Luckily, we have friends who have done the race several times and another friend who actually lives there and owns a restaurant. So, we’re…

Vacationing with a triathlete may sound like a cruel joke. Why? Well, there are two main issues that get in the way – training/race season and budgets.

If your triathlete is anything like ours, the off-season is very short so working in a trip can be…

Do triwives and triathletes pick race locations for the same reason? What are their favorite race venues and why? Which races are on their wish lists?

What better time to find the answers to these…

Our house is a lot different than most. Ever since my husband decided to become a triathlete, he has also became a weekly commuter. I’m not talking the taking the train into New York City type of commuter. I’m talking flying to Florida or Nebraska from our home in Austin type. Add to this situation the fact that he doesn’t cook and has special dietary…

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…
Continue readingMy story, well really, a great one in my book. One I have worked really hard for. It starts many, many years ago, but for tri purposes, this life started in 2007 and wow, I am so happy it did. Back in 2007, our family relocated from the west coast of Florida to Austin, TX. My trihubby, David, arrived in Austin nine months before the…

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…
