Just curious… Now that I am dating again, and have more time to do so, I still find it hard to fit in… I find myself saying :" hmmm wed I can’t , it’s the group ride"… you know what I mean? how do fit it all in?? Besides dating another triathlete which I am almost giving up on (but still dreaming about it:-)
get married first 
other alternative is I found a T-shirt that says ‘looking for meaningful one night stand’
.
It’s called injury…
Bring those fine looking legs down this way, Ill FIT you in :)))

don’t you have to date to find someone to get married to? Based on what you guys write on married life, not sure I am interested:-) dating sounds good enough for now!
I don’t want to turn this into another “sex and training” thread… BUT… if you don’t have sex, you’ll never reach your potential as an athlete… so you better make dating and having a meaningful (if you know what I mean…) relationship a priority.
Of course that being said, don’t take Francois’ advice, since when married people have sex? :-p
well, if you’d reply to my posts…
seriously, why not combine the two?
Gotta go with Francois. Get yourself married and then dating is not an issue.
Seriously, you’re doing something wrong with your life. There are all kinds of eligible fit trigeek bachelors out there who would love to meet an attractive (saw your photo) female trigeek such as yourself. Shouldn’t be a problem at all finding one.
Sorry, but I’m already spoken for.
I know this guy named Tom up in Michigan that owns a tri store who’s also looking. Maybe we could set you up on a blind date.
how do fit it all in??
Are you sure you want us to answer that question? I think that there is a way of explaining this in a G rated way, but fortunately I am not able to do so.
I would recommend dating someone in law or medical school. Their schedules are usually just as busy as your training schedule. You may think this is a bad thing, but it’s not. The limited time to see each other means you’ll get to the more meaningful things right away.
i want a triathlete boyfriend too. but they all seem to be married and posting pics of their hottie wives on slowtwitch while figuring out how to hide the new disc.
anyway, i only train about 10 hours a week and i find that it’s hard to date. i have a semi-tri-tolerant boyfriend right now, but i don’t think it would last if i decided to train for ironman (someday…). i have tried to establish certain days that are for dates, usually monday or tuesday, and one weekend day. he complains all the time that we don’t hang out enough. i can see how it would be hurtful to be blown off for a workout. i’m trying to get him interested in doing tris, but i think he is sick to death of hearing about it.
basically, i have no idea. find someone extremely tolerant to begin with who really wants to be with you, and see how far you can push it. or someone with a major hobby of his own, like kittycat’s husband.
I’ve rescheduled the same date twice because of training conflicts. I didn’t try making up a story each time I rescheduled. Just gave her the truth. She’s still working with me to setup this date. I dunno, I guess she digs me…First it was sat., then it was today, now it’s fri. It’ll happen eventually…
I find training actually makes it easier. I just tell my wife I’m going for a long ride and she expects me to be gone for 5 or 6 hours. Plenty of time for a date.
I would marry you, but you’re canadian! How am I supposed to get my green card that way???
Not to metntion five to ten years later you get that new $10,000 tri-bike you’ve been dreaming about.
I doubt I wrote anything bad about married life…maybe I would if I was married to someone else than May-Lise.
if the guy was worth it i would probably skip the group ride every so often and do it solo. then add a friday night, saturday night, sunday late afternoon/evening and possibly a moon lit stroll monday night…? the problem is, most men aren’t worth sacrificing workouts for…lol, just kidding!!!
you should at least get him to ride with you, that worked for me
.
I made my boyfriend into a triathlete. It wasn’t too hard as he was already a swimmer and quite a few oof our friends are triathletes. So he’s my training partner and our vacations are planned around races. It works out qute nicely. No explaining why I can’t go to the movies because I have to fit in a run. No trying to justify money spent on bike parts. We’re basically in the same boat. So I guess the moral here is, if you can’t find a triathlete to date, create one.
Paulo, I thought you were married? What happened to Isabel?
