I was an IronSherpa the first year of my relationship. It was an interesting way to establish some of the roles we took on in our relationship. Since then we did two more years together IMC & IMCdA, now as she is traning for a BQ race and I am doing Silverman, I just keep telling her, "You're doing a marathon, That's so cute" just to get the dirty look.
The nice part is that we both realize the time commitments and effort levels needed for our competitions and we have to keep adapting the roles we fill at home. It is great when your partner steps up to make the little things in your life easier. It has allowed us to continue to enjoy a better real life relationship.
"One of my biggest problems with IM training is the biking and the damage it does to the saddle area. Not conducive to romance and very bad for morale of all parties involved."
I totally agree and that was why my post race present to my partner at CDA was an Adamo saddle.;-)
it turns out that our OP is only "mostly" dead........ ElGordo
