It can be a lonely life out there on the course for a spectator. And it’s especially true if you aren’t staying at a hotel you can make it back to during the race. But while it may…

I’ve always wanted to go to Boulder Colorado, but it took my husband doing an Ironman race for me to get there. We stayed right downtown just a block from the famous Pearl Street Mall. That meant it was easy walking to shops and restaurants and there are many. That said, it’s also an easy town to get around in driving wise. We happened upon…

With summer here, I’m sure you’ll be invited to a few parties, which means you need to bring along a hostess gift. Instead of the usual bottle of wine or flowers, think a bit outside of the box and  bring something unexpected. Think what you would love to have, but never buy for yourself or something you could really use. Plus, you don’t have to…

Everywhere we travel as a triathlon family means we must have three things… A bike to ride. A pool for laps or open water. A long distance treadmill or safe area to run outside. Now these items, of course, are for the triathlete. But what about the family? Isn’t the most important point of a vacation the happiness of the whole family? Traveling with a…

It was my first visit to Raleigh, but it was immediately obvious what a young, vibrant city it is. So many neighborhoods have or are currently undoing gentrification. As a result, there are restaurants everywhere. One street, Glenwood Avenue, was literally blocks of one restaurant after another. That said, we do have a few favorites worth sharing. If you are visiting from out of town,…

North Carolina is not a state I’ve spent much time visiting, except for Asheville. So, when I found out I would be spending 4 days in Raleigh, I was not sure what to expect. Well, what a pleasant surprise to find a clean, young, and vibrant city filled with gentrified areas, tons of restaurants, and culture to spare. And I also found there was no…

Having a triathlete in your life can be a real strain on personal and family relationships. So much time is spent on training, races, keeping equipment up, and thinking about not just this season, but next season, too…because, of course, you have to register for races a year ahead of time. All of this activity doesn’t leave a lot of quality time for you and…

The New York Botanical Gardens is a must visit for anyone who either lives in or finds themselves visiting the New York area. It’s one of those places that you can visit multiple times because the character of the gardens changes with the season and the exhibits. Which begs the question for me…Why did it take me 20 years of living here to get there?…

This week, our Fabulous Finds focus on accessories that we love. Probably my favorite accessory is a scarf because of the versatility. I do not travel without at least one. So my favorite is included in this list. But, of course, we have found a few other accessories you should know about and here they are… Modern Picnic If you need a really good looking…

When there’s really only one place left in the world that you want to see before you die, you better believe your expectations are REALLY high… That place for me was New Zealand (notice I say was) and I honestly don’t know why. For years, I’ve had this notion that I simply had to see it AND go bungie jumping. In my mind, I’ve pictured…
