Brag-y. You must be new here.

tribeer, you're a woman?! this is my shock of the day. this is not at all the mental image i would have had. based soley on the screen name, i've always kind of imagined the homer simpson version of a triathlete....but, what do i know, i'm just a lurker ;)

And yet, an entire thread about yourself. Triathletes are very predictable sometimes.

"That night I had a dream. I dreamt I was as light as the ether."

I thought the emotive language in my ST responses would've given me away long ago.

Yep, I'm sorta old and an emotional woman. :)

Yeah, I should have predicted there would be so many asshole responses instead of actual info. If I hadn't provided mine you would have called me a pussy for not giving my answers :)

Her thread was not about herself. She requested other profiles and wants to learn more about her fellow tri-buddies. :)

my husband is a roadie also. comes in Very helpful. I'm the odd duck out. Super laid back (IMO). OCD people Stress Me Out.

hours training/week: dunno. I'd have to check my logs at BT but I'm too lazy to do that. Guessing 10-20 depending on what I'm training for?
main tri distance you race: IM and HIM and sprint. Haven't done an Oly yet. 2 sprints, 2 HIMs and going on 2 IMs so I guess this is accurate for "main" distance.
bike: a red
coffee isn't a craving. It is like air. Necessary for life.
hours of sleep 5-6.
introvert
thing you check out first on other triathletes: what they're wearing.
guilty pleasure that undermines your training, but you can't/don't want to give it up: Food. Maybe training too. But prolly food mostly.

Being "super laid back" must help during a race.

hmmm.... i guess, I dunno. Not sure why/if it would be preferable. It just Is. maybe I've misplaced my sarcasm filter?

go back, read her post, and come back and report what % of the post was about others.

Look, I'm as self-absorbed as the rest of you. I'm just not afraid to admit it.


It reminds me of a Simpsons episode. Crime has taken over Springfield. A home security salesman appears at the Simpsons door, and gives Homer a tour of the inside of his home, describing all the problems with Homer's lack of security. When the tour is finished, the two of them make it to the front door. Homer asks, "How much is this going to cost me?" The salesman replies with a quote in the thousands of dollars. Homer gasps!

Salesman: "You can't really put a price on your family's security Mr. Simpson."

Homer: "True, true. And yet, here we are."



And yet, here we are.

So far the only thing I get from this thread is that, regardless of age, women are emotional. But I knew they already. :)

I reread the post: "and I'm curious about the groups'."

The OP's intent was to get other profiles. Let's see yours. :)

"women are emotional"

And we're proud of this fact! It keeps you ST guys in check.

it's always good to have a refresher ;)

what i've gathered from this is that women enjoy knowing more personal details about the people they associate with and men are incapable of answering seriously without resorting to jokes.

(while it sounds like this is meant bitchily, it's not. it actually is just a real observation)

Good for you for at least recognizing that trade-off; somehow I see too many folks with a huge blind spot there and they are annoying as shit to be around.

I'd consider myself way more laid-back... Tri definitely checks in after family, home, beer/whiskey (actually more tequila during the warm season), and the wifey's naughty bits on the list of priorities. I can get dialed in on a big goal race for a season or two (and rack up other races in the process) but then the focus will ebb again for a season or three. Biking is pretty much the only leg I actually just enjoy doing for fun (especially off-road), the other two are work towards some end even if it's only minimal maintenance fitness, but if I could keep drinking good beer without gaining any weight I'd probably bag the extra training. I'm not one of those who gets all antsy just sitting around watching TV and drinking and HAS to DO something, or else... in fact I enjoy relaxing like that and wish I could afford to do more of it; whether it's football on Saturdays with my college homies or movies with the wife & nature shows with the kids, etc. I do like the feeling of progress/improvement that goes with training, but if I'm not acutally training for something then I don't crave just the activity, other than I also like playing outside too (climbing, paddling, backpacking, etc) so being out of shape handicaps those other fun activities.

So I notice in your OP you went with 'whisky' - i.e., the Scotch spelling, but then subsequently add the 'e' as in the North American variant... just sloppiness, or any distinct pref?

On the other hand, I am OCD enough to go back and edit posts to fix grammar & punctuation and add disclaimers like this one, so I'm not that laid back...

Can you describe exactly how and when it is overused, and give an example in a sentence, please?

PS- Please reply directly to this post so that the fonts are all the same and all that. Please.

"What do you mean your running shoes don't match your bike?"

and more bang per buck in those 16-20 hours of training

This is so lame.

Generally just being nosey and keeping a catty eye on the competition.


Women constantly list 'sense of humour' at the top of the favoured attribute pile. Now you complain about it. We can't do anything right. I already knew that as well though. Ok, ok, I'll go and mow the lawn now .....

You also tricked me into reading your blog. It's listed in your signature on a triathlon forum, has a reading list containing running books and triathlon biographies, a menu button listing 'Training and Racing, a bucket list of races you wish to complete. And the home page? ...... 400 baby pictures.

Cute kid by the way ..... babies pretty much all look fat cheeked ugly and covered in some form of crust to me, so that's a compliment.
