With 2019 just around the corner and my super busy life, I have to take time to ensure I have my personal, work, and travel in order. Planning, tracking, and managing day-to-day means calendars, stationary, plans, and a few other things all need to be in place. And when it comes to all of this activity, I am a true paper person. I need for…

Yes, we know we are all about supporting a triathlete emotionally and at races. Many we are happy to do… We support them by NOT telling them this is a crazy sport and the amount of time it takes is nuts. We support them by just saying “Okay” every time they read something and want to buy something new. We support them by helping with…

I have always been a little worried and some call me nuts about doing the best I can for the future of our planet. I recycle and drive as little as possible. While I admit I have a magazine and New York Times subscription, I do not use plastic bottles, I do not have a microwave, and so on. But I know darn well it…

Sitka Alaska is a fabulous town. But I have to confess, we were not expecting much. Like most people who visit, we were there to get on a cruise.

It can be a lonely life out there on the course for a spectator. And it’s especially true if you aren’t staying at a hotel you can make it back to during the race. But while it…

We’ve actually come to love triathlon training camps over the years. They can be great for a family vacation as long as everyone realizes your triathlete will be gone most of the day. And mind you, they are not all created equal. While some are high end and great for the family, others are more like boot camp and geared strictly toward the athlete….

I’ve always wanted to go to Boulder Colorado, but it took my husband doing an Ironman race for me to get there. We stayed right downtown just a block from the famous Pearl Street Mall. That meant it was easy walking to shops and restaurants and there are many. That said, it’s also an easy town to get around in driving wise. We happened upon…

With summer here, I’m sure you’ll be invited to a few parties, which means you need to bring along a hostess gift. Instead of the usual bottle of wine or flowers, think a bit outside of the box and bring something unexpected. Think what you would love to have, but never buy for yourself or something you could really use. Plus, you don’t have to…

Everywhere we travel as a triathlon family means we must have three things… A bike to ride. A pool for laps or open water. A long distance treadmill or safe area to run outside. Now these items, of course, are for the triathlete. But what about the family? Isn’t the most important point of a vacation the happiness of the whole family? Traveling with a…
