Why excel at one thing when you can be mediocre at three? :-) [/quote]

I respectfully disagree.  Well, I have no idea if the people I see at Wilson Aquatic Ctr. are [i]interesting[/i], or the guys cycling too fast in RCP within inches of geriatric walkers are [i]inclusive[/i] — maybe they are? — but as a cohort, these weekend warriors are NOT nice.  The ripped, middle-age+ women who swim midday are, uniformly, bitchy.  I should know, I've been in the "FAST" lane(s) for years alongside them.   The affluent dudes on $4,000+ bikes going waaay too fast for conditions, then yell at [u]kids[/u] learning to ride bikes for the first time to MOVE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a multi-use [u]trail[/u] on a Saturday at 2 pm?  Not nice.

Plus they tend to be intense and self-satisfied, at all ages.  Doesn't make you a d!@k, but wouldn't confuse these traits with "nicest".

I have to agree. Runners are super nice. Triathletes? Boring.[/quote]

I hadn’t thought about it before but this has been my experience as well- all the triathletes i know are jerks actually.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty well known that triathletes are as a group a**holes.[/quote][/quote]
