We have found over the years that living with a triathlete provides many unforgettable and often unbelievable statements that give pause. Some of what comes out of their mouths just has to be shared. But, we’ve also found it’s not just the triathlete that utters these comments; we’re often just as guilty as is the rest of the family. So, we decided in the spirit…

We TriWives have become accustomed to a life with a triathlete and the lifestyle of being married to a triathlete. For the most part, love it. It’s not always easy, though. For us, it’s meant big changes in our day-to-day activities, vacations, personal life, dealing with the kids, etc. So, we decided to look at what has worked and what hasn’t for us, to keep…

Okay, it’s finally April and I’m in the mood for thinking about vacations. I’ve had it with winter and being cooped up at home. I did get one vacation in February and guess what we did, SKIED!!!!!

We just loved this post by John Bergquist, an aspiring endurance athlete, who blogs as Fit Knight.

We decided to look at the definition…
