I got stared at by a Triathlete + Stare at Liz Hatch
I was cruising along with my brother on his cheap MTB today, going maybe ~10mph, when a skinny little guy wearing an aero helmet and aero bars yells "on your left!" in a high squeaky voice a CAR length to the left of us. 
We saw him about 5 minutes later taking a break, but as soon as he saw us around the corner he took off, turned his head, and took a left.

Why so much hate today? All triathletes are hot (given the only ones I "know" are the ones in the road forum and the young lady that rides past my house most days).

I hope there aren't triathletes here who actually take these posts personally. I always find it funny when people take broad generalizations personally.. unless they happen to be like the behavior described of course.
