CLERMONT, Fla., A 38-year-old woman say she married her fiance in Clermont, Fla., moments before they started their new life together by running a triathlon.
Danelle Weidman said during her relationship with Kent Fawcett, 43, the couple have taken part in 50 long-distance races, but none more important than Saturday's Great Floridian Triathlon, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Sunday.
"We think it's a great way to start our life together," the flight attendant said. "Do what you love, love what you do and do it with who you love."
After saying "I do" to one another Saturday, Weidman and Fawcett tried to swim 2.4 miles, bicycle 112 miles and run a 26-mile marathon. Pain forced Fawcett to withdraw nearly eight miles before the end of his run, but his wife completed the endurance race.
"You really find out who someone is after you spend seven hours together biking or running 50 miles," Weidman told the Sentinel of the experience of participating alongside a loved one. "We've seen the good, the bad, the ugly and sweaty reality of each other. I couldn't love him more."
