This year feels very odd to me. We only have one race on the schedule, IMAZ. It was my trihubby’s first Ironman and will remain special in that way. I am very excited to go back, but it seems super weird that the season is starting so late and may only have one race on the schedule. But, I was truly taken aback when he…

We have found over the years that living with a triathlete provides many unforgettable and often unbelievable statements that give pause. Some of what comes out of their mouths just has to be shared. But, we’ve also found it’s not just the triathlete that utters these comments; we’re often just as guilty as is the rest of the family. So, we decided in the spirit of being…

It’s National Meatball Day!!! Meatballs have been a staple in our culture and are a comfort food for many. They seem to be gaining in popularity these days, with restaurants even popping up devoted to them, such as The Meatball Shop in NYC. Since they are also one of my favorites, I decided to share one of my recipes. Meatless meatballs are one of the…

It took me a while to nail this one down…because let’s face it, once “The Season” starts, it doesn’t feel like there is EVER a non-triathlon weekend. If it isn’t a Race Weekend, then it is a Pre-Race Weekend, a Post-Race Recovery Weekend, or an Essential Training Weekend. What?!? Ok, ok, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Maybe I need to define these terms before…

My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful ski vacation. He’s an expert, I’m an advanced beginner/intermediate on a good day.

Hence, we were back…

SHERRY chose RELEASE: to free from something that confines, constrains, or holds back. Not really being into resolutions, but still wanting to participate in the spirit of the season, the TriWives chose to opt for the “one word resolution” as our friend, Lindsay Cotter, had suggested and we loved the idea. You have just read what word I chose. But walking my dogs the other morning, I…

Broccoli Soup is a staple in our house, especially when broccoli is in season. But, it’s a vegetable you can get year round, so it can always be prepared. It is fast, easy, and healthy, not to mention yummy. I could always seem to get my kids to eat this soup, which made this mom very happy. INGREDIENTS: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion,…

Our house is a lot different than most. Ever since my husband decided to become a triathlete, he has also became a weekly commuter. I’m not talking the taking the train into New York City type of commuter. I’m talking flying to Florida or Nebraska from our home in Austin type. Add to this situation the fact that he doesn’t cook and has special dietary…
