My Christmas list consists of all bike stuff.....is it wrong?

i’ve been doing this (triathlons) for a few years now and normally i ask for outrageous things…

this year, everything is under $100…but its all run bike swim related.

usually after church we come home and wait to open gifts.
its a bit selfish of me, but i hope i get 2 this year.

X-mas list? How old are you? Haha. I suppose it’s not wrong since it’s a list.

the list would be eliminated if my wife would not ask for it.

Im 31…and i dont have a life.

no

I am 42, my wife and mother still ask what I want. I tell them nothing except one thing. I just want to be left alone :0)

What’s on your list? My mom keeps bugging me for ideas, and I’m having a hard time coming up with good ones.

fantastic. that’s what i got for my birthday last saturday. i just wanted to do nothing and then grab some dinner. great day.

and to the OP, my wife asked for a list so i made one.

triathlon is a gear intensive sport. (that’s one of the reasons why its fun)

are you saying you’d feel more comfortable asking for a sweater?

I’m glad I’m not the only one. (I’m 39, for only a few more months…)

i just reuse the same list i give my wife every year.

Dear “Santa”,

Since i have been a good boy this year and listened to everything my wife told me to do, I would only like the following:

Does that mean you stay out of my AG for one more year. phewww…gives me more time to train for when you are in my AG , that in it’s self is a present :0)

No, next year due to the age-up rule I get to race with all the 40+ old farts. One would think people would get slower with age, some fast cats there.

What’s weird is that your wife and mother asked ME what I want.

I haven’t answered yet.

There is bike stuff for under $100?

16

ha!
x 2.

I must have deserved that but why again I can’t remember?

I must not have a life - I’m 41 and enjoy putting the requested Christmas list together. My wife and parents ask for it and I’m more than happy to have my latest hobby supplemented. I think it’s more a function of the things I want are specific enough so as to need the specs.

Of course, I ask for their Christmas list as well and enjoy filling that even more.

Hey - nothing wrong with xmas lists, even if you make 6 figures as an adult head of household!

My wife has offered me the following, all of which I’m turning down because I feel I don’t deserve it or will make good use of it:

  • Xbox 360 + Skyrim (oh dannnngg that sounds so fun, but that would kill the already nonexistent time I have outside of work)
  • Powertap - I actually would probably make good use of this, but I’m not getting one until I know I can train consistently on the bike for at least 6hrs per week, every week. Plus, my Cycleops2 trainer is a good poor man’s powertap.
  • Race wheels - Not worthy.

I did however, accept the YMCA annual gym membership she offered to pay for. Money well spent as I can now cram in swims before work and sometimes even during lunch, which effectively doubles my swim volume (triples it in some cases). Having a toddler that requires care all the time and a full time working spouse as well = no swimming otherwise.
