"This EPO is making me thirsty".

I couldn't even finish watching that.. It made me cringe so badly. Ugh. It covers my response to this thread:

"I'm a triathlete."

.
The really sad thing for me is that as I spend more time on Bikepacking FB pages and following various Bikepacking events I find they are getting just as bad as tri-geeks.They have gone and taken simple bike touring and geeked it out to the max. :-)

Stoners geek out over specific buds, bongs, and other various paraphernalia.

Geeks will be geeks.

Doesn't matter how cool they think are.

Actually, this video was posted up in the third post of this thread, but it was worth watching again. :)

To anyone who will listen:

“I’m a triathlete”.

Nobody has said THIS yet?

I read it on Slowtwitch

The rule is that the tattoo has to be proportionate to 140.6 as 100%. You are correct, you can only get half if you do 70.3. If you do two 70.3s, your tattoo journey is now complete.

But if you do a 70.3 and then the swim is shortented by half in the second 70.3, by the triathalon tattoo rule of proportions, you can not get 1.2/70.3% filled in as it was not an official swim. No, you can't swim it after the fact to make it a full 70.3. It never happened, your PR isn't real and you don't deserve a full tattoo. Those are the rules.

How do you alert people that you're passing? Or do you never pass anyone?

I guess I’m “obnoxious” - so I say On Your Left.

And as a meh swimmer and fast cyclist, I get a lot of practice doing so.

In fact, my license plates say

Lol, classic

I mean I wasn’t actually asking the question for myself, just adding to the list of sh*t triathletes say, but thanks for the explanation? I think I disagree about it being okay to fill in the Mdot after doing 2 half IMs though

What a coincidence, I just had a fortune cookie... You cant jump a 2 meter river with two 1 meter jumps

Damn. That's a good one.

^^^ Hilarious.

I’m trying to get down to race weight.

I HATE drafting

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way.
If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Is $500 too much to spend on a trisuit?

So I'm having problems with a recent order to Love The Pain.
