About 19 years ago I was in a committed relationship with an athlete. She was mostly a triathlon athletic. OMG, it was so much work for me. I had to get up early prepare her food and drinks, load the bikes, and her gear. Set up when we got to the event. Pump her up to do her best. And run around with a camera to catch her events.
One triathlon I wore myself out preparing her so she had to drive us home. Haha!
One race I found a beer tent, haha! That was the best race for me.
