The First Couple of Triathlon

On the eve of the Los Angeles Triathlon, the Los Angeles Times features pre-race favorites Tim and Nicole DeBoom: the couple with an iron will.

"It's kind of a weird job," Tim said. "You have to do it every day. It certainly helps to have someone who relates to the sacrifices you have to make to be a competitive triathlete. I don't think either of us would be where we are without each other."
