You know you're a triathlete when...
- ... you're tempted to do your long rides in a Speedo so you don't have
tan lines for your next race.
- ... your bath towel is never dry.
- ... your hair is never dry.
- ... you have no friggin' idea what to do with yourself on your off day. I mowed the lawn, cleaned the house, washed the car, and there's still 4 hours of daylight left! Aarrgghh!
- ... you are sick to your stomach at 2 in the morning and check the
back of the Pepto-Bismol bottle for grams of carbohydrates, fat and
protein.
- ... you bring bottled water to a party so that you're properly
hydrated for the next morning's long run.
- ... everyone else at the party also brought their own bottled water
because they don't have a social life outside of triathlon. Oh yeah, and
they all showed up by 7pm and left by 10pm.
- ... you were awake for the Northridge quake (4:30 AM) because you were
out running ... and you showed up for 6 AM Masters swim workout and
wondered where everybody was.
- ... somebody hands you a cup of water and you have to restrain
yourself from pouring it on your head.
- ... you forget that talking about daily LSD [Long Slow Distance] and
speed weirds some people out.
- ... all you can think about during workout is how much fun the next
one is going to be!
- ... you fill the time between workouts with more workouts.
