maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

Yea, the 45 hours is just what is spent behind the counter working the store during business hours, of course I do alot more while it is not open.

I think she's asking if you are really 18 and own a business. I was thinking the same thing but didn't ask. I guess now I have.

Oh sorry, but yes.

• gender: M

• hours training/week: 11-16

• job/hours: Sales director, 60. 100K+ flight miles/year

• favorite of the three disciplines: THE BIKE

• least favorite: swim because I don't do it enough and I can not stand water below 85, or air temps below 80.

• main tri distance you race: New this year, but have done all distances at least twice- except the full which I will do next week. Next year I will focus on sub-5 1/2

• bike: FELT DA1 Di2

• OCD, scale of 1 to 10: 10

• comfort with risk, scale of 1 to 10: for balls out stuff, adventure stuff (except anything to do with jumping from height), 8. As a "gambler", 2

• biggest food craving: salt, ribeyes, good beer

• hours of sleep avg/night: 7

• introvert/extrovert: Extrovert. Love to see what people are up to. Double major Ant/Soc and I'm in sales.......
  

• thing you check out first on other triathletes: bike, shoes

• guilty pleasure that undermines your training, but you can't/don't want to give it up: sleep, and good beer (this has been a craving of late. 2/day. body asks for it)

• Feel free to add other things you think would be interesting to know about the group: I watch streaming vidy of Ironman finishes whenever they are going on and get very emotional about it. I feel really guilty about my training. I am either gone on a plane, gone on a bike, or gone on a run- BUT, I have not missed a single football game for either of my kids. But, at the end of the day, I don't think anyone would really find me all that interesting as compared to the next guy.

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

Thanks for posting your stuff OCD...was hoping you would. I, too, can feel really guilty about my training (3 kids). Good for you for not missing any of your kids' games. All that travel and all those races your first year--totally awesome and inspiring! I'll forgive you for saying my bike is ugly;)

You have "a family" and work 60 hrs/week and train 16-20?

Perhaps you could consider spending some of your OCD that you're bragging about and spend some effort on them....you big risk taker, you.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, douchebag. The OCDer in me would have really liked to, but I was too busy cleaning up after dinner, getting my kids to bed and then blowing my husband.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, risky front-door brag.
