bring your wetsuit and a stop watch.

Your laundy basket is FULL of dirty clothes, but all your tri outfits are clean and neatly hanging to dry. 

When a 1/3rd of your daily intake consists of perpetuem, myoplex shakes, gels and Clif bars.

When more than half your day is spent in materials made of spandex, polyster and polypropylene.

You have multiple sticks of Bodyglide, in multiple locations (bathroom, garage, car, gym bag)
You have every flavor of GU, neatly organized in your little GU beanie
You build a racking system for your gear, and it is more organized than your kitchen
Your bike gets cleaned more than your car
Your workout clothing has to dry out before you can put it in the laundry hamper
Your workout clothes take up the spare bathroom (see entry above for wet; clean ones are hung on the shower rod)
There is no shortage of cereal bars in your upper left desk drawer (saw this on a few other folks' lists)
You rotate training wardrobes just like your wife does her summer/winter clothes
Your kids know that pancakes or waffles will immediately follow Daddy's long ride on Saturday morning, so they look forward to Daddy's long ride!
Your wife knows what's on the training schedule just by the technical shirt you've chosen...the "Go Hard or Go Home" shirt tells her it's interval day, the Umstead Marathon shirt means it's hills day in Umstead, the ATT 10-miler shirt means it's LSD on the Tobacco Trail...

OMG......LOL - that is sooo me!    One of these days, a co-worker is going to walk in on me when I am trying to shake out the hard to get water from my ear!

You start to think of getting dressed and out the door after the morning shower/shave, etc. as T1.
