As a sports reporter, it’s my job to watch great athletes and bring their triumphs to life in print, and I have witnessed my fair share of impressive feats.
All of those experiences weren’t as unique as the accomplishment I saw this past Saturday, however, and part of the reason for that is this particular athlete happened to be my wife. In addition, she completed her first-ever triathlon.
Step aside, Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps. My wife covered both your sports, and then added a three-mile run to boot.
I realize that the author wrote those last couple sentences tongue-in-cheek, but even so, I feel that somebody should tell him that before Lance beat cancer and won the Tour de France 7 times in a row, he was the top ranked triathlete in the country.
