I Married A Triathlete!

OK, so maybe she wasn’t a triathlete when I married her, but she sure is now! After trying to convince her for a year and a half that she should try a triathlon, with her telling me she had NO desire, she finally took the plunge.  I chanced upon the way to make it happen […]

My Most Expensive T-Shirt
