A support group named "A Support Group for Like-Minded Wives of Those Training for the First Annual Fountain Valley 3rd Ward Memorial Day Triathlon" or SGLMWTTFAFV3WMDT has been founded. It's founder, Jillyn Huffmire, describes the founding of the group as "a labor of love" and "something we all feel passionately about". To date the group has 3 charter members: Jillyn, Carrie Farr and Elaine Miller.
It's purpose is to create favorable environments for their husbands to effectively train for the event. What a great example! We encourage everyone to support this group. They meet 5 days a week from 7pm-10pm (or "bedtime" as described by Jillyn) at varying locations. When asked who cares for the children during this time Jillyn answered "our husbands." When pressed for an explanation on how exactly this helps their husbands train we were curtly dismissed and told, "These meetings are closed to outsiders." [emphasis added]
We appreciate the example of these wives in supporting the FV3 Memorial Day Triathlon. If you have other inspirational stories such as this please direct our staff and we'll track it down.
