UP CLOSE WITH CHARLIE PATTEN OF REV3

We love this interview with Charlie Patten of Rev3 on Slowtwitch.  He talks about the future of Rev3 AND the sport of triathlons and he should know.  If you or your triathlete have not done a Rev3 race, you really should check into it.  They are in great locations, tons of fun, and family friendly.  We have had the distinct pleasure of writing articles for Rev3,…

We usually post very upbeat, positive musings and this one took a curve I actually wasn’t expecting.  But keep reading as it’s not all doom and gloom.  This site is meant to…

MULTI-CONVERSING AND THE TRIATHLETE

When was the last time you were having a conversation with your triathlete and they just started talking about their training?  It had no connection to your conversation whatsoever.  Did you get the feeling they were never into your conversation to begin with or have they mastered the art of the multi-conversation?  If it hasn’t happened to you yet, expect it.  We trisupporters are all…

BEEN SAYING “NO” A LOT – MAYBE IT’S TIME TO SAY” YES”!

They tell me “We Are So Much More” than TriWives……..Really?  Sometimes it sure doesn’t feel that way to me. My life feels overwhelming sometimes.  I struggle to fit my loved one’s training schedule together with his and my work schedules (I work full time), so that we actually get to see each other and spend some cherished, fleeting moments together.  It’s at these times that…
