Turns out I entered an Iron Man competition not the Ironman race… Seems there is a difference between the two events. One is about pleasing your spouse, and the other pushing their willingness to tolerate your training to the screaming edge…

Now I understand why all my Iron Man friends were talking about how happy their spouses are, and all my Ironman friends were talking about how unhappy their spouses are… The confusion that existed in my head was excruciating…

One little bit of white space, turns out, to make all the difference…
