YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you tell your parents that you are going to "do a long brick" on Saturday and just expect that they know what you are talking about
... you come across a fellow triathlete or cyclist in need of assistance and you help them out rather than ride on by
... you think a no smoking section in a restaurant is about as useful as a no peeing section of a swimming pool
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
