We love Ironman 70.3 Puerto Rico and it’s always at the top of our race list. I will say, though, there are a few things to pay attention to as a spectator. It’s not a super stroller-friendly race. Although there’s only one transition area, the swim-in is a haul and getting back to swim-out can be difficult. And, if you are not a bit of…

David and I were in Puerto Rico last year for the Ironman 70.3 and had such a great time. Syd came down and brought one of her friends to hang out with. We rented an apartment in Old San Juan and had plenty of time to explore; and explore we did. We were lucky enough to spend the week before and after the race just…

And, we always eat local. We look at all the reviews and tour books, then we turn to people in the know – the locals! If we know someone who lives…

It’s hard to believe that after the year we had in 2014, we are now just 30 days away from the first race of the season. I have to admit I’m very happy it’s a 70.3 and not a full Ironman. Selfishly, it’s a shorter day for the family…and for him, I’m still a bit on edge nearly 9 months after he was hit by…

We believe that life should be done well. From travel to food to fabulous finds, life should be lived with gusto, style, and sparkle, along with generosity and kindness. Because a life done well isn’t just about a luxury lifestyle, but it’s a great start!
