Pro  4578    Vancouver, BC |  Subject: RE: Do you call yourself a triathlete?Yeah call yourself you want. I called myself a triathlete when speaking with a doctor and a podiatrist, however I don't plan on calling myself one in the near future as I am not planning on doing any triathlons in the near future.

Last year when my son was in 5th grade they had to do a newspaper and one of the sections was My Hero. He wrote how I trained all the time and did races and that I was his hero and a triathlete. Made my day, year and Heck century for that matter. |

Regular 82 Chicago, IL | Subject: RE: Do you call yourself a triathlete? Well Stu... Tell him to stick it. If you put the time in, you're a triathlete. I'm not worthy of the title yet... Maybe after 4 straight months of training I'll dub myself a "beginner" triathlete. But I wouldn't say that in most crowds.  |

| Expert 1085 New Orleans, LA | Subject: RE: Do you call yourself a triathlete? Man, when I finish my first, I plan to call myself a "triathlete" to anyone that will listen. Hell, I will probably even get t-shirts printed. I will have no problem calling myself a triathlete - I think my blood, sweat and bruises will have earned the right. |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: Do you call yourself a triathlete? I sort of think of it like this... If I'm actively training and I'm planning to race in an upcoming season.... then I'm a triathlete. If I have not raced in a year... and am not training for a specific event... even just 1 race... then I'm no longer a triathlete. Then, I've done some triathlons. I think it's the combination training/racing aspect that makes a person a "triathlete". I don't go out of my way to call myself anything, quite honestly... verbally... I do have a license plate holder that says "Triathlete" and I will retire it when/if I stop racing.
