Lance Armstrong

Triathletes like to whine in general, similar to sprinters. Except when they're showing off their expensive gear:D It's interesting how cyclists and swimmers both regard tri-geeks in the same manner. Never was a runner, is it the same for them? I often have the feeling that triathletes make more of a life style out of their sport than swimmers, cyclists or runners do. Oh good grief. Maybe there are some people out there who started out as triathletes from a very young age, but every triathlete I know came to it from another sport, often running (but swimming and cycling also). Actually my impression is that many triathletes are usually people who didn't do any sports at all, got fat and lazy and then decided to do pick up running in their mid/late-Thirties to lose some weight. They do one marathon, get over-enthusiastic and then decide to pick up triathlon. Then they make a big deal about "their" sport and how much they workout.
