Veteran  163   nearby the city of brotherly love |  Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out TrainingI was out on a training ride down the shore--figuring i'd get some sun on the ride, so I had on some shorty tri-shorts. I had some dude roll by me on the road in a convertable and give me the thumbs up. |

Elite 3088  Austin, TX Gold member | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Not really funny, more mind boggling. Had a woman honk at me because she was mad that I was in the lane. She actually pulled over where I proceeded to educate her on Texas Motor Vehicle Code and my right to ride exactly where and how I was. After destroying her "you don't belong in the street, you're blocking traffic" argument, she came back at me with "You need to get right with God." Apparently, because idiots like her are trying to run me over and kill me, I have to make sure that my relationship with God is in order. |

Member 51 Oklahoma City | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training offrhodes - 2009-07-27 12:31 PM I also like to say some funny things to others during group rides, we also need to be able to make fun of ourselves. My wife and I took the same approach at a tri this spring, as we struggled to finish. At this tri, they started all the slow pokes first in the pool, followed by the faster swimmers. Naturally, while out on the bike, the faster athletes began to pass us. After we made the turn, we would good naturedly cheer on the competitors "behind" us - "good job," "you can do it." Got a lot of weird looks, most seemed to say - don't you know I'm faster than you. |

Translation for the non-Southerners... "Go eff yourself you old bat." I seriously laughed out loud. I can picture her in my mind at this very moment. Too funny. |

| Regular 95 North Haven | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Whenever I am riding I get the kids saying, WOW Cool bike, he isnt using his legs. And then the parent s jump to shut them up, so I stop and show them how I cant walk and how the bike works. I also get the adults saying cool bike or wow that looks like fun....So I ask them if they want to hand pedal back the 30 miles I just road..lol |

| Regular 186 SW VA | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training offrhodes - 2009-07-27 12:31 PM I also like to say some funny things to others during group rides, we also need to be able to make fun of ourselves. Sometimes I wear baggies for mtn biking and when I see a guy i am riding with pull up in spandex I say "Are you going to a BBQ? Because I see your brought the sausage.". I even have my 5 year old daughter yelling "Rider!" everytime she sees someone on a bicycles (it is a joke amongst a group of my friends and it makes me smile every sing time she says it). Completely agree! I make fun of myself and other (perhaps too much) all the time. One of my favorites is from Jack Black/Nacho Libre "when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants..." I am a big fan of this one on cold days when I am wearing LONG STRETCHY pants. If we are honest with ourselves the outfits are funny (seriously one piece tri suits, full bike kits, padded spandex shorts) and most people dont GET why we do it. We get up early suffer for hours testing our metal and to them it is weird. Of anyone reading this I ask: have you ever cared what anyone else thought about your training? |

| Regular 134 Goldsboro, NC | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Once about 3 years ago (long before I started training for triathlons)...I decided to start walking around my neighborhood to lose weight. Just so happened that my dad passed me as I was walking...he turned around, came back and wanted to know where my car was...he said that if I was walking, my car sure as hell must be broken down on the side of the road somewhere! |

| Extreme Veteran 844 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training nothing really funny up to this point, some cat calls from ladies while I was out running @ work durring lunch.. I had my headphones on, but down low enough to be able to hear traffic.. I think i supprised them when I turned and said thanks/waved as I don't think they thought I could hear them.. had some kids run up next to me when I was out for a 5 mile run, they pulled up "hey man, can I run with you?" "sure" I said, doing 5 tonight you guys ready?" all but one dropped off and he stayed with me until the end of the street... saw them on the way back and got some cheers.. was quite amusing.. |

| Veteran 295 | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Pector55 - 2009-07-27 10:27 AM Funny but disturbing.. Last week I got to the pool early and the seniors were still there. Two old ladies (guessing 70's) were standing in lane one talking. One says, "you can't swim with all those muscles... you should leave those at my house." About 4 old ladies errupted in laughter. It was disturbing but at the same time, I was thinking, "good for them." I just wished it had been directed at someone else. OMG I am LAUGHING MY A** OFF at this one...my favorite by far on the whole thread....just think you have this hilarious story to tell everyone now...haha I think now I'm gonna tell everyone I know about it. Mine's not really that funny...just strange. I was stopped at a stop light and there was this guy crossing...probably homeless and drunk, but he kept saying "Pray everyday!" Pray everyday!" I finally look at him (I was trying to ignore him)...he says "be careful with the cars and pray everyday!" He was being nice I guess... |

| New user 8 Raleigh | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training My favorite is when people give you the finger and honk while driving by. I was climbing a hill when I had this happen, somehow I managed to catch the guy sitting at the next light. I pulled up next to him and said thanks for the encouragement and telling me I was number one, it was a tough hill and it helped me through. He just gave me the dumbest look then sped off. |

I shoot back that I've got an extra pair of red ones for him!! I'm gonna get him into a tri with me next year!!! You reminded me of a story that is slightly OT, but relate to your post. About 20 years ago I was captain of my ice hockey team in Northern VA. Our goalie, Jim, would always answer his phone with a different famous goalie's name, e.g., Gerry Cheevers, Bernie Parent, etc. During the season Jim got hurt and ad to sit out. We got a substitute goalie and Jim began to coach us. After each game we would meet at a bar in Old Town Alexandria. Jim always arrived first at the bar as he did not have to shower. One night I arrived just after him and he introduces me to "Clint Malarchuk." (The name of the goalie for the Washignton Capitals at the time). I reply "Nice to meet you, I'm Gordy Howe." Turns out he was Clint Malarchuk! The bar was full of Capitals. I looked like and idiot, but he was cool with it and we had a laugh. Doug |

Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training atostig - 2009-07-27 9:34 PM Once about 3 years ago (long before I started training for triathlons)...I decided to start walking around my neighborhood to lose weight. Just so happened that my dad passed me as I was walking...he turned around, came back and wanted to know where my car was...he said that if I was walking, my car sure as hell must be broken down on the side of the road somewhere! Haha. My dad once drove past me when I was out for a run. He yelled out the window, "Your mom WALKS faster than that!" The funniest thing I ever had yelled at me was rated, um, NC-17. It actually isn't funny in and of itself, but the fact that someone actually thought to say that to me, and rolled down the window and slowed down enough to get it all out was quite hysterical. |

| Extreme Veteran 601 Bainbridge Island, Washington | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training This actually happened last week. I was riding with a girlfriend of mine, and she was ahead of me. These two guys passed me and got between us, but she didn't realize it. Then they passed her, but she thought it was me. She blurted out "PECKER!!!" and then looked to see who it was lol |

| Expert 1053 Culpeper, VA | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training cusetri - 2009-07-27 11:20 AM few of my favroites from my next door neighbor: any my favorite thought, that I know they're thinking, as I ride/run by: "he may be in shape, but his lawn looks like $hit." That's hillarious... had the same thought myself this year. My grass is OK, but otherwise I haven't spent much time on mulching, weeding and other yard work this year. I don't have any funny comments to date. I get honks every now and then, but that's about it. |

| Veteran 312 Bessemer, AL | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training Yesterday I took my bike by the LBS to get a few new components. I was taking it for a spin around the parking lot (the LBS is in a little shopping center) and these 2 guys in a truck see me and like start practically breaking their necks trying to get a better look. One yells "Damn girl!!" And then I hear "Hey girl, come back!" and some other lines like that. Then after I pass them, they start driving towards me to get a 2nd look! I was like holy cow! These guys are psychos!! I quickly headed back into the bike shop to get away from the creepers. The guys in the bike shop saw the whole thing and were having a good laugh when I came flying back in the front door. |

Regular 59 Bronze member | Subject: RE: Funny Things Said to You While Out Training I definitely seem to be a magnet for comments from our local homeless fellows. Once as I was waiting at a light on my bike, one of the locals shouted out "you got it all girl, everything a man could want. Damn." I guess I do look pretty good in my bright red helmet. |
