Extreme Veteran 570 | Subject: RE: You know you are officially a tri-dork when: You're at a concert with your girlfriend and you really dig the song. You set the timer on your watch and count the beats to see if it's close to 90 bpm because you want to add it to your running play list. For your birthday, instead of gifts, you ask family members to pay registration fees for races.

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: You know you are officially a tri-dork when: You analyze every runner you see while driving to see if they are evolution/chi/pose running or not. Ditto with cyclists to see if they are spinners or mashers / maintaining good form. Jewel has Clif bars on sale (right now!) 10 for 10 bucks and you buy 10 and now you are out. 2 days later. (Carrot Cake - yum!) You talk to a friend you haven't talked to in about 6 months and he asks what's new and you say "I've got a big race on Sunday." and then he says "didn't you have a kid recently?" and you say "Oh yeah, Josh is 4 months old."

Expert 938 Haddam, CT | Subject: RE: You know you are officially a tri-dork when: christyr1978 - 2006-08-08 12:58 PM When you go through the checkout at the grocery store with a full cart of food, and someone asks you how many kids you have, and compliments you for feeding them such healthy food. You then respond with, "Um, I'm single. This is all for me..." They proceed to make comments about your size and say things like, "You can't be serious. Surely at your size you don't eat much!" Some people will just never understand the cost of combining a high metabolism with triathlon training... This has happened to my husband and I more than once, especially because we only do the "big" shopping every 3 weeks or so. When we wheel up with (often) 2 carts, the supermarket people laugh, we laugh, the person behind us in line looks horrified. Moreover, two years ago I purchased a 5-seater Honda CRV, which with darling husband, dog, and triathlon gear BAREly fits anything else. I'm going to have to get a bigger vehicle when children become part of the picture; either that, or strap them to the roof.

New to triathlon this year. Watched 2005 Kona last week. Cried three times. Told my wife that I would rather stay up and watch the 14-17 hour finishers for IMLP while chatting with friends than go to bed with her. When I left my house at 9:00pm to watch the last hours of IMAZ my wife thought I was cheating on her! She didn't believe me when I said I wanted to go and cheer on the final finishers. |

Don't know how that will go over. Is that terrible? LOL! just remember to take the BC pills and keep on training! Do your first ironman and then compare childbirth/labor to the race on BT in your race report. |

That's funny, Steph and I were discussing this topic today as we passed a billboard touting the $51mm kitty. Sigh...I can only imaging bringing home roughly $25mm after-tax, quiting banking to become a full-time Age Grouper. Talk about a Walter Mitty syndrome. Chap |

Out of the maybe 10 phone numbers I saved in my UK mobile, 4 were tri people, 1 was Up & Running in Belfast, and one was the Queen's PE Centre, and one was the bike rental place. |

Master 1924 Denver | Subject: RE: You know you are officially a tri-dork when: .....when you give away a bed on Craigslist (yesterday) and the nice guy who comes to pick it up at your house asks if you've just done a triathlon.... Ummm.DUH ! I am scratching my head wondering how he knew as we hadn't walked past my bikes in the basement yet to get the bed. I asked him pointedly how he knew and he told me (as I cringe inside) "your legs still have marker on them ("BT" on the right calf and my ago on the other). I was re-inserted into Dorkdom. So what did we do next, as he is trying to secure the bed on his SUV and get his kid back home for bed time ? Talk about his HIM and Sprint races that he did last year for an hour plus on the driveway ! His son did a kiddy tri too, but he wasn't impressed as his eues looked like they were glassing over at 9:15 pm |
