Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Spouse/Roommate’s Guide to Living With a Triathlete
- Make friends with the smell of chlorine, we can’t help it
- Pam cooking spray can be found in the triathlon bag, not the kitchen
- Food is never safe!
- Yes, we really do need multiple pairs of swim suits, running shoes, goggles, cycling shorts, bicycles etc.
- Body glide is not nearly as sexy as it sounds
- We don’t need no stinking television, except to watch the Tour de France, the Ironman Hawaii and the Swimming World Championships and contrary to the common homo sapiens we find all of the above fascinating
- We run, bike and swim, and we can talk about it non-stop
- More than one rainy day and we have a severe case of cabin fever
- Depending on disposition we collect, give away, wear or make quilts or pillow cases out of race T-shirts
You forgot:
- yes, my bike does have to stay in the living room - it’s furniture
- yes, I do have to have two bikes; perhaps I have two asses
- yes, I know I have fewer than ten toenails; feet that look like those of a mangled pigeon are sexy
