I know, I know. We do a lot of complaining about being married to a triathlete. As triwives/partners they give us plenty to bitch about. And, okay, most of it is justified. But, there are some reasons why we have to admit, it’s not all that bad and in fact, can be pretty darn special. But, can you believe we came up with 22 reasons…

My husband and I are moving. After 17 years in our “starter home”, we have decided it’s time to move on. Oh, we’re not going far, just about 6 blocks down the road. Hey, we love this area and plan on staying here for awhile, so we thought it’s time to cut the cord. Sherry WernickeSherry is one of the TriWivesClub and LifeDoneWell co-founders and…

Packing for a race can be daunting and take up a lot of space! The list of what to pack can be so long, but there are certain items that are always on the top of that list, because they are what we often tend to forget. I decided to ask my triathlete husband what some of his must have items are and together, we…

The emotions of my triathlete as they pertain to training and racing are pretty clear and centered around his passion. While he works his butt off, it still makes him quite happy and content.

I am so excited!  It’s July, which means I get to buy birthday gifts for teenage girls – two of my nieces.  But, as they are getting older, I’m finding it harder and harder to pick the perfect gift.  I know everyone says to just get them a gift card, but I really don’t like being that gift card person, even though I have been…

I am forever and always looking to add cumin and turmeric into our food as much as possible. I not only love their taste, but they are super good for you! My absolute favorite, though, is their flavor on winter squash and pumpkins. I was so excited to find organic fresh butternut squash at the market recently, that I took advantage of it and…

I honestly can’t believe it’s almost the end of July. This fact is so depressing to me. I can’t even imagine that winter will be here before I know it after last year. What’s even more depressing is that I feel I’ve wasted a lot of the summer, not doing the activities I had planned, like buying a new bike and riding down to the…

If your triathlete is anything like ours, they love new triathlon “stuff”. They go to the expos and races and read all the triathlon-related magazines. Our houses are filled with triathlon gear. While the excitement has waned a bit over of the years, I don’t think it will ever go away. Enter a relatively new venture (late 2014) called GearGeekBox, that was started by self-proclaimed…

Whether you’re headed to Calgary, Canada for vacation or Ironman 70.3 Calgary, you need ideas on food and fun.

We know in an ideal world, there is balance and fairness in our households and relationships with our significant others; living with a triathlete included! Alas, we know we don’t live in that ideal world, but we can dream, can’t we? I started thinking about what my ideal world would look like, which got me thinking about how my husband would envision his ideal triathlon…
