We are very fortunate to have Lindsay back as our guest blogger. This time she has found a new breakfast powerhouse that she is in love with and wants to share with the world! As a triathlete, I pay very specific attention to my diet and nutritional needs. I have seen nutritionists and have become an unofficial “researching professional” on everything endurance and diet related….

Over the several years we have been writing this blog, we’ve collected a lot of wisdom from our fellow triwives on just how they achieve this happiness. So, as I sit in my home unable to get out due to a…

I’m the first to admit all the great characteristics I found in triathletes and what it takes to even get started in this sport. But, I’m also the first to admit there are quite a few other character traits they possess, that while on the surface may seem good, heck even great, but when you dig deeper, have a dark side… Now, I could have…

Every Sunday, I prep for the week ahead and yogurt cups are one of the top items on my list. Now, I am in no way a health care professional, a nutritionist, or any other type of specialist.

But, I had an experience at a triathlon last year that really brought home for me what an amazing person my triathlete is and it started me thinking about the…

In case you haven’t noticed, we like our wine at the TriWivesClub. It is definitely one of our pleasures and a way to cope with the triathlon lifestyle…at times…But, we’ve actually even started to get a bit more sophisticated about wine and learning what constitutes a good wine from a “why am I drinking this crap” wine. It has been an experience, however, albeit a…

Not everyone loves having guests in their home, but I really do. I enjoy having a house filled with people and love making them feel comfortable and wanted. In fact, I go out of my way to make them feel right at home. I’ve found over the years that it doesn’t really take a lot of effort or expense, just a bit of time doing…

A recent trip to Hawaii was the first time in many years that my husband and I have been to Kona when NOT going for the Ironman World Championship. It was an actual vacation. Yeah! I was thrilled to be going back to Hawaii, because I’d have an actual playmate. See, when he is in Kona for the race, I’m pretty much on my own,…

If you have to travel with your pet – we’re talking either dog or cat – and haven’t done so in the past, it’s imperative that you find out ahead of time what kind of travelers they are. Trust me, not all dogs are created equal when it comes to travel and many suffer from great anxiety and can even get motion sickness. This is…

Here we are again at the start of a new year and here we are again saying I am going to do this, I am going to do that, and I am going to eat better. Well, yes, we all want to be better, but making your kitchen cleaner to eat better really does not take that much work and having an athlete in the…

When you plan a vacation with a triathlete, there’s certainly the usual considerations that we’ve written about before like: Is there easy access to training, such as a pool/lake? Will you have to bring the bike or can you rent one? Are there kid friendly activities nearby to keep the family occupied? Will you have access to training essentials, such as nutrition? But, there are…
