I’ve been thinking I would like to summit Mont Blanc. For context Im a triathlete, I’m in peak physical condition and heavy on endurance sports. Never attempted alpinism.

I would be fully guided and make any preparation necessary. I get the idea that it is completely doable since it’s not a very technical summit. Is this the case? I have a particular interest in montblanc, and if possible would prefer to avoid doing expensive training in other mountains. I would take every necessary training seriously as I do with everything.

Is this reckless?

I’ve always been fit, and lately I’ve been getting even fitter because of heavy training. My girlfriend does not accompany me in any of this training. I don’t expect her to become a triathlete, but she could come on a run with me sometimes. She always makes excuses for exercise, even though she is assiduous in the gym (4x week) she puts on weight in fat and her body just doesn’t do it for me. Even though she’s not fat per se, she’s not fit and actually with pretty bad heart health (we went for a run and tracked her HR). She looks like she’s at the end of a dirty bulk. Completely reversible in two months.

Every activity I suggest, even if not physical, is always answered with a no, because she doesn’t like to do things that she’s not good at. I’m the exact opposite and will go hobby horsing tomorrow if someone invites me. I think this is because of her lack of energy in general. This leads to her having ABSOLUTELY no hobbies whatsoever, and nothing to talk about. If we’re in a group table for an entire afternoon she will speak twice maybe. No real opinions or anything. I can’t help to correlate this to her lack of youthfulness partially because of sedentarism. I think this because I know what sports did to me and can do to anyone in terms of overall energy, confidence and mood.

She knows this, and is insecure, so I must be very careful. When I invite her for a run or whatever I always mention it’s good for her heart health, to steer her away from thinking I think she’s out of shape. But she knows deep down. I initiate less sex and am rarely in the mood because I’m not very attracted to her. I would be if she would even be a bit more spicy or whatever but she’s just always in a low energy state and kind of “without salt”. Her libido is also not great. I get attention from other women, and try my best to not have wandering eyes but I know how things will evolve if this continues. I often find myself thinking there are so many interesting women out there that would accompany me in my fitness journey, or in anything for that matter, that would have character in a group setting, and share interests with me. I have a very strong, rememberable personality and often the most enthusiastic in any group setting, while she’s just bland.

We’ve been together for a long time and our relationship is obviously more than physical. But I find myself thinking many times if there are other fish in the sea for me.

I don’t want to end anything. Too long we’ve been together, we share the same friend group and I believe this is salvageable. However she’s very sensitive and mentioning this to her just causes her to start crying. I know she has insecurities, so I thread lightly. I don’t know how to progress from here. I just wish she had more life in her. What to do?

Tldr lazy girlfriend, incompatible lifestyles, unnactractive body

Sou um recente triatleta como manda a moda. Estou com dificuldades em encontrar piscinas boas, 25/50 metros e com profundidade. As públicas das juntas são sempre pouco profundas para poderem dar aulas de hidroginástica e assim. Neste momento treino na do solinca e não chega… alguém conhece opções?

Bónus se houver alguma piscina exterior para natação. Não encontro ao pesquisar, certamente haverá alguma.
