It was bound to happen at some point. After doing close to 20 full Ironman races, the odds are stacking against you. They say pretty much every triathlete encounters this during their “career”, including most pros. It’s just part of the sport. To what am I referring? Ugh…The DNF…. Well, it happened to my trihubby at Ironman Arizona. He had a really good swim, was…

None of us have ever been to Ironman Cozumel, but with the race coming up on November 30, we wanted to get you some information if you’re going. One of our readers, Nanci Hulting, was kind enough to provide us with some travel, food, fun, and spectating tips from when her husband did the race in 2012. For your information, it is a one-loop swim, a…

It has officially been six months since my husband, David, was hit by a drunk driver while out on a training ride on his bike (I still tear up when I say or write that). This past week was Ironman Arizona which was to be his “A” race of 2014. You can only imagine the emotion in our house race day, when he was tracking…

This post will be short and sweet. On the plane coming to Ironman Arizona, I read a feature in Bazaar magazine called, “What’s In Our Clutches?” My mind immediately changed clutches to backpacks and hence, the making of a new post was born. We’ve written an article telling you what you SHOULD have in your backpack, but I wanted to know what was REALLY in…

Well, we thought it was a great plan when we built our house… We recently moved to Omaha and live downtown in the wonderful Old Market. We took several apartments in a boutique building and combined them into our home on a wonderful southeast corner that gets the morning and day sun. It is beautiful and we love it! It was about a year ago…

I asked my husband what was most memorable to him about the Four Seasons and this is what he said. “I love how we get there at night and you drive down this long road and there’s this anticipation. You pull up to the main building and are greeted so warmly, it’s so quiet, and you’re just taken care of. Then you go to…

One of my friends joined our ranks this summer and is an official TRIWIFE. (I’m so proud). Actually, I’m so proud of both of them. We’re talking a late bloomer here people…I asked Holly to share her experience and tell us what it’s like to be a newbie and how we can help. Enjoy her story and be sure to let her know what tidbits…

Updated 2018: All events and spectating are current for 2018. I actually lived in Phoenix for quite a few years, so enjoy going back to see how the area has changed, not to mention catching up with old friends. We did our Food, Fun, and Spectating pieces last year, so I’m just giving you some updates and a few new things to do and see….

Whether your triathlete’s last race of the season was Kona, a local race, or is coming up at Rev3 Florida, it all brings us to the same place – off-season. No matter who you talk to…pros, coaches, your family doctor, or other triathletes, they will all say taking time off is a necessity. Not only for the triathlete, but for the family, who has also…

We’re here with updates to our posts from last year’s race: Rev3 Venice, FL – Food & Fun, Places to Eat and Things To Do. Most of the items are still current, but I’ve given you those that aren’t and a couple of new events to check out. Hopefully, this helps you have a good idea of what you want to do and where to eat while…

We know that living with a triathlete, travel can become a bit sticky. They are always worried about the giant questions, “Where am I going to train? Is there a pool that I can swim in-like a real pool? Can I bring my bike?” Why not make it easy on everyone and plan that trip around a race! We do and it keeps everyone happy….

One of my favorite cuisines is Mexican, but I very seldom get to have it. My husband can’t have tomatoes and peppers, so that pretty much restricts most items on the menu… And, while I can, I probably shouldn’t….But, once in a while I make a dish that we both can have and I just love – Butternut Squash & Corn Enchiladas. It’s definitely a…
