Subject: A little tri humor???
Being new to the sport, I don't really have any humorous training or race stories to share yet. BUT, I bet alot of you do, and I was wondering if you'd like to share any of them. Maybe falling from the bike in front of a cute guy/gal, walking into the wrong locker room after a long swim(I've seen this done twice in the past week!), races w/ uniform on backwards or inside out, etc. You get the idea.

I try to find humor even in the crappy situations. Like my $100 parking ticket I got while training cuz I "parked on the grass". It's so silly it's funny.

Anyways, here's some funny to kick start you!

But still, Jesus would be giving up seven minutes per mile to someone that can run on water.

No, He was crucified in 33AD.  Born in 0, began His ministry in 30, died at 33...rose again 3 days later...wait, wrong thread.

Subject: RE: A little tri humor???
I fell off a threadmill on a cruise ship. It was the second day and I needed to keep up the miles as I had an upcoming half marathon. The gym was packed and of course the threadmills were all up the front. I had plenty of experience running on the road and it was years since I was on a threadmill. When I first came down I fell badly on my knee and then trying to regain my balance I put my hand back on the track only to be pushed violently backwards, landing on my back.

A very embarrising moment but quite comical. All I could do was laugh at my stupidity. I would have loved to have seen it myself. Pity it didn't happen on the last day as I was the only one in the gym on that day!!
