Triathlon culture is like this too, most endurance people are a bit insular and weird, but triathlon culture (owing likely to the three sports and socially interacting with people in those three spheres) was a lot more social. Plus, triathlon is inherently so much more interesting to talk about. You get all the bike gear stuff, there's talking about good routes to both run and bike, there's destinations to go to for training and racing. Finally, you get to interact with swimmers, who are frankly the most fun and accepting of the three, I think owing to the fact that it involves people that are basically spending time together naked wearing only the thinnest, smallest amount of clothing possible.
