Champion  10668     Tacoma, Washington |  Subject: Funny conversation with my wife...So on NYE, my wife and I found ourselves kidless for the night. Ended up doing a "Charmed, season 1" marathon (it was interesting watching Shannon Dougherty's wardrobe progression over the season). But anyway, during this, I'd mentioned that I was going to do a long run in the morning. Then she mentioned me doing a half-IM. I told her "in 2009". She asked me why I was waiting, and I told her that my emphasis for 2008 was Oly distance gunning for Nationals, and that after that I'd go for one half-IM in 2009. She said "Why just one?" I told her that I wasn't looking to really race that distance or make any habit of it, and she said "Why not? You'd be good at it." I don't think she knows what kind of training time impact it would be, especially considering the home projects that we'd have coming up... |

Can't you put 1 and 1 together? Perhaps his wife is more inclined to encourage multiple 1/2 IMs precisely because he does the Charmed Marathon and wardrobe watching. |

Member 347 | Subject: RE: Funny conversation with my wife... My wife and i had the same conversation. She said, "your not getting any younger" (I'm 36 LOL). She said that I have proven that I'm into the sport and that it wasn't a passing fad. I signed up for the Spirit of Racine Half-Ironman the following week. I'm a lucky guy...now i have to find a good training plan for a fat guy "Triing". |

The only time I hear you ain't getting any younger is when she discusses more kids then at 35 I turn into an old fart. Try this plan. |

Expert 750 Harrisburg, PA | Subject: RE: Funny conversation with my wife... I'm lucky. I was just interested in finding a way to ride my bike in a competitive setting. It was my wife who suggested looking into a tri. Little did she know that I was sort of, some what, kind of, already knocking the idea around already. Even when I sprung the idea of doing two sprint tri's in the same month, not a problem. She even let me get a $$$$ road bike and she bought me a pair of zoomers for Christmas. She even brags about my goals to friends, family, and co-workers. At 45, she knows I'm not getting any younger. Maybe she figures the first tri will do me in and she can collect the insurance money. |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Funny conversation with my wife... Why do anything longer then OLY? It's the perfect distance! The only reason to do a half iron is prep for the olympic!  Well atleast that's how my mind works. :D |

Expert 750 Harrisburg, PA | Subject: RE: Funny conversation with my wife... OK, I just found out about a local HM that will be held in mid March of this year. I just mentioned it in passing to my wife. She says, "Oh, you should be able to do one of those." I didn't imply I wanted to do one, she just suggested it. I've done a couple 5k's this past month, and I haven't run more than 6 miles during my normal workouts. That settles it; she's looking for the insurance money. |
