During the off season, it’s often hard for triathletes to decompress. We think of it this way. For 10 or 11 months of the year, they dedicate 2-6 hours a day training (at least ours do). Then, add the prep time and downloading training time, reading triathlon magazines, looking on-line at the newest gear and everything else, and many hours a day are eaten up…

Over the years, we have determined that buying gifts just to buy gifts simply doesn’t make sense. When your triathlete never really wants for anything, they are hard to buy for and let’s face it, they are always shopping for themselves, it makes it very difficult for us triwives/partners to come up with unique ideas. So, I came up with a plan to do something…

Vacationing with a triathlete may sound like a cruel joke. Why? Well, there are two main issues that get in the way – training/race season and budgets. But, these issues make it even more imperative that you get affordable city getaways to recover from race season. If your triathlete is anything like ours, the off-season is very short so working in a trip can be…

Travel as we age can pose a whole new set of issues ranging from finances to our health to how far away is the destination. But, it certainly doesn’t mean that armed with a little knowledge, we still can’t have amazing adventures. For some, nothing actually will change much at all, but those are the lucky few. For the rest of us, some adjustments in…

Life is crazy, period. It is busy, active, stressful, and wonderful, all wrapped into 24 hours in a day. Add being part of a triathlon family and it not only compounds the situation, but affects everyone… and not always in a positive way. We find that with all the craziness, even in a healthy and active family, we tend to forget the little things, because…

Traveling when you’re getting up there in years is a bit different from when you are 25. Granted, you may have the financial resources to do more, but the rest of you may not be as cooperative. While I’ve heard things like 50 is the new 30, when you’ve had years of wear and tear on your body from activities like gymnastics, skiing, and running,…

But, since living with a triathlete Sherry WernickeSherry is one of the TriWivesClub and LifeDoneWell co-founders and contributes to multiple…

I like to talk to other people when I’m traveling, besides whomever I’m traveling with! Locals are really the best. You get a wealth of information about things to do and where to eat that you may never find online, in travel books, or on your own. Striking up these conversations have really saved me from wasting both time and money at places that weren’t…
