Me: Sure, that sounds great!
Man: I'll pick you up at 6?
Me: I work until 7, then I need to train.
Man: Oh, when will you be done training?
Me: Well... I need to swim 2400 meters, bike 50 miles and run a half marathon... I'm in my base phase, so it's a shorter workout.
Man: So when do you think you'll be done?
Me: Uhmm... tomorrow morning might be better. We could grab coffee between my swim and my bike.
Man: What time would that be?
Me: I will have like thirty minutes available between 7:00AM and 7:30AM.
Man: That's early...
Me: That is when I finish my swim.
Man: Maybe this weekend? Saturday? We could go on a hike.
Me: Sure, do you mind if we run the trail?
Man: How fast?
Me: Well, my coach wants me to hold a 7:00 pace.
Man: For how long?
Me: Three hours.
Man: Maybe you can call me when you finish that and we can get dinner? I'll take you to that new woodfire pizza restaurant.
Me: Oh, I don't eat pizza. I only eat vegetables and lean protein. I'm trying to reach racing weight.
Man: (Silence) See ya never!

Hahaha this is awesome. And I can totally vouch that you are not exaggerating this at all.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I know, right? This is all from a real conversation... except the bike was 30 miles and the run was 9. But still...
DeletePAlEO?
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with how eating Paleo/ crossfit has changed my body physically and visually.
Not Paleo. I just try not to eat any processed foods. But I've read a lot about Paleo for athletes because one of my favorite triathletes swears by it. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

ReplyDeleteNo, Weston, I <3 you.
DeleteIt would have been nice if he too was a triathlete so you both can train side-by-side/date. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually did date a triathlete and it was perfect! Instead of going out to dinner or a movie, we would do hill sprints or ride our bikes 50 miles. Best type of boyfriend there is!
