YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you are racing away from home & meet a fellow competitor in your age group for the first time. They are able to tell you what events you have done and what time you did them in (.... and you can reciprocate)
... six months later you still don't know the last name or occupation of some of your training mates, but know what events they are targeting and how much their averages have improved.
... you have been searching the web for an event that will suit your strengths ... at a location you would like to visit
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
