YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... all you can think about during a training session is how much fun the next one is going to be!
... you fill the time between sessions with more sessions (and try to keep it a secret from your coach).
... you are tempted to do your long rides in togs so you don't have tan lines visible for your next race.
Have a great weekend,
Cheers,
Robyn
