Roadies' Guide to Triathletes

1. We use aero bars even on road bikes simply because it is more efficient. Get over it.
2. We tend to ride up front and pull because we are trying to get used to riding against the wind - drafting is illegal in most Triathlons - not because we are showing off or trying to prove that the aero gadgets are working.
3. We tend to bring a few bottles to get used to re-fueling on the go, not because we tend to drink more.
4. Sometimes we wear Tri suits or shorts to group rides because we intend to go for a transition run after the ride, not because we are anti roadie fashion (is that term an oxy moron?).
5. Pt 2 & Pt 4 together is why we tend to pull up front for most of the ride, and then slow down and fall back at the end of the ride. We are trying to rest/stretch before going into the transition run.
6. Pt 4 is also the reason why we don't usually stay for the after ride chat/breakfast. We are actually pretty sociable people.
7. Pt 4 is also why we wear ankle socks (running socks) rather than the roadie (above ankle) socks.
