Everytime a triathlete is mentioned here, you guys bash him. Why?
I don't hate triathletes. I choose not to be a triathlete for very good reasons. What makes me mad is when some tri-geek starts arguing and trying to get me into triathlon when I don't want to do it.
Here are the reasons why I don't want to be a triathlete:
1. It costs a lot of money that I would prefer to spend on beer and entertainment.
2. It takes a lot of time that I would prefer to spend on drinking beer and being entertained.
3. I don't want to shave my legs.
4. Riding a bike hurts my ass.
5. I don't want to swim in open water with alligators, amoebas, and city sewage. I like a nice clean pool, and I wear my water wings to keep my skeletal frame afloat.
6. I have a small penis which is very unflattering in a Speedo.
7. I don't want to be run down on my bike during a training ride by a geriatric case wearing Coke bottle glasses and Depends and driving a hulking '68 Buick.
8. After a run, I prefer to park my ass on a couch not on a stationary trainer.
I believe to each his own. If tri-geeks want to do their thing, so be it. I want to do my thing which is running and enjoying the rest of my life.
Out.
