But, the truth is, you need to think twice before registering if you’re going to be traveling with the kids in tow. Of course, there are a few basic things to keep in mind when deciding if the location is right for your family,…

A recent trip to Hawaii was the first time in many years that my husband and I have been to Kona when NOT going for the Ironman World Championship. It was an actual vacation. Yeah! I was thrilled to be going back to Hawaii, because I’d have an actual playmate. See, when he is in Kona for the race, I’m pretty much on my own,…

When you plan a vacation with a triathlete, there’s certainly the usual considerations that we’ve written about before like: Is there easy access to training, such as a pool/lake? Will you have to bring the bike or can you rent one? Are there kid friendly activities nearby to keep the family occupied? Will you have access to training essentials, such as nutrition? But, there are…

Well, I’ve got two very scary words for you – triathlon and teenager. Put them together and you really need to step up your game. Once your kids reach their teenage years, they are really starting to establish lives of their own. With their busy schedules, your training, and the craziness of life, it is less about finding time to train than it is about…

No matter the reason, there is one thing they all have in common – it can zap the joy out of a vacation quickly! From traveling with a ton of tri gear, including bike boxes, then making sure you…

My husband’s last triathlon this year was in March at Ironman 70.3 California and that’s it for the rest of the year. I have noticed changes in him, which I will write about at a later date, but since this reality set in, I have surprisingly noticed a change in my attitude and have experienced a whole mixed bag of reactions throughout this summer. So,…

It’s that time of the year again! TRI SEASON!!! You’ve probably already been out there spectating, but if not, will probably have the opportunity very soon. We’ve already got 4 races under our belts! So, we thought we’d put together some must have items for the well-prepared triathlon spectator on race day, both going solo and with kids. It can be a difficult day…

I recently had a conversation, well text conversation, with a fellow triwife who was out on the course supporting her triathlete. He’s been out of the competition for a while with several injuries and surgeries and is just getting back into racing this year. While she was with a group of other triwives and trisupporters through the swim and bike, their triathletes were ahead of…

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…
