We trisupporters are all…

I struggle to fit my loved one’s training schedule together with his and my work schedules (I work full time), so that we actually get to see each other and spend some cherished, fleeting moments together. It’s at these times that…

This is a very bitter sweet time for me. The race season starts for my trihubby at the first of the year and the kids are headed back to school after 18 days at home, but do we have a season?
