Is the word "Fun" mentioned in that article?

A while back I was on a long ride with a friend who used to be a top level Pro (Top 3 at Kona) He was talking about how the culture of Tri's have changed over the years. The comment I remember most was "They do not even drink beer anymore!"

I think they obsess over gear and how many seconds their $$$$ can buy :D
sad and WAY over type A
exactly where is the FUN

"Fun is the one thing that money can't buy" :D just now listening to the Beatles "she's leaving home"...

Richard Phillips, CEO of Pilot Freight Services in Lima, Penn., has completed over 80 triathlons, waking up at 4 a.m. to train before his 10- to 14-hour workdays. He uses a Garmin Vector power meter attached to his bike to measure how forcefully he pedals with each leg. If the meter shows that he is favoring one over the other, he'll practice single-legged drills to balance himself out.

Time that would have been better spent increasing total power output.
 
One guy bet another guy that he could get triathletes to eat elephant snot if they thought it would make them faster. And the first energy gels were therefore born.

(Anyone remember Leppin? It did taste like elephant snot - or so I'm told).

that is one heck of a stomach upset in the making...

But I bet it gives you one wicked burst of energy right before the inevitable sugar crash that leaves you puking your guts out on the side of the road. :D

HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!! Sometimes you feel like peaches, yet sometimes only zesty fudgeberries will do! Gotta be prepared for whatever comes your way. Good thing those are the aerodynamic packaged variety, surely it enhances those nice, aero frames:rolleyes:

Edit: what the hell is going on with those bars? A bottle of shampoo and a dead fish strapped to them??

Bananas on the extensions and 4x Carmen's Muesli bars on the bars (this suggests that the tri geek in question is Aus).

Would NOT want to be in a 4-5 metre radius when they try and take off those bananas :eek:
