(hint: time management) - You own more workout clothing than work clothing Go ahead and add to the list.........there have to be some good ones out there.  |

Extreme Veteran 555 Land of living sighs | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You compose lists proving what you already know, then seek validation from like-minded individuals?
Sorry, that was too easy. How about you shower three times a day and get frisky at the whiff of chlorine. |

Extreme Veteran 490 Michigan | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... 1. You see someone in a wheel chair, and ask, "Are those bladed spokes"? 2. You've contemplated putting a sign in front of Wal Marts bike rack that says, "GO TO LBS!" 3. When you spill on the pavement, have a severe case of road rash, and crack your helmet, the first thing you say is, "I hope *insert bikes name here* is O.K. 4. You have a tan line from your HRM. 5. You buy running shoes more often than you buy groceries. 6. When people talk about how big their engines are, you show them your freshly shaved legs and proudly declare, "Here is mine!" |

Extreme Veteran 490 Michigan | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You've thought about putting aero bars on your lawnmower so you can get to your bike ride faster! |

| New user 9 | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... Your friends tell you that you smell like chlorine but you can't smell it anymore. You complain about waking up at 5am for work/school, but gladly do it for your race on the weekend. You sleep with your bike beside your bed. Bugs don't land on your skin anymore because of all the chlorine. |

| Member 37 Valdosta, Ga | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... It's 5:30 am and you are at a pool. You have razer straight tan lines from your bike shorts and cleats. You brag to people at work about shaving 30 seconds off your time and they just nod and drink their coffee because they have no clue what you are talking about and wouldn't care if they did. |

Master 2202 St. Louis | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You wear your HRM to bed, just because you "have" to know what your RHR is. You can justify paying double because it is carbon fiber. |

| Expert 773 Alexandria, NH | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You have woken up your spouse (significant other) to tell them about the sunrise you witnessed during your bike ride. You purchased a jogging stroller before the baby was born. You have had "the talk" with your spouse about your use of the credit card and your ever growing gear collection. |

| Master 1845 Athens, Ga. | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You tell your coworkers you only had time to run two miles and they STILL look at you like you've run a marathon. And then you remember how far two miles were when you first started running. You tell your hubby you want a race for your birthday and he doesn't think it's strange. |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... The only things you asked for, for your birthday are: 1) Cycling Shorts 2) Tri Tops 3) Accel Gel 4) Cycling Jerseys You run 6 miles on a treadmill at the gym (after running 4 miles outside). You eat gels while running on the treadmill at the gym. I'm sure other people who are in there trying to lose weight are really wondering WHY I'm eating while working out. You spend 1 hour looking for new bathing suits on a Sat. before riding, but you can't seem to find the time to get your work pants to the tailor to get them hemmed up. You can't even find the time to watch a 2-hour movie during the week, because between going to work, and training, you only have 1 hour at home before it's bedtime. |

You might be a BTer triathlete if you are in the ED and your wife is taking pictures of your road rash and she has all ready posted you fell and are in ED before being treated. Check them out. http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid=6147 |

| Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... If you think `only' running, biking and swimming a few times a week isn't exercising. It happened today: 15:14:58 MR2TONY (names changed to protect the innocent) : I've been terribly unmotivated to do any type of exercise lately. I still force myself to run, bike and swim. Just don't do it with fervor anymore. 15:18:41 COWORKER IN NYC: tony...you're ridiculous. "i don't excercise anymore...i just run, bike and swim" yes, you sound like quite the couch potato Edited by mr2tony 2007-08-06 4:18 PM |

| Master 1704 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: You might be a triathlete if....... You drop a deuce (again) in the woods and think nothing of it. Of course, carrying biodegradeable toilet paper on a run/ride is pretty bizarre to most. |
