YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you find yourself promoting tri training principles to your running mates, when all they're really concerned with is running off the extra lunch they had
… you'd rather someone steal your car than your bike
… you get more phone calls at 5 am than at 5 pm.

Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
