Funny things kids say - tri edition

I was volunteering at a triathlon and this kid was on the shore with his dad, watching his mom on the swim. As she was about to come out of the water the dad says to the boy, "Hey, let's hurry over and watch the transition!" The boy drags his feet and says VERY enthusiastically, "Ughhhhhh can we just go? I don't want to watch mom lose AGAIN."

These are hilarious, I love this thread already

After training for 4 months I realized that my daughters (3 yo/5 yo) probably had no idea I was even training for anything since my weekday works out are done either before they wake up in the morning or over my lunch break from work when they would never see me anyways.  So... I decided to start telling them what I was doing so they would be interested in comping to my race and watching.  I took to the garage where my mysterious new orange bike was at and told them that it was part of a race I was going to be doing and even went out and rode it with them while they were on their hot wheels a few times so they could see it doesn't just sit in the garage all the time.  I showed them my elastic shoe laces on my running shoes (which my two oldest both happen to have on their shoes too) and shoe and showed them how fast I could put my shoes on.  When I came to breakfast 1-2 hours late on Saturday morning wearing strange stretchy cloths and a bike helmet I would tell them that I getting ready for my race. etc.  When my wet suit arrived in the mail I tried it on and went to show my daughters.  I knew my oldest was starting catch on when she asked is that for your "Triefflephon"?

Funny words from an adult child of our neighbor - we were over sitting by their pool on Memorial Day and the 21 year old was listening as her mother asked me about distances in my upcoming HIM.  I explained the answer, and the daughter asked, "Do you have to do them in any particular order?"  I tried hard not to laugh as I imagined the chaos that would result in people doing the disciplines in whatever order they desired.

A few years ago I was setting up in transition and my younger daughter Olivia, around 7 at the time, was watching everybody rack their bikes.  When I finally rejoined them she said to me, very enthusiastically, "Mom!  I saw a few people I think you can beat!"

At another tri I was walking around the start with my older daughter, then at the age of 13 or so, was beginning to appreciate the, uh, male form.  At one point a group of young men walked by with their wetsuits 1/2 way on.  She grabbed my arm and said "Mom!  That guy had an EIGHT PACK!"

Now THAT sounds like a cool race! Hm...
