You Might be a Canadian Triathlete

If you've ever had to thaw your swimsuit before putting it on,

you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If your shampoo gives your scalp that great tingly feeling because of the ice crystals,

you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If your standard issue race gear is number, timing chip, and bear bells,

you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If you smuggle gravel onto the indoor track just to get that 'trail-run' feeling through the eight winter training months,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If you credit your latest PB to a startled, grumpy beaver,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If you freak out while doing laps because something is following you, but you just aren't used to feeling your toes,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If replacing the chain on your bike means the snow chains,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If you have ever felt the need to Google the effects of jogging in Yak Traks,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete

If the extra weight from blood you assumed you would lose to mosquitoes throws off your first States race,
you might be a Canadian Triathlete
