My wife is an Ironman finisher

I could handle a triathalon like I handle Straight and Level ... which event would you like to see first ... all three is just crazy impressive. I think I could do it in about 12.5 .... DAYS ... Good on her and you for encouraging her ...
 
OMG, that is so awesome! All that work and sacrifice; she (and you) must be so proud. What a truly amazing accomplishment. Tell her to keep up the good work - I know she's inspiring people. I'd love to do that one day!

Insane. To be honest, it almost destroyed our marriage. Between 30-40 hours a week - in addition to the time she spent at her full time job. I haven't seen her on a weekend since August and we haven't woke up next to each other since July.

If she does another one it will be years down the road - it's just too much - which is why most of the people who do it are single.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I've done a couple sprint triathlons, but nothing even close to this.

WOW!! A full, eh?? I did a half ironman last year and it about killed me :drool:. I have no idea how a human being can propel themselves DOUBLE that distance. But that is awesome.

Can't believe how you can finish a 2.4mi swim, then bike for over a hundred miles, than still have the energy to run a freakin MARATHON.

I ran the marathon twice, and was exhausted, these Ironman participants, are just getting warmed after a marathon!
 
that's is seriously cool, congrats to her. I've been thinking about joining an adventure racing team, kinda like eco challenge type stuff, but I'm way far away from my fighting weight.
