Calling all Spectators! Your athlete may be ramping up their training sessions as the off-season ends, so now is the perfect time for you to think about getting in race day shape yourself. Don’t be fooled into thinking spectating is easy and not a sport. You’ll need to be as equally prepared for whatever challenges race days throw at you as your triathlete, so it’s…

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 of being…

As most of us think about the New Year, you hear things like: Goals – I need to set what I am going to achieve in 2014. Starting the first of the year, I am going to …… My New Year’s resolutions are…..and so on. But, if you live with triathletes, at least in our households, it seems to be a much different conversation. The…

We were recently visiting friends at their newly remodeled house in Maine. The conversation just naturally steered towards triathlons, training, and then towards tri spaces – we had two triathletes and an architect present. My first inclination was to figure out how to turn the conversation into an article for The TriWives and my second was to convince our architect friend, Arlene Avidan, to redo OUR…

So, race registration is done. Check. Now what? We have all been in this exact position and wondered how best to proceed. Are you concerned about how much in advance you have to start booking things and in what order? We sure did. But, since we have lived through it, we’re here to share with you what we have found works best and to let…
Continue readingThe TriWives are very pleased to post this article by a close friend of the family, Martin Avidan, a Kona age group qualifier. We enjoyed his writing so much, we will have to ask him to share more. Recently I went riding with a friend and asked what his HR was (it’s always lower than mine..). His response – “Can’t tell you just now, there’s…

Dana’s daughter captured this video of her tridad entertaining the family during Thanksgiving. David only heard the song -“What Does The Fox Say” – the night before. Never say Ironmen aren’t hip!!! I think he came up with his own interpretation of what the fox says. I certainly don’t remember this rendition in the song. Don’t think Ylvis has to worry about this competition. We…

A while back I wrote an article on my husband’s “pause” from triathlons this year, Triathlete Burnout (Pause) From the Sidelines. He spent most of the summer playing golf and I think, mentally enjoying his time off. The clubs have now been retired for the season and are keeping the bike company in the dining room – not for long as both are being sent…

We can’t believe the Ironman Florida race is over. We were a bit concerned if the weather would cooperate after experiencing high winds and high surf – that closed the beach – on Friday. But, all was well on Saturday morning and as you can see in the picture above, there was plenty of blue sky. The TriWives had one of their husbands racing, but…
