Here are my top 5 sports most likely to lead to an angry spouse:

1) Golf- The amount of money and time required to improve can leave your woman quite angry.

2) Fishing- It's done in large blocks of time, often involves the purchase of a boat, and takes up whole weekends and lots of evenings.

3) Triathlon- One has to put in an amazing amount of hours to do this right. Just ask Archaea.

4) Cycling- Takes a minimum 3 hours to get a "good" Saturday ride in. Very tempting to put in an hour or 2 in the evenings.

5) Hunting- I'll be honest, I couldn't come up with a good #5.

I assume you realize that TANDEMS solve the problem for number 4?

Boat? Who fly fishes with a boat?

You're going about this wrong. Buy your wife a set of clubs or her own fishing rod and reel and make it a date activity. She'll eventually come around.

I've been thinking of doing it this year. I think it fills up fast but let me ponder it for a day or two.

Great.

My daughter is also heading to BYU I this year.

How does it solve problem #4 when you have 3 small kids? If you can solve this problem for me, then I am set for life, or at least for next saturdays requisite 3-4 hour training ride.

For you it will take a triple and a trailer. YOu'll have thighs the size of eric heiden if you are pulling that train all over Northern Claifornia.
