    I have done (or am planning to do) a triathlon.
    That makes me a triathlete.
    Since triathlete has the word athlete in it, I must be an athlete.
    Athletes are fast.
    Therefore I am fast.
    I best get in the fast lane in the pool.

    Grrrrrrrrrr.

    But seriously, people doing the brest stroke in the fast lane used to drive me mad in the markievicz each morning.

    If I tried a triathlon, and I would like to do one, I suspect that my result would be:

    Bourne99, DNF: Lost at sea

    I can't swim :( (well)

    Not the right way but here goes.

    Old pool...
    a tri dives in
    water's splash


    :D:D:D

    (apologies to any and all poets, and Japanese people for a massacre of their culture)

    Woohoo. Triathlon haikus!

    I've done Hell of West.
    Into the fast lane I go.
    Who's pulling my toes?

    There once was a triathlete called Tunney
    Who never agreed with our Hunny
    The two made a splash
    While having a bash
    But the lycra still looks very funny

    :D

    Using this logic I think I may be able to swim fast and shall now become a triathlete.

    I have done a marathon
    Since the word marathon has the word thon in it, the french word for tuna, I must be a fish
    Fish can swim fast
    Therefore I can swim fast
    I best get in the fast lane in the pool.

    Right, I'm off to annoy people in the pool....
