I think you should tell them the inspirational, tear-jerking story of how you overcame adversity to pay the bloodsucking active fee, because you had an Ironman dream.

That would be an EPIC tale.... epic...

The other day I was charged a "full year of ACTIVE Advantage!" at $79.95 which I did not authorize - trying to recoup that. Will probably have to speak to my credit card company. That is my story.

I always write something like: "I have no story." or "My story is boring as fuck. Move on."

I want to tell them something. Maybe I can describe my last 5 hours at work, and compare / contrast to my expected (roughly) 5 hours racing at IM Muncie. I just finished allocating the calendar 2018 annual corporate budget down to the divisional level, pending review from various levels of management.

My story, "I am doing this race (IM Tremblant) because my friend is doing it and my wife wants to hang out with his wife so I figured I may as well race while I am there."

Tell them a story about a company that was charging too much for its events and losing customers precipitously; and then slashed their prices by 25% and found that increased sales more than made up the revenue and margin!

I see what you did there!
a "2-fer"

My sister lives in Indy, and I haven't been down to visit for a few years. Muncie happens to be at the tail end of my vacation..

Im originally from peoria (not too far from Indy) and I did muncie years and years ago.
I think I blocked it out as most of the run was a walk (as have happened in a few races of mine) and i just remember that midwest heat.
Pretty sure the course/race has changed over the years.

Good Luck!

Yeah, I'm aware that it might be hot. Bike is set up on the trainer with no fans. Seems like there's a litre of sweat on the floor after an hour ride.

Use this:

In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

Just tell them you "are a triathlete" and they will tune out the rest like everyone else does.

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

Tell them that over the winter you have been working with a really ground breaking coach and doing extensive, highly scientific testing on the best crank length for your bike. Then post the link to the ST thread...

ONLY if you can attach a video of yourself doing the truffle-shuffle

Tell them you want to race an Ironman event 'clean' to see how it compares to being juiced up.

I like that one.

The "shit my pants on the run " story is #2 on the list.

Dan is always taking those poles to try and help improve registration for these races obviously Iron Man is not listening. I would simply fill it in with the words f*** you repeated about 500 times!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
But we never got the final 8472 chapters of that book. The suspense is killing me...

Tell them about your secret life as a biscuit designer
