Sherry & Dana strategizing in NYC…..
Jodi being tri support mom in Las Vegas….
When the TriWivesClub began in 2013, we were three – Dana, Jodi, and Sherry – wives of triathletes. However, we became two when Jodi had to step back earlier this year due to her full-time job! While she is still a huge part of hearts and always will be and still contributes when she can, Dana and I have had to carry on ourselves.
For those not as familiar with this sport, it involves 3 disciplines –swimming, biking, and running; a variety of distances from Sprints to a full Ironman; and in-seasons and off-seasons. Had it not been for our desperation to find enough activities to occupy a 15 hour race day (that had its beginning at 4 AM mind you), our friendship never would have flourished. Part of what kept us occupied included sharing stories about our guys. We soon realized we had so many and couldn’t possibly be alone. While we only see each other a few times a year, we keep in touch and are supportive in times of need.
While our experiences focus on being wives of triathletes, this site is meant to be all-inclusive to any partner of a triathlete. It could even be translated to most any other sport. We’re sure the partner of a baseball player or golfer will easily find solace with us. We hope you join us on our journey as we take you behind the scenes of living with a triathlete. We have a wealth of information to pass on for managing this lifestyle and will let you in on how we keep our sanity and sense of humor. We promise it will be fun…….

Hi, I am the mother of an athlete and with my son’s girlfriend we have been to ten full distance races and even more halfs. If anyone wants info on CDA, St. Croix, Lake Placid, Kona, and St. George such as where to watch, stay, sight see, and eat – but not technical course info, please let me know. Your site is great!
Hi Anne. We’re so happy you found us. Welcome. You actually gave us a great idea to develop a template that visitors can complete for each race and then we’ll share the information. Be thinking about what you can include for Kona as we will be doing many pieces coming up. Thanks so much for you comment.

With a family of six, I really enjoy this site. Great work!
Wow, surprised you found the time to view the site!!! Thanks so much. Let us know if there’s any topic you’d like to see us cover.
I would love to have a shirt with your logo to wear to my husbands races! Do you ladies have them for sale?
You’re the second person to ask today, Robyn. We love it. It actually is on our “winter to do list” and our vendor will have them ready for the 2015 season! Will keep everyone updated. Thanks so much.
Oh my gosh, I’ve been wanting a site like this for so long! My husband has been doing tris for a little over two seasons now and I only wish I’d discovered you ladies earlier!
Hi Kristen. Well, we’re thrilled you found us now. And, can we ask how you did? Please let us know if there are any topics you’d like to see covered and spread the word we’re here!!!!
