When planning a family vacation you spend more time finding local pools and races then actually planning the vacation

You can recite from memory how many calories you had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and break them down into fat, carb and protein ratios but can't balance your check book

You have and use enough tech clothing to do an entire load of delecates

When looking for a new home, your primary criterea was proximity to nearby riding and running routes

You consider your bike on its trainer a major piece of furnature and don't understand why your wife gets upset with you for leaving it set up in the living room.

You have ever smelled fresh bleached clothes and been turned on

You walk into a resturant and say I'll have the right side of the page.  And your not joking.

You have more bikes then cars.

You take out a loan to buy your bike.

and you even bought the over-priced sports wear detergent to try to get rid of the smell they get after a while. 

When you go on vacation you pack more bike shorts than nice clothes.

Sub zero, 100+ degrees, or exceedingly windy days are seen as an opportunity to train under adverse conditions and are seen as big positives while sane people are dressed or sheltered accordingly.

When an actual entry in your blog reads, "Work was so crazy today, the only lunch I had time for consisted of a gu and a peppermint patty."

When your husband tells you he'll take you anywhere you want for your 20th wedding anniversary and you find a bike trip to Greek Islands to go on and now packing involves what athletic wear to bring, if I should bring my wetsuit, and how much training can I get in? We leave next week!

We have more bikes than people in our family and seem to be buying a new bike every couple months as I get more of my family to join in in my triathlon lifestyle.

When the last round of the Masters has taken backseat to tracking the bib numbers of the BTers at IMAZ(now to most people thats not much difference but to me who grew up on a golf course and even considered going pro its a big big big change. the Masters is to golf what Kona is to triathlons)

When 40F and raining and you think "good cool day for a hard run"

When your SO asks "You're actually going to run in this weather?" and your bewildered response is "why not?"..........and you mean it.

When you really need new jeans but you'd rather save the money for running shoes, running shorts, gu, a new swimsuit. When you complain about visiting your brother b/c the almost 10-hour round trip will cut into your training time.

You find ways of stretching and work out while playing with your kids

You never eat dinner at the table so you can stretch while eating on the living room floor......and your kids are getting into it too

Tell me about it- I'm dealing with all the out-of-towners, bad drivers, and tournament traffic this week.  Sigh...

When you keep reading about "masters" in Augusta and honestly think it's like some sort of Master's Swim tournement until you read the end of that post.
