Elite  2915    New City, New York |  Subject: My wife already thinks I'm nuts,but if I start doing some of the stuff I've seen suggested on this site she'll definately have me committed. Here are some of my favorites: 1) Spending $4000 on a bike (that I might get away w/ if she gets $4000 in diamonds!) 2) Getting up before 5:00 am to work out (I'd better walk the dog while I'm up) 3) Shaving my entire body (who knows, maybe she'd enjoy that one) 4) Taking an ice bath (can't imagine there would be ANY benefit to her for this one) and finally, 5) freezing my beer (other than the accidental "quick chill" that I left in too long.) To all of you fanatics, I thank you for making me look semi-additicted. Now excuse me while I run over to the tri-shop for new pair of shorts, goggles, tri-bars, belt and some Gu! There must be some I missed that others found a "little odd" - plz share, Mark |

Master 1661 Newbury Park, CA | Subject: RE: My wife already thinks I'm nuts, $4000 in diamonds. For my $1700 bike I had to gut the master bathroom and bedroom. New tile, carpet vanity, paint. Then she got to go shopping. I'd say you are getting off easy. Plus she won't even let me bring my bike in the bed!!! |

Pro 3906 St Charles, IL | Subject: RE: My wife already thinks I'm nuts, Using your vacation time to go do Tris. Planning vacations by looking at what swimming/biking/running you can do in the area. Looking to see whether there are any races when/where you are going on vacation. Dragging your friends and family up at 5am to come watch you for the 5 minutes you spend in the T area during the race. I'm sure there are more...  |

Expert 1535 Coeur D'alene, ID | Subject: RE: My wife already thinks I'm nuts, Being the only one in the family who is happy when if the weather is a bit cooler than usual in the summer. No one else understands the significance of riding the same 25 mile bike ride 2 minutes and 13 seconds faster than you did last week. You take pleasure and great pride in workouts that 99% of the population thinks you should have a psych evaluation for doing. Actually eating something called GU. And, to echo Dave and Chris, talking about bloody nipples with a straight face and planning vacations around Tri's and workouts....guilty on all counts your honor!! |

Master 2346 Dayton, Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: My wife already thinks I'm nuts, hahaha These are *so* true! I'll be honeymooning in Hawaii in September, and I tried my best to get there in time for the sprint tri on Oahu on Sept. 19th, but I just couldn't work out the timing. Is it insane to want to do a tri on one's honeymoon?? I think it might be. Kelly |
