You Know You're a Triathlete When...

I got this from a friend and thought it was funny, and true. I added a couple of mine, too:

You Know You're a Triathlete When...

• "working from home" includes an hour long trainer ride, buttoned up with some Core exercises
• you plan "Family Vacations" around destination triathlons to Florida, Bermuda or California
• you've taken 3 showers in one day
• you add 2-3 miles onto a 5k road race just to consider it a training run
• you consider "expensive jewelry" your new Garmin Heart Rate Monitor
• your most cherished suit is your wetsuit
• you always, always, have a bottle of water with you when driving or while at work
• your training workouts are dictated by your available time versus the amount of time you can actually swim, bike or run
• you've filled up your water bottle during a long training run....with a garden hose from an unsuspecting residence
• your significant other calls your bike shorts...your "diaper shorts"
• you'd rather go for a 2 hour bike ride than rake leaves in the fall
• you're at a BBQ and you explain for the 4th time what triathlon is and how it's different from "The Marathon"
• you've spent more money on your triathlon gear than your day-to-day wardrobe
• you don't know what to do with yourself on a "rest day"
• you ride your bike to a running race so you can get your "brick" in
• you know where every porta potty is along each one of your running routes
• you think that powerbars, gels and gatorade are part of the four food groups
• your bike, wetsuit and sneakers cost more than your vehicle you are currently driving
• you have speedlaces in all of your shoes, including dress shoes

If you can think of more, please feel free to add them to the list!
