the back of your car contains all your regular tri gear--and a transition stand--everyday.

I keep my swim bag in the back of the car all time in the event I can slip out early from work and get in a swim on the way home before dinner. 

I also have a separate gym bag just in case the weather is bad and the pool is closed.

You're Gliding your nether regions in a parking lot prerun, and wonder why people are looking at you weird. "Uh, no, it's not deoderant." Move along.

My F150 pick-up is ALWAYS completely loaded with ALL my necessary Tri and spearfishing gear, including the two 15ft kayaks on top for me and MaryLotus

Swim bag, running bag, 6-pack of Gatorade in the trunk, energy bars in the glove box, large beach towel to put between sweaty me and the seats all the time.  And I'm just a beginner . . .

Heh, I'm a beginner and close to that.

Swim bag. Gym bag for lifting, a pair of five fingers for running, a towel and a couple gus in the back just in case I'm getting off work early, haven't eaten yet and want to do smething extra.

You do more athletic gear laundry than any other laundry.

You carry more athletic gear than work bags.

People at work barely recognize you without your running gear on.

Yeah, I think I might be a dork. :-)

you do training rides with BOTH an aero helmet AND a disc wheel. And it's possible that maybe just doing one of those on a training ride may qualify for dorkmanship. I'm not 100% sure.

You have more Perpetuem, gels, and shot blocks on your kitchen counter than actual food of any kind.

 

If you've ever showered with a wetsuit.

 

You own more running shoes than all other kinds combined (except bike shoes).

When the number of stickers on your car starts to block your view out the rear window.

Someone asks you: "How long a triathlon is?" and you want to go into the extended explanation of "Well, a triathlon can be several different lengths. First there is a Sprint......" totally ignoring the glassed over eyes of the person you are now talking to.

You think it's totally natural to keep your bike rack in the hitch of your car at all times, no matter what, even if you aren't biking that day (this one hits home to me pretty hard).

You completely understand the following:

FOA > FOP > MOP > BOP > DFL > DNF > DNS

Hmm.. I only keep my water gun inventory in my trunk so my wife doesn't throw them away. 

However, running shoes go from "running only" to "occasional running, some casual wear" to "casual only" to "grass cutting shoes".

Your "bathroom reading" is Coggan & Allen's "Training and Racing with a Power Meter" instead of "The National Enquirer"

You regularly mention in conversation a friend who lives in Bali (or Australia), who you've never actually met Laughing

At first I thought, "Oh boy, what a mistake!" Let’s face it, I could barely run half a mile, I had not swum in forever, and my biking skills were not great, to say the least.

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.
