As we all sit in our homes having breakfast and planning dinner, we know we can run to the market and pick up what we need. It is a luxury to be able to jump in the car and run to the market for an extra pound of ground beef or a quart of milk. It is not often that we think of the farmer…

California is a state we love for many reasons, well beyond triathlons. You can experience the ocean to the mountains and everything in-between within hours. Surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon if you want; it’s all at your doorstep. And, don’t even get us started on the wine and food. California has some of our favorite vineyards and restaurants in the world….

Several things happened to me in the past 6 months. I discovered I weighed the most I’ve EVER WEIGHED IN MY LIFE and then I realized a possible cause; I was getting SO bored with my current exercise regimen that I was finding any excuse not to do it and having great success!

How many times do you plan vacations, get-togethers, and getaways for your family and it’s like a crazy whirlwind of trying to get everyone at one place at one time? There are plane tickets, hotels, car transfers, train tickets, dog sitters, experiences, reservations, and don’t forget the food. I am crazy for detail and need to have a plan, then a backup plan, and then…

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.

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…

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!
