Our triathletes’ relationships with their coaches have varied over the years. They’ve ranged from very close friends to an online relationship only. Regardless, it has always been with someone they can pour their hearts out to when they’ve had a tough race; someone who truly understands; and someone who knows exactly what to say to make it all better. I’ve seen my husband literally write…

Spends many hours away from home; is in the company of an attractive, physically fit, disciplined person of the opposite sex; comes home sweaty and out of breath; makes excuses for why they’re late, such as had a flat tire – sounds like the scenario for a spouse having an affair, doesn’t it?

I never thought this would happen in our household – my triathlete husband literally stopped training. There are no more 4am workouts in the basement; no more swims after work; no more 7-hour bricks on the weekends. We now actually go out to dinner at 8pm, since he’s not getting up early. I’ve seen movies on Saturday afternoons AND nights. He goes grocery shopping with…

Continue readingSometimes it’s just not convenient to go to the gym/pool for a swim or you can’t swim outside due to the weather; that’s when an endless pool starts to sound really good.

The Races….wait, let me say that again with the proper emphasis and reverence….THE RACES. Simply put, they are the reason we are here. They are the reason the three of us met. They are the reason our tri-guys live, breathe, and obsess. Frankly, they are the ultimate force that our lives seem to orbit around! All of our other posts and topics have life here,…
