Date Your Wife: Sprint Triathlon

Share

The Date: Tomorrow is our Sprint Triathlon.  I did this one last year and this is the first one for my wife! We have been planning this "date" for about a year now.  We have been training and getting ourselves ready and we are very excited to be participating in this race.

Most importantly, we are doing this together; we signed up for the non-competitive category and will be racing along side each other all the way!  I think this has already brought us closer together as a couple.  We set a mutual goal and have supported each other and worked hard to accomplish it.  Unfortunately, my wife's morning sickness started this week, but she is tough and is fighting through it to accomplish this goal.

The Challenge: A Triathlon obviously requires planning, well in advance, so why not go for a run together this weekend? go to the gym? a long walk? Support and encourage each other to go harder than you think you can.  This can be a very fun date! Let me know your date plans for this weekend in the comments!

The Cost: Our Triathlon was $75/person, plus some additional equipment.  Most exercise dates are absolutely free!

Update: What a fun morning at the triathlon we had! We were prepared for cold water in the lake, but it was VERY COLD! Once we got over that we had such a great time. We were able to cheer each other on, and just enjoy each others company while swimming, biking, and running.  It was so much fun to support my wife on her first triathlon, and accomplish our goal together.  How was your date this weekend?
