Women Rock

My fiance is a prime example of this. What a wonderful lady! I was listening to a podcast today while running and heard a joke that I have to repeat...

Man comes across a frog in the forest. The frog says hi to him, so the man picks him up and puts him in his pocket.
The frog says, "if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess."
The man takes the frog from his pocket and smiles at her, then puts her back in his pocket.
The frog then says, "if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and brag to all about how wonderful you are!"
The man again takes the frog from his pocket and smiles at her, then puts her back.
The frog then says, "if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and will do whatever you want for an entire year!!"
Again the man takes the frog from his pocket, smiles at her and then puts her back into his pocket.
Finally the frog shouts, "Hey, what's your problem? I've told you I would turn into a beautiful princess and be all yours. What's the problem??"

The man once again takes the frog out of his pocket, smiles at her and says, "Look. I'm a friggin triathlete, I don't have time for a girlfriend! But a talking frog is pretty cool!!"

Ha ha!! I loved that. Although triathlon takes up a ton of free time, especially Ironman training, if you surround yourself with the right people anything is possible. Especially with the right partner. I couldn't be luckier.

On a women rock note, I was looking through some old Hawaii results and realized that Paula Newby-Fraser went under 9:10 4 times in her career. That is astounding. What an athlete. Keep in mind, she went a 9:01 in 1988. I can't emphasize how impressive that is considering the bike, nutrition, etc technology and lack of training knowledge. To put this in perspective...Chrissie has only done this once in Hawaii. Unreal. Nicely done PNF!!!
