Saying "I've had big T.I.T.S. this summer.  You should see the bruises on my azz and my tan lines" seems perfectly appropriate.

(posting the pic, still not appropriate)

You never have any money for a cute new outfit because you spend every extra cent on tri gear.

When you see nothing wrong with dropping several hundred dollars on tri/race related things (cloths, food, ect) but cring at the mere thought of paying retail on a new pair of jeans.

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




This. My collection of Asics ranges in hue from pearly white/teal to brown/green. Same goes for my husband. At any time there are 6-8 pairs of running shoes strewn about the house.

You abandon a long love affair with reading fiction to read all things endurance sport related! Amazon takes me straight to running, swimming biking recommendations due to my previous activity.

Just started Maffetones Big book of endurance and racing at the gym tonight on the bike after closing Running Ransom Road.

You arrive at the office and still have the goggles marked on your face

You arrive at the office and somebody says "it smells like chlorine" (I shower after swimming, but apparently the smell not always goes away)

You pee on yourself and, sometimes, while talking to another grown up

And that morning = about the time they might be coming home from the pub so you can get your long run in before the load of other stuff you are gonna have to do.. all the while just wanting to crawl into bed coz you've run to the point of everything that can ache... aches.

I used T.I.T.S in a post a few days ago. The post got deleted. The mods are fun

A big tell for me is...

When your towel doesn't have time to fully dry between showers.

^^^ This one is soooo true at my house. In fact, this morning I got up to shower and my towel was so damp it was gagging. But that's what I get for taking a shower last night at 9:00 and again this morning at 5:00.

My wife said that maybe I should start haning my towels outside over the deck railing. Maybe then I would actually use a dry towel. LOL.

When you just finish your morning swim and purposefully park in the middle of the hot parking lot at work so that you can spread your towel out inside your car so it will be dry by the time you leave work and ready for the next swim session.

When someone says "Oh you got new sneakers" and then you explain to them that, no, they are your running sneakers, they just look nicer than your usual shoes because you ONLY wear them while you run. The only reason you are wearing them now of course is because your day-to-day sneakers were so covered in mud and grass clipping that you had to wash them and they are still not dry yet.

This is a good one, I actually installed a second towel rack in my bathroom, have two towels at any time hanging and drying.

I'm also lucky to have a large office and have two towels there as well.

That's not bad, What does FOA mean?  I have a feeling I'm missing an easy one.

 

You feel lazy if you only did one workout for the day...

You get excited when you log a workout, and look at the data gathered during it.

Your coworkers think you're insane, and you embrace it.

You're happy that the gear in your car is worth more then your car.

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.
