I feel really lucky too - my husband is very supportive. He started racing a year before I did, but I've been more successful than he has (I have to give him credit in that the competition among men is much more intense and there are a great deal more of them, so its always going to be harder for him). In some guys that could lead to pouty, jealous behavior, but he's been great. I got the fancy new bike and I just got a coach (I did my first coach workout yesterday, yeah!) and he's been encouraging me to do it the whole time.
