This Triathlete's Life
Confessions of a hopelessly addicted triathlete:
I wake up at 5am 3 times a week, just to get extra training in.
The back of my car looks like a bike shop.
I have more lycra in my wardrobe than normal clothes.
I secretly love the smell of a neoprine wetsuit.
I love porn...bike porn.
I eat more pasta than most Italians.
Every road I drive, I think to myself, "I could ride this" and then start looking for a lake or trail.
My girlfriend and I fight over the razor...to shave our legs.
Besides sex, there is no better feeling than standing in a lake at 7am with a Red Bull and an Espresso Love Gel with 2x caffeine running through my veins, with 150 other dudes in neoprine feeling the same way.
Aero bars are cool.
I try not to wash off my body numbers after a race.
During the run, all I want is an ice cold beer.
I'm addicted to this sport.
