When was the last time you were having a conversation with your triathlete and they just started talking about their training? It had no connection to your conversation whatsoever. Did you get the feeling they were never into your conversation to begin with or have they mastered the art of the multi-conversation? If it hasn’t happened to you yet, expect it. We trisupporters are all…

I was stuck in a rut making the same 2 bars and seeing National Granola Bar Day on the calendar made be want to shake it up some. So, I decided…

Calling all Spectators! Your athlete may be ramping up their training sessions as the off-season ends, so now is the perfect time for you to think about getting in race day shape yourself. Don’t be fooled into thinking spectating is easy and not a sport. You’ll need to be as equally prepared for whatever challenges race days throw at you as your triathlete, so it’s…

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…

We recently were fortunate to escape the cold and snow in NYC for the beach life in Naples, Florida. Friends of ours from the UK recently remodeled a home and were kind enough to invite us to spend New Year’s with them. For us, it’s an easy flight to Naples out of Westchester Airport in White Plains. In under 3 hours, we land in Ft….

They tell me “We Are So Much More” than TriWives……..Really? Sometimes it sure doesn’t feel that way to me. My life feels overwhelming sometimes. I struggle to fit my loved one’s training schedule together with his and my work schedules (I work full time), so that we actually get to see each other and spend some cherished, fleeting moments together. It’s at these times that…

This is a very bitter sweet time for me. The race season starts for my trihubby at the first of the year and the kids are headed back to school after 18 days at home, but do we have a season? And really, this is the first time EVER they have been home for this long without having other activities planned. We are usually away…

We were trying to decide what to post about the New Year and came across this article by Lindsay Cotter, who writes Cotter Crunch. We loved her brilliant idea of picking a word to focus on to make the new year and our lives better and it seemed like a “resolution” we could easily stick to and not forget about come March. First, we’re…

As most of us think about the New Year, you hear things like: Goals – I need to set what I am going to achieve in 2014. Starting the first of the year, I am going to …… My New Year’s resolutions are…..and so on. But, if you live with triathletes, at least in our households, it seems to be a much different conversation. The…
