Shop guy:So are you going to be riding flat courses or a lot of hills. Girl: I plan on a lot of hills Shop guy:We should probably change out your cassette then this one is pretty aggressive Girl: You don't need to I plan on using my Ipod. I think I peed a little while laughing. Ok I know I did. I choked on my water while I read that. |

I blankly look at her momentarily stunned and confused only to respond with: Holy crap! Monique! I didn't recognize you with clothes on! Blushing now... Hi sweetie... this is my triathlon coach! So embarising... How long were you in the dog house for that one?  |

"Another half marathon a month before my A-race? That's plenty of time to recover...no way will I peak early" - PR'd the first one, bombed the second 3. "I have to meet someone in 2 hours for a track workout...sure I have time for Qdoba" 4. "Xterra can't be THAT much harder" 5. "How hot can the 'Extra Hot' Warming cream really be?" 6. Thinking that wiping said cream off my hands with a towel was adequate before adjusting the 'boys'.

Extreme Veteran 454 Denver CO | Subject: RE: Dumbest thing you've said as a triathlete.... to myself while trying to change my first flat tire: "I patched the hole in the tire, why isn't blowing up?" I had put the patch kit over the hole, on the outside of the tire. I didn't even KNOW there was a tube in there, let alone a punctured tube that I was hopelessly trying to inflate! |

So embarising... I had this happen to me. I was a lifeguard in high school. Classes started again and I ran into one of my fellow guards while walking down the hallway between classes: Me: Hi R! R (confused looking): Hi.... Walks off R (turns around and yells loudly): Oh Erin! I didn't recognize you with your clothes on! We both turn bright red and bust up laughing as the hallway around us is instantly silent upon his words. |

Later, at mile 2 of the run, she blew past me like I was walking.... you have to watch out for those kids. I had several grudge match 5ks with a 12 year old few years back. Right when you think you have them, they find an extra gear. |

Member 1699 | Subject: RE: Dumbest thing you've said as a triathlete.... My brother was swimming a lot and wanted to get in better cardio shape so decided to do a triathlon. He convinced me to do it as well. I had run 5K's and 8K's before and cycled off and on. While I was rehabbing a knee injury, I figured I was in far better shape than he was, since he was probably 60 pounds overweight. I warned him, "Brother, I'll do it, but I am going to smoke you." Oops, he beat me by 30 seconds the first race and four minutes the second. I have beaten him once in a triathlon in the three events we have entered together, and he had mechanical problems on the bike and cramps on the run. Trash talk is great until you cannot back it up. |
