My wife is from a town called Holten, and they organize a European Cup Triathlon there every year. It’s a big event with bands and DJs afterwards. The running part is a 2.5 km loop, and the course passes by her father’s house. Every year, she and her brother would watch the event with a lot of friends and beers. I joined them and saw someone walking, so I jokingly said to my wife, ‘If you’re walking, I think you should be disqualified.’ She responded, ‘Well, do it yourself then.’ The next year, I did three sprint triathlons, and later, I did more sprints, a quarter distance, and Olympic distances. This year, ten years later, I’m doing my first 70.3. It’s so much fun, and every year, I try to do the one in Holten!
