Our friend @OTSam suggested we put up a funny post about all the signs that your life has been infiltrated by someone from the SBR crowd. We thought that was a fine idea! I'll start but add your funny bits to the comments or email them to me at mrstheytri [at] gmail [dot] com!
- You have a running shoe budget
- You have a bike rack, but the bike rides in the car
- It's 5 a.m. You've been up for an hour.
- You have made peace with the concept of portapotties
- You've had to research a place to rent road bikes for while you're away on 'vacation.'
- There is a shelf in your pantry dedicated to powders and potions
- You are always running out of shaving cream
- $1500 for a wheel DOES sound reasonable now that you mention it. (wait, what?!)
OTSam's great list!
- You know the differences between a sprint, olympic, half and full
- You know what gu, nuun, hammer gels, clif blocks….. are and what his/her preference to those items
- You have an entire shelf in one of your kitchen cabinets designated for water bottles
- He owns a speedo, various lengths of running shorts, and a lot of spandex
- You know what the following items are: race belt, fuel belt, roadID, trainer, aerobars, clip-in pedals, camelback, etc.
- His/her workout drawer is completely overflowing
- It seems like calf sleeves have become a regular part of their wardrobe (worn during a workout, after a workout, or overnight sleeping)
- You’ve gotten scared walking by your bathroom seeing a long black shadow and then realize its their wetsuit hanging over the shower railing to dry
- You have given them their own triathlon room because all of the triathlon paraphernalia was starting to take over the entire apartment/house.
- He/she owns at least two bikes and has their eye on another
- You know the difference between a mountain bike, a road bike, and a tri bike (and the price differences, yikes!)
- You share your google calendars together so she/he can plan long workouts on days you have other activities planned (i.e. bridal showers, mall trips, work, etc.)
- During triathlon season, his legs are smoother than yours
- It seems like they are always eating, but getting thinner/more tone each day
- You are familiar with the names: Crowie, Boom Boom, Diebens, Mirinda, the Lovato’s and Chrissy Wellington
- You never run out of ideas for presents… there is always something new to purchase in the tri world
- Hawaii, would be pretty awesome.
- Pre-race day you scout out all the best places to get pictures
- Seeing them cross the finish line, and knowing all the hard work they put in… is pretty awesome :)
Keep adding to the comments! These are great!

When there is more cycling and running clothing in the hamper than street clothes
When you have to check to make sure that was deodorant you just put on and not body glide
The bike has a rack in the garage, but usually lives in the house.
Awesome list, ladies!!
