You Might Be A Triathlete If…
1. You have trouble keeping lunch under 2,000 calories.
2. You usually wake up at four in the morning but don’t get to work until after nine.
3. You have a $4,000 bike strapped to the roof of a $2,000 car.
4. You’re always wet! Either sweat, pool water, bath water or it’s raining during your ride!
5. You know you could make a killing at Jeopardy if only the categories were: past winners of Hawaii Ironman, leg shaving techniques, the aerodynamics of racing wheels and gastrointestinal problems during long runs.
6. You return from vacation more exhausted than when you left.
7. You haven’t bought new work clothes in two years but you own running and bike shorts by every manufacturer under the sun.
8. Your car has at least one energy bar wrapper and two spare sets of work out clothes.
9. You ask your sister and your girlfriends for shaving advice.
10. You start the day with a protein shake, have a latte and muffin after the commute, then head out with your coworkers for a mid-morning bagel and cream cheese snack.
11. Somebody hands you a cup of water and you have to restrain from pouring it over your head.
12. Your laundry continually smells like someone locked the cat in overnight.
13. You are tempted to do your long bike ride in a speedo so you don’t have a tan line at your next race.
14. Your breakfast consists of enough bagels that the bagel guy hands you a freezer bag with your order.
15. You leave the house in the morning with a swim bag on one shoulder, bike on the other, a change of clothes in another bag and your running stuff in another in case you can squeeze in a run on your lunch hour.
16. You bring a water bottle to the party so you’re properly hydrated for the next morning’s long run.
17. You show up at the neighborhood pool on your bike in a speedo and embarrass your teenage daughters.
18. You wear your bathing suit under your work clothes to make a fast transition from work to swim on your lunch hour.
19. You forget that talking about mileage, long slow distance and speed bores your coworkers.
20. You feel like you took the day off because all you did was swim 3,000 yards.
