But, all was well on Saturday morning and as you can see in the picture above, there was plenty of blue sky. The TriWives had one of their husbands racing, but…

Continue readingOFF SEASON – If they haven’t already, most triathletes are coming to an end of their race season and entering what is affectionately known as “off season.” We have been wondering amongst ourselves what exactly defines “off season” and wondering if it truly exists – our triathletes seem to work hard year round. We decided to take it to the people who know best –…

Our triathletes’ relationships with their coaches have varied over the years. They’ve ranged from very close friends to an online relationship only.

I’ve seen my husband literally write…
