Thread: My wife is an Ironman finisher

A funny: When I first saw this thread title, I was a bit, "Wait-what?" I read it too fast and thought it said "My wife is an Iranian Fisher" ... which made NO sense to me.

Wow that really is impressive! I'd be lucky to complete any one of the segments, let alone all in the same day!

Wow! that's something to be really proud of!

That is a really, really amazing accompolishment.

I'm all for fitness, but I think I'd rather join you for the patty melt! Congrats to her, quite an achievement!

Damn man, that's hardcore! Tell your wife congrats, that's quite an accomplishment!
