[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessarily a deal breaker, but triathlons, marathon running, and golf are all very big-time sucks, so I'd proceed with caution. It cost one friend a marriage because she was so obsessive about her training that she neglected her kids, marriage, and job. [/quote] This seems to be a feature of certain personality traits plus specific types of time-consuming sports. There have been threads in the past on DCUM about cyclists who put their training and multi-day rides etc. ahead of their lives beyond their "hobby" or "exercise." I wonder if the endorphin rush from things like running and cycling (maybe weightlifting too?), for some people, affects their brains and bodies to the point that the craving for that rush overwhelms their common sense and skews their sense of perspective. From threads here about this over the years, it gets described much like an addiction. [/quote]
