I used to try a lot of beauty products when I was younger. Well, actually not that long ago…I’d read a great review in a magazine and just have to buy it. Usually I ended up being disappointed and it’s probably still sitting in a drawer. I tend to hoard beauty products, because I guess I think they’ll get better with age or I’ll use…

I recently checked off the one place in this world I’ve always wanted to visit…New Zealand. I’m not quite sure why, but I’ve had this notion that I simply had to see it AND go bungie jumping.

Traveling to a triathlon is not always an easy task, but when you are taking teenagers to triathlons, there is so much you need to consider. While having kids in tow is awesome, teens really need special TLC when considering which triathlons to take them to. More than likely they would much rather stay at home with their friends then have to travel to a…

While the triathlon season is over for pretty much everyone unless you’re doing Ironman Australia, choosing triathlon venues for races to do in the new season is just heating up. There are many reasons why your triathlete may pick a venue related to racing itself. For instance, they know they do better on flat bike courses so pick races to match that strength. But, how…

It is hard to believe that triathlon training season is actually here again. We were just writing about the joys of off-season, weren’t we? But as all good things must come to an end, so must off-season. We’re not feeling too sorry for ourselves, though, as there are pros and cons to both seasons. While we do enjoy the downtime activities, time together, and especially…

There is this little window of time that happens each year for a triathlete and their supporters. It’s called off-season. For some, it lasts 4-6 weeks and for others, it may be as long as 3 months. But, no matter how long it lasts, it is the most precious time in a triathlon supporter’s life. For those of you out there who never get to experience…

To quote my husband, “If we have to do another whirlwind sightseeing trip and look at more cathedrals, shoot me now.” Translation – time to find a trip that’s out of the ordinary or I’m staying home. Challenge accepted. The Royal Scotsman found. If you’re anything like me, you’ve had this romantic notion about taking a trip on the Orient Express. We’ve all seen it…
