This is a great topic of discussion for us.
When does working out and training for an event take too much time away from family?
Is it different if your spouse isn't a swimmer or athletic?
How does your spouse feel about how much you train each week?
What comprimises have you made?

What's funny is I trained with Jordan (featured in the article) on Thursday July 5th, 2007 at Asphalt Green in NYC, he gave me a ride back by my hotel which was pretty close to his office. Very nice guy.
I'm with Louise on the kids being my greatest acheivment in life. That said, I try to mitigate by working out immediately following my age-group coaching twice a week, and then once on the weekend.
I wouldn't trade my relationship with my wife for anything (even swimming in the Olympiad).
