Great to see the "proud of my wife thread". I have been meaning to post the same type of thing. My wife once said that she would never do a tri. Then said she might do a sprint. Then after my my buddies wife got her involved and she had somebody "Cool" to train with she got into it. The pictures are of her first sprint this summer that she finished. The second one she finished first in her age group !!! NOW, instead of asking when I will be home to help with the boys she is on my A*& about getting out there to train because IMAZ is only 8 weeks away!! It has been great for our marriage and realationship and we are having a ball. We have tri's planned all throughout next year where we can go and support each other and mix in a vacation with our boys.

Yes, That is her in the picture (All 105 pounds) with our three son's. I have always been amazed at her raising these boys let alone throwing in training and racing a tri !!! And then to win her age group !!! Jeeeeezzzz..

Meanwhile, her clydsdale husband is BOP most of the time...... But, I am having fun and I finish :-)

Congratulations to your wife.  I love seeing posts from adoring, supporting spouses.  It's very sweet and uplifting.

Who comes out of the swim looking so fresh and cheerful like that?  What a great photo!

I honestly had no idea it could be that fun to be a jockstrapper at a tri. I was like a pagent dad running along side her out of T2 to get on it because she had just killed the bike split. I'm still on cloud 9.

Congrats...good luck at IMAZ.

Hey...me proud, too. Although it was my wife who got us both suckered into involved in tri's, she used to be a "I only run if someone is chasing me" type. Two years later, she just finished her first half mary (no walking), has a 1st place AG finish in a local 5K this summer...and now she's vowed to do a marathon and a half iron in 2009.

She jockstrapped my first HIM this summer, so I've promised to return the favor next year.

That's awesome!  The picture of her and your boys is very cute.  She really is a super mom.
