Kona or Bust Week 14 - Dude, What's in Your Car?

Kona or Bust Week 14 – Dude, What’s in Your Car?

Have you ever wondered what the inside of a triathlete’s car looks like? You probably haven’t, but today you’re going to find out. I spend a lot of time driving to and from workouts, to and from work, to and from home mid-day to let the dog out for a pee break and a quick walk. Inevitably my car begins to overflow with a little bit of everything. Now, that my current professional situation has change (for the better!) and I no longer have the luxury of a treadmill, spin bike, weight room, and pool all under the same roof as of my office I’ve begun to carry extra of everything just in case. There really is nothing worse than planning a workout and realizing you don’t have an essential piece of equipment or clothing.

Below you will find a detailed list of all the crap that my car holds on a daily basis. I’ve also provided you with a few pictures of said crap. Have a good laugh and please, feel free to offer up free detailing services!
