Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Triathlon is an individual sport and this fact is magnified for me because I mostly train on my own.  Most of the time this is fine with me because I’m a very independent person and I rarely ask for assistance.  But this past weekend I was reminded how nice it could be to have a little help.

I complete all my long runs on the dirt roads by my house.  Although there is sometimes a little mud, it usually isn’t a problem.  But this spring it has rained a lot and the water was over the road in four places.  I was going to drive down and stash my rubber boots and extra water bottles.  As I was gathering all my equipment my wonderful husband volunteered to drive down, ferry me across the water and post up at different locations as an aid station.  Not only did this make my run easier, it made it more fun!
