Triathlon training is tough no matter what and we know we don’t really have to tell you that. Many people work out two times a day and it can get really hard if you live with a partner, wife, and/or kids. Especially the kids! Think about the hours you put in training alone. Now, figure in those hours you spend preparing to work out; getting…

My husband’s last triathlon this year was in March at Ironman 70.3 California and that’s it for the rest of the year. I have noticed changes in him, which I will write about at a later date, but since this reality set in, I have surprisingly noticed a change in my attitude and have experienced a whole mixed bag of reactions throughout this summer. So,…

My husband decided to start eating scallops again after not wanting them for a long time. He had them at a party and decided they were worth another try. When I was single and ate fish, many many years ago, these were kind of my “go to” fancy dinner menu as they looked and tasted great, but most importantly for me at the time, were…

If you’re like us, as a triwife/tripartner of a triathlete, you’re spending a lot of alone time this time of year – it’s RACE SEASON. Yeah! With our triathletes working full-time during the week and often on weekends, plus having brutal training schedules, we’re left to fend for ourselves and our families. It took a lot of adjustment and we’re still not always happy campers,…

Using real food in training can get difficult, not only in terms of convenience, but for making sure it’s nutritionally what’s needed for your athlete. Plus, I find that so many of the recipes for bars and whatnot have too much in them and we like to keep it simple and clean. We’ve been playing around – yes I say we, meaning me and my…

I know, I know. We do a lot of complaining about being married to a triathlete. As triwives/partners they give us plenty to bitch about. And, okay, most of it is justified. But, there are some reasons why we have to admit, it’s not all that bad and in fact, can be pretty darn special. But, can you believe we came up with 22 reasons…

Packing for a race can be daunting and take up a lot of space! The list of what to pack can be so long, but there are certain items that are always on the top of that list, because they are what we often tend to forget. I decided to ask my triathlete husband what some of his must have items are and together, we…

I am forever and always looking to add cumin and turmeric into our food as much as possible. I not only love their taste, but they are super good for you! My absolute favorite, though, is their flavor on winter squash and pumpkins. I was so excited to find organic fresh butternut squash at the market recently, that I took advantage of it and…

I honestly can’t believe it’s almost the end of July. This fact is so depressing to me. I can’t even imagine that winter will be here before I know it after last year. What’s even more depressing is that I feel I’ve wasted a lot of the summer, not doing the activities I had planned, like buying a new bike and riding down to the…

If your triathlete is anything like ours, they love new triathlon “stuff”. They go to the expos and races and read all the triathlon-related magazines. Our houses are filled with triathlon gear. While the excitement has waned a bit over of the years, I don’t think it will ever go away. Enter a relatively new venture (late 2014) called GearGeekBox, that was started by self-proclaimed…

Whether you’re headed to Calgary, Canada for vacation or Ironman 70.3 Calgary, you need ideas on food and fun. While we may not be going to the race, we have a great friend who lives in the area, so we went to Denise Katelnikoff for the inside scoop. Besides living there, her husband is a phenomenal age group triathlete – seriously – and her kids…

It’s that time of the year again! TRI SEASON!!! You’ve probably already been out there spectating, but if not, will probably have the opportunity very soon. We’ve already got 4 races under our belts! So, we thought we’d put together some must have items for the well-prepared triathlon spectator on race day, both going solo and with kids. It can be a difficult day…

We believe that life should be done well. From travel to food to fabulous finds, life should be lived with gusto, style, and sparkle, along with generosity and kindness. Because a life done well isn’t just about a luxury lifestyle, but it’s a great start!
