Guilty of this! We came home from fireworks after the 4th of July and I hopped on my trainer, despite the fact that I had to crawl down the stairs to get to it. Apparently I brought a growler and a pint glass as well. It's a fuzzy memory, but my wife and friends still laugh about it.

when planning a family vacation, you subtly steer the discussion toward locations near the ocean and/or mountains.

your wife refuses to come on "race holidays", if she let's you go at all

(I wanted to do IMNZ Brasil and tried to sweeten the deal by saying we could go to Machu Pichu (sp?) after the race. It's on her bucket list but she quickly figured I'd be too exhausted to walk 40+km up hill to over 14,000 feet after an IM. She's no dummy)

Man up! Consider the IM a warm-up for the climb. Recovery hike. Piece of cake.

Your toddler prefers drinking from one of your many hydration bottles lying around instead of a baby bottle or sippy cup.

Anbody that has time for an affair much less one relationship isn't serious about triathlon.

I hear ya, I hear ya, but TriSpouse has 2 married ears.

Besides, I was only ever MOP so a recovery hike to 14,000 feet wouldn't be much recovery, certainly with not my arthritic hips, my asthma and my various heart conditions. :-(

You spend more on tri suits and cycling shoes than you do on dress shirts and dress shoes.

You actually know the names of professional triathletes and pay attention to the pro results.

You spend idle time in traffic thinking of how you'd design a "better" tri bike.

Your dream vacation is a week at a wind tunnel with every piece of equipment under the sun.

Your post count on Slowtwitch is well into the thousands.

Edited to add:

If you see a faster cyclist than you, you say to yourself "but he probably swims as well as a fish can walk"

If you see a faster swimmer than you, you say to yourself "but I bet he can't break an hour in a 40k TT"

If you see a faster runner than you, you say to yourself "probably a terrible swimmer"

If your bike is worth 6 times more than your car.
Almost $12k into my p3.

So funny and so timely...this happened to me yesterday 0.75 miles in...it took about 2 miles of arguing with myself but I was at least able to convince myself to do the workout.

But surely you could have a beer or two after your workout???

Haha - I think you're fine as long you keep the two separated. As long as you dont mix your bike and spouse up to much, you should be fine - sort of :)

I'm notoriously "frugal", and it's nice when at the peak of training, I get a serious buzz from two beers.
