YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… at running you say you are a little slow because you did a long bike ride the day before
… on a group ride you say you are a little slow because you did a long run the day before
… at  swim squad you say you are a little slow because you haven't spent much time working on your stroke lately as you have been focusing on your biking and running
… you hope like crazy that these people never meet


Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
