Forgive me if this subject has been posted recently but it’s slow season and I need some laughs. I’ll start it out.

“You know you’re a tri-geek when…”

  1. A hot girl goes by on a bike and you check the bike out first.

  2. Your bathroom reading material consists of Performance and Bike Nashbar catalogs.

  3. Your idea of a nice relaxing evening is just you, your bike and some cleaning solvents.

  4. Your spouse would rather you were having an online affair rather than spending all that time on slowtwitch.

  5. You’ve named one of your children “Cervelo.”

5.5 You received your Swimsuit Issue of Triathlete magazine and were actually interested in the swimsuits!

  1. You show up for your new job and ask where the transition area is.

  2. Your bike cost more than your car.

  3. Your meals come in small packets which fit nicely into your rear pockets.

  4. The guys at the gym have seen you naked more in the last six month than your wife has.

  5. The smell of chlorine overpowers your Old Spice cologne.

You buy enough Gu to actually elevate the value of its stock BUT…you are too busy training to take time out to actually purchase the stock. (thought that one up in the pool today)

you complement girls on their running forms.
Oh man they appreciate it !

I think you better have someone check the chemical levels at your pool

“You know you’re a tri-geek when…”

You spend your day thinking up things that a tri-geek would do and posting them to an internet forum full of tri-geeks most of whom you’ve never met :slight_smile:

… You say “on your left” when you go past people in the grocery store.

  • Your friend invites you for a bike ride and you bring running shoes for the “run off the bike”
  • You always have a bike pump, running shoes, gu, towel, swim cap & goggles in your car
  • Your SUV is a 2-seater because the back seat is always down for your bike & other gear
  • You see a guy at the gym and think “nice muscles, but he’d be a lot faster on the bike & run if he dropped 10 lbs”…

You are in the ER after getting hit by a car and the medication on an empty stomach is making you feel woozy, and you ask the nurse to get your gel flask out of your bag so you can get a “quick hit of some carbs.”. (which makes you feel better almost instantly)

Also…

When the alarm on the ER HR monitor starts beeping like crazy and the nurse comes running over, looks at the display, looks at your scrawny frame still wearing bike shoes, and asks “Um, do you normally have a low resting HR?” you say “Umm, kind of.” and she deactivates the alarm.

You get ink poisoning from all the body markings.

You practice your swim stroke in your sleep.

You organize a draft line at the DMV to make the line move quicker.

You record your heart rate during bowel movements.

You carry a picture of your bike in your wallet.

Your teenage son calls you Captain Spandex!

  1. You’ve named one of your children “Cervelo.”

Did you really?

In reply to: 5. You’ve named one of your children “Cervelo.”

No. I actually ride Litespeeds but having a son named “Saber” sounds like it would be pretty cool.

16

You record your heart rate during bowel movements.

Oh man, that one made me laugh!!

17

I like the skinsuit (not sure I could carry it off but hey) but WTF is Mr Thorpe doing???

18

You record your heart rate during bowel movements.

Oh man, that one made me laugh!!

This was fresh in mind because I’ve recently gotten my bowel movement rate (BMR) down to 114

When you wear your brand-spanking new ST Dweeb T-Shirt while spending 9-10 hours compiling a flow-chart/matrix in Excel showing us all the drag coefficients for some new wheel hub on 10 different wheel sets, 10 different bikes, 10 different weather scenerios, et al, then post it with glee and ask if anyone else has done the same. He he he!

ST dweebs rock!
