Yes, we know we are all about supporting a triathlete emotionally and at races. Many we are happy to do… We support them by NOT telling them this is a crazy sport and the amount of time it takes is nuts. We support them by just saying “Okay” every time they read something and want to buy something new. We support them by helping with…

Having someone to hang with at a triathlon sounds good right? Who wants to be by yourself for up to 14+ hours during a full distance race? It can be a lonely life out there on the course for a spectator. And it’s especially true if you aren’t staying at a hotel you can make it back to during the race. But while it…

We’ve actually come to love triathlon training camps over the years. They can be great for a family vacation as long as everyone realizes your triathlete will be gone most of the day. And mind you, they are not all created equal. While some are high end and great for the family, others are more like boot camp and geared strictly toward the athlete….

Having a triathlete in your life can be a real strain on personal and family relationships. So much time is spent on training, races, keeping equipment up, and thinking about not just this season, but next season, too…because, of course, you have to register for races a year ahead of time. All of this activity doesn’t leave a lot of quality time for you and…

My triathlete husband and I were at lunch recently. Yes, really…Out for a sit down lunch at a nice restaurant even though he’s in heavy training for a race in less than a month. We were talking about how our allergies were bothering us and that the wind must have kicked up something in the air when he blurts out “I know. You should have…

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…

There is more to the triathlon world than Ironman, Rev 3, and Challenge Family. Many communities also offer local triathlons and go out of their way to make them a great event for the triathlete and fun for families. Besides, these shorter distance local races are a great way to get your feet wet in the sport and the family involved before progressing to longer…

We’re headed to Ironman 70.3 Miami next week to finish out the year. Have to get in one last race, you know. It will be the first time at this race and my first time to Miami in about 30 years. Luckily, we have friends who have done the race several times and another friend who actually lives there and owns a restaurant. So, we’re…
