that's way too funny

like the person, who after being told I was training for a half ironman, asked me "what's the other half?"



I have to ask? Was that person blonde?

LOL- some people are too funny- But I guess I may have been the same way a while ago.
I was at the dentist the other day... a few days after my first sprint tri.
Dentist says " I saw you biking the other day" I say " Yeah- Im doing a couple triathlons this summer"
Dentist " So does that involve swimming?"
"yes"
"and running?"
"yes"
"and biking?"
"yes"
"but doesnt it sometimes involve something else too?
"Uh- I dont think so"
LOL- like maybe throw on some rollerblades for a few miles
Just funny- cuz you think of dentists as such educated people!

CitySky - 2006-07-22 3:27 PM So I mentioned to someone that I do triathlons, and he asked a bunch of questions about races... including, "so, how do you audition for those things?" Heh.

You should have old him the auditions are Thursday nights at Memorial park. Please bring bike and running shoes.

I'm a 240lb super-clyde.  At work the other day, a co-worker said, "You're doing triathlons?  How can you do that at your size?"  Without missing a beat, I replied, "The same way I do your wife at this size."

After eplaining what a triathlon is to my Mom, she asked how my bike rides go. "You were really bad at riding, you know, wobbling left and right, not know how to balance..."  That was the exact description of when I first learn to ride on a bicycle, at age 11. 

My mom does know how to ride a bike, cannot float in water, and the closest thing to running is brisk walking.  But at least she knows I can swimm pretty well

Tell them they have to wear a tutu, dance around and sing, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, so pretty and witty and gay!!!"  

After they do that the triathlon evaluators will call them back for a "casting couch interview."

my family also thinks triathlon=marathon.  i just smile and nod

my favorite, while explaining that I did an Olympic distance tri a few weeks ago to some coworkers:  "You're in the OLYMPICS?". 

i thought i would die laughing.  later.  once they were gone
