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…

This is a very bitter sweet time for me. The race season starts for my trihubby at the first of the year and the kids are headed back to school after 18 days at home, but do we have a season? And really, this is the first time EVER they have been home for this long without having other activities planned. We are usually away…

We were trying to decide what to post about the New Year and came across this article by Lindsay Cotter, who writes Cotter Crunch. We loved her brilliant idea of picking a word to focus on to make the new year and our lives better and it seemed like a “resolution” we could easily stick to and not forget about come March. First, we’re…

If you’ve read any of our “We Are So Much More” posts, you know that the TriWives do a lot of work with non-profit organizations. Fundraising happens to come with the territory, but for the majority of us, it is the most painstaking part. It just seems to be so difficult to either ask people to donate to your organization or to get others, such…

I AM A RUNNER. I never thought I would be calling myself a runner for many reasons. First of all, I am: a busy mom of twins a single mom all week while my trihubby commutes from Austin to Omaha a wife who handles all travel and tri-related details for my trihubby a dog guardian of three very busy and needy pups, ranging in age…
Continue readingYes, I am a triwife, but I am so much more. This fall, like most years in recent memory, I have spent much of my time working on fundraisers for great organizations. We, as a family, believe in giving back and we look for causes that are dear to our hearts. I sit on the Director’s Council of the UT Preforming Arts Center, volunteer at…

All I was trying to do was find a great, meaningful summer camp opportunity for my twins, when I stumbled upon the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a non-profit marine rescue hospital. My kids spent their days learning about the environment in our new community, the Gulf of Mexico, and all that surrounds it from the Mongroves to sea turtles to marine animals. At the time, the…
Continue readingThe TriWives decided it might be a good idea to let you know that we are so much more than the women behind the triathletes. We’ve all had or continue to have careers and of course, have outside interests that fulfill our souls. Sunday, for instance, while Dana tweeted her heart out and met with contractors, Jodi struggled with some difficult work issues facing her…

Big news – we’ll be going to both the 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant and the World’s in Kona!! But, it is definitely bittersweet as Dana’s husband was struck by a car on his bike, so is out of racing for the…
