I heard that stuff tastes like carrots, but my coach told me I need to push more watts on my fartleks. How's my position look? Learn more at www.trisports.c...
TOTALLY! I've worked at some tris providing free QUICK bike tuneups, and it is insane how many people would essentially ask for a complete overhaul 20 minutes before their race. Also, why are triathletes bikes always so sticky, anyway? Learn to ride! Race road!
Bro, you are absolutely right, doing 7.5 miles every single practice would be absurd. But you are mistaken in your conversion there, 12,000 yards is only 6.8ish miles. And you are absolutely correct, swim practice is 5-8, 3 hours. I would never do a single practice of that magnitude everyday or even in the tri-season, this kind of practice is when I'm in my tri off season and my focus is being a competitive swimmer only. So good call on the bs, but you were only partially correct
The saddest part about this -other than it being true -is that it actually makes me want to get back into triathlon! Now if only my health issues could be quicly resolved...
@erwancompes No, Paleo does not mean less than 150g carbs/day. It means not eating neolithic foods, i.e. essentially a gluten & casein-free diet. You're confusing Paleo w/ Atkins or some other (semi-)ketogenic diet.
I'm not even a triathlete and I like to say these phrases around my friends. It makes me feel good about myself and hopefully it'll inspire them to trade the cheeseburgers for a pair of running shoes.
I have never competed in a triathlon and haven't even swum or ridden a bike for 10 years. This video was up cause my brother must of used my account. Anyway it was still really funny for me congrats! Maybe I should get a cadence?
I swim for 5 hours each day; 5-7 in the morning, 3-6 in the afternoon. We get in a solid 15,000 yards each day except on Sundays. It's not that far-fetched.
Very funny and so glad to see some humour. I'm just surprised I actually understood everything you said. Yikes! ;-) And are you wearing a RoadID on the bike? lol.
Left hand moves in a circle while running. Totally wasting around 3.84 watts. Could shave 1.5 minutes off your Ironman time if you stopped that, but it's sold out.
nice!! my brother and i were talking about how PRETENTIOUS we sound when we throw around terms to each other if talking around other people. then we both said we don't give a sh!t anymore. runners/triathletes won't really think you're bragging, but people outside the sport ALWAYS do.
agreed; yet methinks why bother having draft rules in the 1st place? especially when officials/volunteers/newbies are "tagging" age groupers, newbies, clydedales (etc), almost as much as the pros/champs in some sprints & olympics?? c'mon man there's like, no pts, no money at stake, no records being set..... so lay off the folks trying to catch-on to the sport already!
This is SOO much better then all these other ones that are popping up now.
One more: "I think I need to up my gels during the run."
"I was DESTROYING the bike leg"
"I went too hard on the bike leg"
story of my life
You forgot, "It's a great way to stay in shape."
I'd forgotten about this little gem.
Forgot- "honey going out for a quick 30, back in an hour" -MPP

I heard 90% of all this over a single conversation with my dad and his triathletes friends, I'm "just a runner" for them.
This video totally got it right. I have probably said every one of these things mentioned in the video😂😂😂😂
Thanks for bringing humor to training! Very well made
"everyone behind was just like, having a draft fest"
OMG we are a bunch of twats lol. I love being a triathlete! Ha ha ha

I used to be a triathlete, then I took an aero to the knee
Hilarious. Accurate. And so self-absorbed.
In a pool: "Water is cold today. I think I'm going to cut this workout short."
Open water: "I think I saw a shark. I better cut this workout short."
Timothy Gilson too accurate
@jzcapets actually if you understtod biking seats perfect on his farthest reach his knee is slightly bent so its perfect
Loving the helmet on a turbo trainer :')
This was awesome! We are a crazy bunch of athletes for sure.
This is way better than the other ones
My bad, I overlooked yards and registered it as meters. Thanks for catching it.
yup....funny enough...treadmill time...waiting for your sequel to this
Bwwwwwwwwwwwwahhhh! LOL!! Laughed after "Is this more areo?... or this?" Still crackin' up. LOL!
That was pretty funny and so true! It gave me a good chuckle to start my day. Well done!
Reminds me of the joke, "How do you know the triathlete at a party? Don't worry, he'll tell you. " :^) This was great.
You left out "I just filled my bottom bracket with piss"
@erwancompes You're still avoiding the part where Paleo isn't limited to 150g carbs a day.

Love it...great to laugh with you on these. Thanks for putting in the time to make us "tri-hards" smile ;)

omg I have become you!! original and still the best bro!
I work for a triathlon production company. Yes, triathletes do say those things.
This video is *almost* better than the comments.
"check out these socks......"
yeah, spending so much time outside really lifts your mood ;)
@erwancompes Yeah, a high carb paleo diet. What's strange with that?
The ones where he’s in the pool are hilarious 😂
Very funny and so glad to see some humour. I'm just surprised I actually understood everything you said. Yikes! ;-) And are you wearing a RoadID on the bike? lol.
"Just a C race... I'm just gonna train through it.." haha I've heard this one.
"Did you hear she's sleeping with her coach?" Best line of the video! So relevant to so many athletes.
Still confused about aero position... want to see again --from above this time.--
Oh man, your just the best ! i'm crying , really ....
Will a power meter help? I've got a 2/3 but I think a 4/5 will make me quicker? I usually bang a GU at 30 minutes into the ride just so I don't bonk?
so good man!
Best video ever!
That was great. I like his SWIM - BIKE - RUN - HTFU shirt.
Haha this is awesome! And yes, Jonas Colting does eat a low carb paleo diet :P
Exploded laughing during the "bonk sequence"!!!
He forgot the classic: "I've been working on my nutrition."
So funny, man! Sounds like me and I'm a complete newb! Thanks for the good laughs.
This cracks me up just to read it again. lol
i didnt really get any of these refrences.
The number 1 thing I always hear is "I'm stoked with my results" - hear that all of the time. Maybe it's an Australian thing.
Left hand moves in a circle while running. Totally wasting around 3.84 watts. Could shave 1.5 minutes off your Ironman time if you stopped that, but it's sold out.
It would be dumb to swim too much when you're training for a triathlon. You can't forget about the biking and running!
Brilliant!
This guy looks a lot like David Millar anyone agree?
He keeps goin on about the aero on the bike but his general position is so bad
haha! i like the 'check out my socks for my recovery'! haha!
this... or this?
"this one is better is carbon fiver" hahahah that was the best part
It's all about me, my and I!
Great video, man!!!
Where's the "I try to half-wheel as much as possible during grouprides" quote?
@morrisonak1 Got it at Punk Rock Racing
HILARIOUS!!! We've caught ourselves saying most of those to innocent civilians...
I am training for an IM right now, this is totally right on! Haha.
Love it mate, so true!
were you trying to look like Lieto in kona in 2009 at 2:53? Because it worked!
I'm liking the bh with campy
At first I said: "What's with this noodle wimp?" and then I couldn't stop laughing! good stuff...
My favorite line - around 1:56, "Everybody behind me was like having a draft fest!" Hah ha
Which position is more aero, this or this? ha ha ha.
Nice one :D
All of those sayings remind me of my FIRST Ironman.
nice!! my brother and i were talking about how PRETENTIOUS we sound when we throw around terms to each other if talking around other people. then we both said we don't give a sh!t anymore. runners/triathletes won't really think you're bragging, but people outside the sport ALWAYS do.
Is that M sign on the back of your car the new Mc Donalds sign?
Where's the fab four now?
This, or this...That is the question
Gotta work hard for that Olympic Trials cut!
Does these socks really help with recovery? I need a pair.
You forgot to say I'm getting a white trisuit to reflect the sun. Oh wait you already did ! muppet.
love it!
So well done ,still laughing .
"I hear Macca uses this"-Most repeated phrase by new triathletes.
"...you can totally follow my blog..." is funny.
"I'm probably going to do a a run-focused training blog..." is hilarious.
Wow...I just now realized how many of these I say!
I was just checking the guy out lol
When someone says, I did my first triathlon, triathletes would alway ask - what was your time. My wife would ask, did you enjoy it?
I think I've said/thought at least 10 of those things!
You must be from Austin
I sell BH at the bike shop I work for... even worse is my boss who insists you need carbon.
Im racing at itu nationals and got to say as a serious triathlete here ....lmfao
Does somebody knows some youtuber vegan triathlete ?
Oh triathletes with their sleek tight suits, fancy gear and gizmos! :)
@jzcapets 'Saddle' as the triathlete sez
What are those goggles? I need something with a flexible nose piece - mine cut into my big nose.
