In the world of triathlon there are terms that are used that aren’t apart of a normal person’s lexicon. Now I know your minds will start to wonder but please try to keep them out of the gutter. One of us will have to.
2-A-Days - this is not refer to the number of times you have sex (well maybe not for you).
Aero Position - this is NOT a sexual position...yet.
Body Glide - this is a lubricant, but not the kind you're thinking of.
Bike Porn - this is not naked girls next to TRI-bikes.
Bonk - old term used in a newer way.
Chain Suck - nasty imagery but refers to when your chains gets caught up.
Chamois Butter - similar to what what you think about when you hear Body Glide, but again no.
Crank - Yes, we (triathletes) measure our cranks. Is yours longer than mine?
Fartlek - this does not refer to farting on the Run and passing someone at the same time.
Hardware - to the women of triathlon I'm so sorry, this is not...well...you know.
Negative Split - althought we all like to boast about how flexible we are, I think this is impossible. If you can do it, tryouts for Cerc de sole is next month.
The Washing Machine - not related to the wheelbarrel. If you know what that means...you're a dirty birdy too.
TT – when said by itself outloud...well try it, now. OK, everyone is looking at you. Just turn around and said "Time Trial."

Oh that's funny. Some of those things I didn't even know about, and I luv your west coast slant... or maybe that's my imagination :-)
hi cuz, this is your cousin, the one who is always curious to hear how your tri work is progressing during family gatherings (I'll let you guess who but my Blogger display name is my initials... I know, I know, real original!) am enjoying your blog, but wanted to point out that you never explained what "Bike Porn" meant, because as you know I bike recreationally and was naturally curious to see if I was missing anything :-)
Bike Porn = pictures of only your bike. naked-no person in pix.
