Subject: Shameless self promotion
I guess its really shamefull self promotion. I can't seem to resist working triathlons into a conversation if the opportunity presents itself and I immediately feel like heel. I guess on some level I'm seeking recognition and validation for my efforts or the "Oh really? Cool." response. On the other hand I guess I'm just sharing something about myself (harmless rationalization). I heard two guys talking about tris at Subway and actually almost attempted to join the conversation. I'm just passionate that's all. Nothing wrong with that. . . . . . Right?

Of course not. Triathlon is obviously a big part of your life, why wouldn't you chat about it? It's not like you're constantly boasting but its most of our passion so why not chat about your passion that you train and race consistently throughout the year?

I hear ya! But I've come to realize that the only people who truly understand our passion ... Is other triathletes. So I only discuss if inquired.... But I would have joined in on that convo at Subway!!...can't have too many tri-friends!! :D
