I'm married to the most wonderful woman. The only challenge we have is that because of osteoarthritis I can't run and she can't ride a bike due to a previous back injury. Getting old is a real pain.
However, this weekend - tomorrow actually - we are going to do our first duathlon together. She will run the first and 3rd legs (did I say she consistantly runs a 7 minute mile) and I will ride the bike leg.
I can't wait to take that tag!

Hubby & I did a 12 hour duo once...I was a bit leary going into it, afraid I would not meet up to his expectations (I feel he is more competitive than me, but I think we both are the same in that aspect...he is just alot faster) He was just coming back from a major ankle injury so we were actually neck & neck on our lap times!
It ended up being one of my fondest memories of races (I only have 2 years worth but hey???) It was soooo much fun...I can not even come up with words (and that is not like me!)
Have a blast...I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

That sounds like a great way to get you both out there doing something. You should make the perfect duathlon partners. Have fun !!!
P.S. Love the avatar. I have that picture hanging in our half bath that we recently redecorated with a "bikes on the beach" theme.
