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!
