YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you checked the Lake B results and are planning a PB for 2013
… you failed high school chemistry but you could teach a course on lactic acid
… there is a group of people in your life about whom you are more likely to know how fast they can swim a 100 metres than their surnames or occupations

Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
