- I forget my swim suit........AFTER I've already striped down to my trunks at the lockers. SIGH!! (this happened today)

- That one item of clothing slips from the wet and sweaty pile, some how slips out on to the clean pile I keep in the car......then everything stinks.

- I have to keep a trunk full of work out clothes (that's the majority of my wardrobe)

- I miss a work out

- I get any illness that keeps me out of action

- I rush to the gym to find out the pool is closed

- I rush out to run then realized I'd forgotten my HR strap (my tri career is over)

- I need to sleep. It takes so much precious time from my work outs

- I need to stop on the bike for highway on and off ramp traffic on one of my favorite routes

- My schedule forces me to cicycle at night. I can't take my favorite route (trail)

- I have to stop my work out for any reason other than my scheduled break/interval/set, etc.

- I pack everything but my running shoes after driving to my favorite route that's a 30min drive away

- I'm on a nice long bike ride to then realize I'd forgotten my money & ATM card when I'm cold, famished and thirsty, water bottles empty........(this happened about 3 weeks ago)

- I wake up nice & early Sunday morning, totally pyched to go on a long ride to then be reminded (as I'm slipping on my bibjohns), we (or was it she), had a full day schedule for chores, MD appointment for my daughter, time with the inlaws, etc............(back to bed)

- I go thru enough that I can actually make an "I hate it when..." list this long (yes, I've gone thru each one of these at least once)

What can you add from your experiences?

SIGH!!!!

-I rush to get to the gym to swim and realize that I left a towel at home and I haven't showered because it's early in the morning.

-I miss a workout because I have too much homework to do.

-I miss a workout because I'm sick

-I miss a workout.  

-I workout over lunch and then realize that I haven't packed nearly enough food, but being on a college campus there's nothing healthy enough to feed myself with.

-Having to run at night and being afraid to do it.

I am 22 miles into a 30 mile ride when the rear tire gets a tack in it and blows.

I forgot to pack the spare tube.

I have to call my wife to come rescue me

I have to sit by my lonesome self
