No pics for me. I just did my first Sprint Tri this past weekend but I've been married to a hard core runner/triathlete for 6 years. She's done 12 or 15 marathons, a full iron man, 5 or six HIM,s multiple sprints, OLY's and half mary's.

We don't train together for two reasons.

1. She would drop me before we left our driveway on the bike and run. She places in her age group in almost every race she enters.

2. we have a 4 month old daughter so we have to tag team coverage to let each other train.

Maybe one day when the kid gets older and I get faster we can do some rides and runs together, but alas, that day is not today.

we ride together




Impressive. Most people would ride a tandem, but two on one tri bike? My hat is off to you.


Well if Ace and Gary can figure out how to fly together, I can see how a couple could ride and even stay aero.  Laughing

I train with my husband off and on. He bounces between the contemplation and action stages of the transtheoretical model at the moment. I hope to get him to train with me regularly!

Here's a pic of us before we did the 5km Run for the Cure.

Here is my wife and I after I completed a sprint tri...


She has just recently started trail running with me... our "together pace" is slower than my "alone pace" - but, I wouldn't trade the time spent running together for anything!

1.  This is better than the "girls of BT" thread in COJ.
2.  The wives are all way better looking than their respective SO's.

I don't train with my wife as she, unfortunately, has early stage RA and her knees can't take the punishment.  I was incredibly proud of her last year though when she walked the Outer Banks Half Marathon in a fraction over three hours.

No Recent Race pic, but here is us in Hawaii this year. We ran 6-12 miles 7 of 8 days we were there, and got in some serious swims.  The wife has yet to do her first tri. We are working on her biking skills. She kills me on runs and swimming.

I'll jump on the bandwagon.  We run and bike together and when I stay together ...I mean start together.   We do separate workouts since he's super speedy!

I train some things with the WHOLE FLIPPIN' FAMILY!!!!

I am relearning to run following two knee surgeries so my run training consists of a lot of walking. My daughter and hubby like to come with me and also the dog. It makes for a slower walk sometimes, but being out with my family is awesome. I'll post a pic sometime soon.

We both started working out Jan 2010. He's ran off and on for years, and I just started last August. Now we're training for our first sprint in Sept. 

A recent 10k (he decided to race this one with me):

 His first half marathon:

the hubby can't run anymore because of his knee, but he swims and cycles with me when he can. most importantly he is at every race, cheering when i cross the line, and he never minds a nasty sweaty hug at the end!

Here's my wife and 2 of my 5 kids. They completed a sprint that day and I did the HIM the next day. My other 3 kids do tri's but haven't stepped up to adult races yet.

In a few weeks I'll have a pic of my husband and I in our first tri.  Until then, here's us "geeks" and the kiddos.

My wife is a runner and gym rat. We don't get to train together often because someone has to watch the girls, but we get a babysitter for the occasional race.
