Subject: RE: You know you are officially a tri-dork when:
the other night i had a complete stranger walk up to me and say, "so i bet you're a runner." i was hoping it was my physique that led her to that conclusion (someday...someday...)

but she then said that she saw my toenails and knew immediately that they were not purple from nail polish. her boyfriend is a runner and i guess has the same toenail care tactics that i do...none whatsoever.

Oh ... one more ... then I'm going to bed (because tri-dorks go to bed at 10 on Saturday night so that they can get up at 5 a.m. on Sunday to ride the bike course for their upcoming race ...)

You know you're a tri-dork when all of your "regular" clothes come from Target or similar discount stores ... but you think nothing of plunking down big bucks for running shorts or bike jerseys ...


Guilty!.....i prefer the Old Navy sales.....or outlet stores, get regular bras at kmart because they are cheap and buy all sports stuff from last year to save $ for new bike!

Every time you save money it goes to the NEW BIKE FUND.

People ask you if you had a stressfull day at work and you say YES because your shins hurt and you don't know if you'll be able to get in a run that night.

You are dissapointed when you see you are still the last one to post on a BT forum.

Over the course of a month, you've seen the enitre decay process of roadkill 15 miles from your house.

When driving, you remind yourself (or the driver) to not get into the draft zone of the car in front of you.

How about when you pay the neighborhood lemonade stand in advance to hold out cups of water for you as you run by to simulate race situation. I'd have to confess to that one.




Totally weird, random, original thinking, clap, clap !

One of my second grade students said, "Mrs. G, I like your perfume." When I asked him about the 'perfume' (I don't wear perfume), he said he liked the smell because it reminded him of swimming at the pool!

  • ...as women, we spend more for sports bras that we only wear for a couple hours, than the ones we wear all day! (that goes for shoes and shorts too!)


  • Hey wait ... I DO wear my sports bra all day ... I can't ever find the other ones because my sports bras take up too much room in the drawer!

    You wake up at 4:30 before your 6am swim and start calculating distance and the breakdown mechanics of your stroke - then you can't go back to sleep, so you swim at 5am.

    You start thinking about how you can organize a triathlon company challenge with relay teams... and you try to figure out who would take on what part of the realy team.

    Of course, this is somewhat feasible when you have 3 people who are triathletes... but you also realize they need to be on seperate teams, because they are the only ones with road bikes.

    That SUCKS that he didn't put on there himself. That would have been cool if it was his!

    Exactly! I was thinking about doing the same!!!

    I already have my alarm clock on the other side of the room so when I get up to hit snooze, I have to get OUT of bed. Now I'll be already to just go!

    I said I "nearly" called it off... turns out he's a sweety, who called me the day of my first tri to see if I survived.  He's perplexed by my willingness to beat myself up like this... but is pretty supportive.  I don't have the heart to tell him to lose the IM sticker.

    Hey wait, I was going to do that tonight when I am camping so I can get up and go without disturbing the family in the tent.

    It's 7:30 in the morning, and you've already showered three times: Once after riding 7 miles to the gym to go swimming, then after swimming so you don't smell bleachy during your 3 miles on the treadmill, then again after another 7 miles on the bike back home.

    You're out for a ride and there is a car pulled over to the right with someone looking out it ready to re-enter traffic and you yell "on your left!"

    You notice that the city swept the street you drive up all the time, only because last time you rode it, there was lot's of crap in your way, that's now gone.

    You're not only excited by how fast you go down a hill, but more so by how fast you went UP the hill!
