What is your other life? (Page 3)

I'm married with 2 dogs . I manage a network operations center to pay the bills, coach lacrosse for the local high school, play world of warcraft and workout.

Married with 3 boys--9, 6 and 2.  Work as a manager for a large maufacturing company.  Help coach my kids wrestling, soccer and t-ball teams.  Serve on the board for a national non profit org.

Plenty of spare time left to train for my first tri???

 I guess it is a good thing my goal is a sprint!

Wife and mother of 2 kids (ages 4 & 6). Full-time CPA. My training is done mostly at night when the kids are in bed and my husband is watching TV.

Well, my life seems pretty plain compared to others on this board. 

I am currently a corporate lawyer focusing on banking issues, mergers and acquisitions, general business and dabbling in bankruptcy/creditor's rights issues.  I can usually make time for training either before or after work (sometimes both).  No wife/significant other, no kids, just a newer house and a stubborn dog.

I'm a relative "noob" (as the kids say) to training (training for 4+ weeks) and BT (one day).

Previous life I was a Naval Officer but as of last year I'm in Medical Device sales and I work with Radiologists and Breast Surgeons in the detection and treatment of breast cancer.  I train for tri mostly at night which means I am hating this winter short day thing.  I do live in LA though so at least we have good weather to ride, run and swim all year.  No kids and wife works late so it helps in that she is not always concerned about me not being "home by 6".

RN for 20 years - charge nurse, infection control officer and union president in a large long term care facility

Husband of 20 years to a surgical RN/clinical educator working on her MScN, father of 3, grandfather of 1

Mediocre BOP duathlete, but an elite sleeper and age group champion in the buffet events  

ETA we're in our 7th year of constant renovations to restore our 1890 Queen Anne Victorian manor into a B&B. 

I was an Army Officer and physical therapist for nearly 14 years. I got out and now I am a physical therapist and PHS Officer in Lexington, KY.

Go Cats!

I'm currently the charge nurse in a local Intensive Care Unit and a refugee from multiple nursing management & administration positions.  I also spend some time each week as a health & wellness coach and doing some business coaching.  I also spend a TON of time messing around on BT.

Great thread...I've learned a lot about some of my BT friends.

Full time student, part time respite care, and, up until a month ago, a live in nanny.  I decided that 80+ hours a week was too much and left the family that I had lived with the past 3 years. 

I teach.  I bike to work - and all my kids think my bike is "So cool!" ... Just wait until they see the new one!

Police/SWAT officer married to a defense attorney (figure that one out)

Father of three girls (11, 9, and 7)

Avide skier, avid traveler, avid but lousy golfer

im a reluctant stay at home mom of three fabulous boys, ages 12, 9 and 6.

but admittedly being home provides me w a TON of flexibility to train.

im a psychotherapist by 'trade'....toying w the idea of getting a certification in sports psychology to keep me occupied.

other than that, i have a VERY easy-going, supportive husband who does a lot to help out around the house and w the kids so that i can train.  god bless him. 

Optometrist here, working and lecturing in neuro-ophthalmic disease.  Wife and mom of 2 small children.  What a great thread!  Very interesting.

 Any Facebookers out there?  Would love to expand my circle of tri friends.  FB is where I keep in touch with everyone most consistently, so drop me a line there, fellow BTers!
