Subject: Best triathlon joke
Here's my nomination:

A triathlete showed up to a race on a new bike. His friends came over to admire it and asked him where he got it.
"Well," he said, "I was doing my run the other day when an absolutely gorgeous woman biked up to me and stopped. She put her bike on the ground, threw off all of her clothes, and said, 'take what you want.'"

hahahaha I hadn't heard that one yet.

There's this classic: How do you know who's the triathlete at the party? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

I thought that one was about CrossFit!

Or, the merger: If a person is vegan and does CrossFit, which one do they tell people at a party about first?

When I first heard it forty years ago it was fighter pilots.

Subject: not a joke but true story
I was web browsing the other day. I read a blog (can't mention name because I did not ask permission). The story happened before Google technology. She laid her transition stuff on the shore of the lake. When she came back for transition, her socks were there but not her shoes. Someone "stole" her shoes. She ran 6 miles uphill without shoes. She won the race (her age group). Later on she found out that the shoes were mistakenly picked up by the state Governor's (who also participated in the triathlon) security guards.

Which is "funnier" , running with just socks on or the State Governor "stole" her shoes?

YES! This is usually used as an insult to the "cult-like" atmosphere of cross fit. I definitely don't like the triathlon addition...

As an engineer, I have heard the joke this way multiple times.

Repurposing the classic University of Michigan football joke...

How many triathletes does it take to change a light bulb?
Four: One to change it, and three to discuss how it could have been done more aero.

Alternate: One to change it, and three to talk about how Macca would have done it.

He would remove the old light bulb, then stop before putting in the new one.

He would change every light bulb in the neighborhood perfectly and flawlessly and make all other lightbulb changers angry and confused. Later, he would come back in the biggest room in the biggest house when you least expect it, unscrew the lightbulb, but not finish the job, blaming the socket elevation.

As every veteran athlete can attest, a non-existent or ill planned ‘race meal plan’ will leave you falling far short of your goals or even worse, in the medical tent.
