If you are reading this, big congratulations must be in order to your triathlete on making it to Kona and to you for getting a great vacation in Hawaii. We’ve all been at least twice and it remains awe-inspiring. From the banquets to the underwear run to the parade to the energy in the town to the finish line….. It is an experience like no…

We attended the Ironman 70.3 World Championship race a few years back that was held in the Henderson and Lake Las Vegas areas and not near the strip.

I was born…

When the TriWivesClub began in 2013, we were three – Dana, Jodi, and Sherry – wives of triathletes. However, we became two when Jodi had to step back earlier this year due to her full-time job! While she is still a huge part of hearts and always will be and still contributes when she can, Dana and I have had to carry on ourselves. For…
