Let’s first lay down the ground work…. Triathletes swim, bike, AND run, so you are dealing with three different types of laundry and we, as triwives, must find inner peace with this phenomenon when doing a the laundry. We’d like nothing better than to say they do their own laundry, but who are we kidding. There are unique characteristics to the triathlete’s wardrobe and…
