Triathlete.
Yes, you heard me right—time to become a full-fledged multisport athlete and adopt all the characteristics of a triathlete lifestyle. What's the triathlete lifestyle? Here's a list to help you out:
- Change the name of this blog.
- Shave more. Yup, instead of just my face, the legs and arms get a shave everyday too.
- Instead of training harder to get faster, I'll just spend more money on stuff like bicycles and pointy helmets.
- More spandex. And by more spandex, I mean all spandex, all the time.
- Adopting all the gadgets and gizmos to tell me all kinds of things I don't actually need to know: GPS watches, power meters, and heart rate monitors.
- I'll start riding my bike indoors because riding outside is for wimps.
- I will constantly concern myself with aerodynamics and weight, even considering ditching Roy for a newfangled bicycle made out of carbon fiber.
Here's an illustration of one of the changes (can you imagine how much cooler my Flintstone-stop would have been if my helmet were actually pointy???):
Sorry to all of you who came here for running thoughts and advice. I'll only be able to devote 1/3 of my time to running thoughts now, and those thoughts will mostly be on how buying Newtons will improve my form by creating a forefoot strike. If you still need more running thoughts, check out this resource.
