top ten signs of being an endurance animal

10. you log on to slowtwich and/or training peaks every single day of your life. (and, also,  ironman.com, most days, and also everymantri, and xtri and  also inside triathlon and, furthermore,  you buy triathlete at the drug store when you are supposed to be buying diapers.)
9.   you know almost as much about aero wheels as you do about your job.
8.   you would rather work out than visit with your mother
7.   contrary to being "proud" of how much you work out, you actually go to great pains to conceal how much you work out.
6.   you have a panic attack and/or existential meltdown/ extreme and difficult to rationalize anger and/or depression,  if something comes up in your day that fucks up your workout plans
5.  you workout, at a minimum, at least the same as an average work week per month. ie. 40 hours.
4.   you know who emilio desoto is
3.   you know how many children craig alexander has
2.   your options in life are: workout, over-eat, or drink too much
1.   you are a self obsessed narcissist who never wants to grow old, and always wants to feel omnipotent and free and you feel most like this while riding past rural golf courses in the middle of the day, while everyone else you know is either working, or with their families, and you just don't care, because it makes you feel good.

 ie. endurance is your drug. it is your way of being.
