We are thrilled to have pro triathlete, Brandon Marsh, up first in our Coaches’ Corner. Brandon is most recently known for his “1st out of the water” at Kona, but he also just happened to take second place at Ironman Mont Tremblant this summer. He started doing triathlons in 1988 and turned pro in 2003. He has consistently been a top-10 and top-5 performer. We know…
Continue readingOFF SEASON – If they haven’t already, most triathletes are coming to an end of their race season and entering what is affectionately known as “off season.” We have been wondering amongst ourselves what exactly defines “off season” and wondering if it truly exists – our triathletes seem to work hard year round. We decided to take it to the people who know best –…
Continue readingMy story, well really, a great one in my book. One I have worked really hard for. It starts many, many years ago, but for tri purposes, this life started in 2007 and wow, I am so happy it did. Back in 2007, our family relocated from the west coast of Florida to Austin, TX.

The TriWives had the distinct pleasure to chat with Dave Orlowski, one of the original 1978 Ironman, who finished 3rd by the way. Over the years, Dave has taken on the role of both racer and spectator, so he was able to offer a unique perspective for this interview. Dave actually did not do another Ironman until 2008 for the 30th anniversary in Kona. Since…

I never thought this would happen in our household – my triathlete husband literally stopped training. There are no more 4am workouts in the basement; no more swims after work; no more 7-hour bricks on the weekends. We now actually go out to dinner at 8pm, since he’s not getting up early. I’ve seen movies on Saturday afternoons AND nights. He goes grocery shopping with…

Big news – we’ll be going to both the 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant and the World’s in Kona!!

Do you know Dave Orlowski? If not you should!!! He is one of the Original Ironman, who finished 3rd in the 1978 event and is still racing. Today, however, he is a spectator at Ironman Wisconsin. He had this great recommendation for us: “Cheer and yell loud for the athletes coming out of the swim. I used to clap, but after 17 hours my hands…
