I wasn't sure how to title this post, but here's the question:
I've met the woman of my dreams (oh yeah, I'm a guy) and am going to ask her to spend the rest of my life with me. She is a recreational runner (1/2 mary's, 10k's, run's to stay active, etc) and was so inspired by watching me at IM CDA this year that she started swimming this past summer. While I don't expect her to match my passion in everything I do, I would absolutely love it if she got bit by the tri bug. As you can see she is making steps towards this, and while I want to and am encouraging her, I also don't want to make her feel like she has to get into tri's because I am into them. Any ladies out there have any advice how I can be supportive, but not over bearing (I can be a little intense when it comes to this sort of thing)? Have any of you ladies out there been turned onto triathlon because of a man in your life?
