For us, life with a triathlete has meant big changes in our day-to-day activities, vacations, personal life, dealing with the kids, etc. So, we decided to look at what has worked and what hasn’t for us, to keep harmony…

Many restaurants in town participate and there’s a great party in the streets. I could find only one mention of the Awards Banquet on the Ironman site, but I’m assuming it’s being held. I hope so,…

While it sounds like a really good idea to bring Fido along with you, I wonder if it is always in everyone’s best interest. Now, don’t get me wrong – I’m the…

We have found over the years that living with a triathlete provides many unforgettable and often unbelievable statements that give pause. Some of what comes out of their mouths just has to be shared. But, we’ve also found it’s not just the triathlete that utters these comments; we’re often just as guilty as is the rest of the family. So, we decided in the spirit of being…

I recently was unable to attend one of my husband’s races. In all the years he has been doing triathlons, I have been to almost every single one, seriously. There were several local races in the early years that he went to with his first coach and good friend and I stayed home. But since then, I’ve tagged along as cheerleader, shoulder to lean on,…
