I was off on a 3 week adventure when Ricardo sent me this wonderful, sexy new hard case 4 wheel roll on. I am one of those “stuck on my luggage” people. I like what I have been using for years, only because it’s what I know. But, I have aways had hard case envy when I see them rolling through the airport. I was…

This is one type of travel that doesn’t happen to us often, but recently did. It’s going on a couples vacation when only one couple decides to bring a child. It’s one thing when you both have kids along, because your situations are similar and it’s family travel and all that entails. Both of you will most likely want to do similar activities. We’re assuming…

Summer is here, YEAH, which means crisps are made weekly at my house for dessert! And my new favorite is a strawberry rhubarb crisp. You see, I love fresh local food, so which crisp I make depends on what I find in season at the Farmer’s Markets. This week, I found gorgeous strawberries and rhubarb, so I will make a Strawberry Rhubarb crisp. But, in a…

Vacations take on a whole new meaning when you live with a triathlete, especially when it’s in the middle of race season. UGH, the stress. Granted, this is something we try to avoid, but it doesn’t always work out that way. Plus, sometimes I JUST NEED A VACATION! So, in those cases when you need to take a vacation in the middle of race season,…

I am just so thrilled that summer is finally here. Aren’t you? On the one hand, I want to do nothing but sit on my patio in the chaise lounge, cool drink in hand, no phones or computers and enjoy the sun and warmth on my body. But, on the other hand, I want to take advantage of being able to be outdoors while getting…

THE TRIPARENT…This was a category of trisupporter I had not really thought about – especially the triparent to the single triathlete. What really brought it home to me was meeting a lot of you last year at races. I was first introduced to you through Karen, who stood next to me at Rev3 Quassy and was there cheering on her daughter for the first time….

This Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner will make your dinner choice and clean up a breeze. And who wouldn’t love that! There are so many nights I really don’t want to do the dishes, I mean who does? But, this is especially true for me in the summer when I’d much rather be outside. Plus, I have the twins home, so I’m trying to get as…

Living with a triathlete has both its rewards and punishments; its ups and downs! Since rewards are so much better, we thought we’d share with you some tips to keep the punishments to a minimum. We’ve collected a few tidbits of good information over the years, as we’re sure most of you have. So, let’s make all of our lives just a bit easier AND…

I had a very interesting thing happen at my last triathlon. I was lucky enough to be at the race with an amazing group of wives from the Ironman XC group. But, I got separated; then the twins went for waters; and then this happened… I found myself standing next to a trisupporter who literally complained about everything the entire time we were together. Granted,…

Most of us married to triathletes have an active role in what nourishment they put into their bodies. I, probably, am more active those most as cooking is one of my true loves. I spend a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen, talking to experts, and reading. So, when it comes to fueling David for his training and races, I feel it’s imperative that…

Last summer, my trihubby and I went to the Jarden Westchester Triathlon to support a friend who was doing his first Olympic Distance race (shout out to Bob – so proud of you). While it was Bob’s first race, it was also my first pure spectator’s race. I realized every triathlon I have attended was because Carl was racing. I had never been to one without…

I travel a lot, but more often than not, it’s based on my husband’s triathlete training and race schedule or the kids’ activities and not my dream vacation. But, every once in awhile, I take the opportunity to travel just for me and go where I want. See, I’m quite happy and comfortable to travel solo – which I realize makes me something of…
