In case you haven’t noticed, we like our wine at the TriWivesClub. It is definitely one of our pleasures and a way to cope with the triathlon lifestyle…at times…But, we’ve actually even started to get a bit more sophisticated about wine and learning what constitutes a good wine from a “why am I drinking this crap” wine. It has been an experience, however, albeit a…

While we love to travel every chance we get, we do think about what damage we inflict on the environment at the same time. From energy use in transportation to all of the disposable products to food we waste, it’s hard not to have a negative impact. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. There are a few easy things you can do to…

We do a lot of solo travel and love it, but it hasn’t always been easy. It takes awhile to get used to travel alone and some people never do and simply won’t. We, on the other hand, would never think to NOT travel, because we had to go by ourselves. In fact, it’s often one of our favorite ways to escape… The “getting used…

Welcome to a new TriWivesClub 4 part series on the favorite states that triathletes can call home. Each will feature our favorite states, along with a few featured cities. The series will be divided into the south, west, midwest, and the northeast. Now, we realize you midwesterners and east coasters may have it tough in the winter, but the other regions have it tough in…

We’re not sure about you, but we travel a lot and make food (and cocktails) a big part of our travel. Which means, we are always up for learning about the latest and greatest destinations. That’s why we love the New York Times Travel Show. Whether you are going to shop for new and exciting travel ideas or to check out the food scene, you…

We would love to always be able to plan way ahead for our vacations, but all too often life intervenes and we aren’t allowed this luxury, so we head off for a quick getaway. And, hey, sometimes travel spontaneity is really the way to go, especially if you’ve had the week from hell and really, really need to leave it all behind and unwind. When that…

My husband has always been a triathlete who trains solo. Oh, they’d be the occasional rides with friends on weekends, but that was rare, especially when he was training for a race. The reason was always explained to me as follows… It’s too hard to do what I need to do when I’m riding with someone else. I have to follow what Matt (his coach)…

I am a collegiate athlete parent. That sounds really fancy, doesn’t it? It sounds like I have a great athlete on a college scholarship to play sports and everything is easy and taken care of. But, the reality is a bit different. In fact, most parents of college athletes pay not only for college, but everything that goes along with the sport. For every Big…

Many triathletes have probably experienced that “I just don’t want to or can’t do this anymore” feeling. It may have come about because of an injury, race setback, or they’re just plain exhausted. While most have something jolt them back to reality and the world of triathlons, there are those that just have a lot of trouble snapping out of it and getting remotivated to…

Florida is one of our favorite places to visit, race, and train, especially the Gulf Coast. We have found that the beaches are amazing, the food clean and delicious, and that there’s plenty to do for the active sports’ family. Yes, there are the beaches and amazing cultural activities, but beyond that,

Getting away for us is not always about planning a big vacation. With our busy lives, we often are planning last minute getaways. But, finding locations that are warm, relaxing, and filled with luxury wasn’t always easy until we focused on the Caribbean. The area offers diverse islands that range from private islands to resorts to countries filled with tradition and cities waiting to be…

We’re pretty much at the stage in our lives when holiday gift giving is exhausting and presents just don’t seem to hold the same allure anymore. So, we kind of stopped giving them for the holidays. Birthdays, yes, but not Xmas and Hanukkah. All the kids are grown and out of the house – no grandkids yet – and we’re all fortunate that we can…

We believe that life should be done well. From travel to food to fabulous finds, life should be lived with gusto, style, and sparkle, along with generosity and kindness. Because a life done well isn’t just about a luxury lifestyle, but it’s a great start!
