A couple of days ago I changed my avatar to a picture of myself and had the face taken off(I know it was an improvement). Never though a lot about putting it on here until yesterday after the gym. I went and did my workout at the gym and the normal people were there like always at that time. I had just got done and was in the locker room when one of the regulars came up to me and said "How is Diesel101 doing today?". I never go by that name except on here I looked at him and the next words out of his mouth were " I f**king knew you were on something". I asked him what the hell he was talking about and evidently he cruises this site (not a member) and recognized our gym in the background and realized it was me in the picture. He proceeded to tell me that he has thought about running gear and was wondering about how to get started. Of course I denied everything and played completely stupid and got the hell out of there but as I looked at the picture later on it was pretty obvious.
I live in a small town of 24,000 people and we have 3 corporate gyms and the 1 private that I go to.I know there is not but 3-4 of us that run gear (at least by the looks of people) so I guess no matter where you are from big or small you always stand the chance of people finding out.
I spoke with a friend and trainer (he knows I cycle) and was telling him about it and he did remind me that when you get to a certain size especially at my age it becomes pretty obvious that you are using something.
It was just kind of an eye opener to how we think we hide what we do but people will always find out.
P.S To the guy in the gym we both know I have cycled but lets not make a public f**king conversation about it in the locker room. Join the forum and ask you're questions on here!
And yes and I will all ways deny it outside this forum.
