Du weißt, du bist Triathlet, wenn... Teil 2

Nachdem ich mich vorhin mal wieder köstlich über diese Liste amüsiert habe, bin ich im Netz auf eine Weitere gestoßen.

Viel Spaß

You Know You're a Triathlete if...

  • You can have a serious conversation with a member of the opposite sex about nipple chafe.

  • You consider the debate over of draft legal racing one of the most important issues of our time.

  • You are actually interested in the mile by mile recap of the fairly innocuous question.... “So, how was your race?”

  • You check the race schedule before planning your next family vacation.

  • You answer the question: “So, how much do you workout?” with: “Oh, twice a day,if I have the opportunity”

  • You say you went to a race last weekend...and when a friend responds "Running or biking?" you are again forced to explain....

  • The idea of bonking is, in some strange way, slightly appealing.

  • A three-hour brick workout is a refreshing break form your normal workout regimen.

  • You know the exact day “Inside Triathlon” arrives in your mailbox.

  • You buy a new bike more often than you buy a new car.

  • Your idea of a romantic evening is to snuggle with your sweetie, sip Gatorade and watch a video of Ironman Hawaii...and you cry at the end.

  • You have been known to scale the fence of a closed pool and swim laps very early in the morning.

  • You can use the words "hammer" and "brick" in a conversation that has nothing to do with construction.

  • You only tackle home improvement projects during taper weeks.

  • You are convinced that if you rest more than one day, your muscles will atrophy and everyone in your age group will beat you.

  • You are sick to your stomach at 2:00 in the morning and you check the Pepto Bismol bottle for caloric content.

  • Your bed-time reading material consists of a pile of: Inside Triathlon; Triathlete, VeloNews, Runners World, etc.

  • You can't decide what tee shirt to where to your next race

  • You think about having sex, but you don't want it to effect your morning run splits.

  • You wear your bathing suit under your work clothes to make a fast transition from work to swim on your lunch hour.

  • Somebody hands you a cup of water and you have to restrain yourself from pouring it on your head.
