Weird Things Triathletes Do
(And Why We Love It)
Let’s be honest—triathletes are a little weird. We swim, bike, and run for fun, willingly sign up for events that leave us exhausted, and somehow think this is a perfectly reasonable hobby. To outsiders, some of our habits seem downright strange. To us? Just another day of training.
The funny thing is, beneath all the weird habits is something pretty special. Triathletes are disciplined, determined, and connected by a shared challenge. We support one another, celebrate small victories, and keep showing up—even when training is hard.
So yes, triathletes may be a little strange. But if strange means chasing goals, building resilience, and finding joy in the journey, maybe weird isn’t such a bad thing after all.
