Quote: You will get judged

I liked this quote:

Here's a little secret:  You will get judged when you start to tell people you are starting to train for a triathlon! They will be proud of you.
You will get judged when you jump in the pool and struggled to get to the other side. The lifeguards will think: Good for that person.
You will get judged when you jump on that old bike of yours and your pedals start to turn faster than a relaxed pace.  People will know you're working towards a goal.
...
When you show up to your first triathlon and you feel like you just don't fit in because [various reasons], people will judge you.  They will think, that person worked hard to get here. I know he/she can finish. 

This book (Triathlon Beginner's Guide For The True Couch Beginner) was aimed at an audience even more beginner than me.  (From the couch to a triathlon.) But I liked that quote.
