Walked into the locker room at the gym for my run today, and saw an insulated bike bottle with an open bag of Clif shox mix (or something like that) and a pair of Newtons on the ground, and my first thought was “triathlete”. He came around the corner, wearing an IMLP visor, and an IMMoo tech shirt, proceeded to put on the newtons (sockless), compression socks, Polar HR monitor, and an iPod.
The treadmills are on the second floor overlooking the circuit weight equipment where our intrepid triboy proceeded to do 45 minutes of low impact weights, dutifully chugging his clif mix, and checking his HR after every set. Total workout time, 33 minutes.
I was just as shocked to see you there as you were to see me about to go lift weights. You actually were probably more shocked that I lift weights.
Well, I WAS trying to keep your cover, but…
sorry Dev that was me… little tired after the 100 mile ride and 16 mile run - brick I did yesterday - training for Silverman. It is Monday and I just wanted to chill for 30 minutes on the deadmill, to get the legs going while listening to some Barry White and trying some new nutrition products and gear. And all this time I thought you were just checking out my package out in the locker room… Can I still be your intrepid triboy?
well since the doc told me to start stretching, I thought why not go all out. Dress like a triathlete, do lots of straight bar bicep curls (b/c my guns are more BB then .357…for now), toss around some big plates on the bench, go do some lats, I mean, the bigger they are the more aero you are right?
Years ago I joined a Gold’s Gym. Why i dunno since I’m skinny and hate weights. There was another skinny dude always wearing a “no pain no gain” muscle shirt with a protein drink in hand who strutted around the place like he was Arnold. Must have been a triathlete.
I look like the biggest idiot when I got to gyms. Its been about 7 months though. I go and use rubber bands and I’m skinny. All the bench-pressers look at me like they want to crush me.

Oh shit … that was me …
Wait a minute. You are in Arizona, right? Whew! Never mind …
i tried lifting weights once but they were really heavy. so i took up swimming, but the water hurt my lungs. so now i just do laps around the subdivision every tuesday and thursday and tell everyone i’m a triathlete. it’s like clockwork. set your watch by it type stuff.
I was darn proud of my husband for finally getting to the gym. Yeah, he had to borrow some of my stuff because he doesn’t have any workout clothes but he still went. He’s pretty sore but I convinced him to go again and wear an iPod so he doesn’t hear the puny triathlete making fun of him.
Next time you see him can you give him my number? Although I’m not gay I’ll consider it for this guy.
I was waiting for R10C to appear and propose first…
