Tri Zones Training

These are some optional rules that were started last year and are back by request and have been expanded upon and modified slightly. Perhaps other Tri Zones teams will want to adopt them... They are somewhat geared for women, but it wouldn't take much to much them generic. Our team signified our acceptance with a hearty 'Yeeha!' after each one.

And perhaps other triathletes will want to adopt them in the spirit of 'we are all part of the same big team' in the world of triathlon. Enjoy!! :-)

If I see one of my fellow team members with zombie eyes from smeared mascara after a swim, I will hand her a tissue. (Yeeha!)

If I see one of my fellow team members with snot crusties after a tough run or ride, I will share with her the art of performing the perfect snot rocket. (Yeeha!)

If my fellow team member has the worst helmet hair I have ever seen when removing her helmet after a group ride, I will hand her my hat. (Yeeha!)

If while riding behind my fellow team member on a bike ride, her shorts have worn so thin that I can see her butt crack, I will cover her back until I can take her aside and gently encourage her to go shopping. (Yeeha!)

If after a hot Texas summer workout, my fellow team member is caked with salt so badly that it might be misstaken for dandruff, I will hand her a towel. (Yeeha!)

If I see my fellow team member struggling and in a moment of frustration or despair from not quite reaching her goals at the moment, I will give her a look of encouragement, a word to inspire, a touch on the shoulder or a hug, whatever is appropriate. (Yeeha!)

If I see my fellow team member accomplishing something that she has never, ever done before and in a moment of utter triumph, I will join her in celebrating as loudly and as joyously as only fellow team members can do together! (Yeeeeeeeeeeha!)
