Using real food in training can get difficult, not only in terms of convenience, but for making sure it’s nutritionally what’s needed for your athlete. Plus, I find that so many of the recipes for bars and whatnot have too much in them and we like to keep it simple and clean. We’ve been playing around – yes I say we, meaning me and my…

Being married to a triathlete during the holiday season can be a blessing and a curse. After years of living this lifestyle, I have learned how to use it to my advantage, but please, no one take that personally! The holidays are filled with open houses, fundraisers, events, dinners, and parties. This week alone, Sunday-Saturday we could have been out 7 nights at 13 different…

He is a regular contributor to Triathlete magazine, Lava magazine, and Triathlete Europe, and has been featured in many other publications, including the Wall Street Journal and Men’s Health. Matt is also an exercise physiologist and coach to pros such as Meredith Kessler,…

As most of you know, being a triwife or tripartner is not always an easy job. It has it’s moments of pure joy, like when they cross the Kona finish line with a huge smile on their face, but it also has it’s moments of pure agony, like when they are hit by a car riding their bike – we’ve lived through both. Then, there’s…

Wow, I seriously can’t believe I’m writing this already and that we went from Kona bound to Ironman Kona 2014 as a thing of the past…It went by quickly and this triwife survived unscathed. I am now back home and life has returned to my normal… I have to say that this was one of those RARE, pretty much perfect vacations, for me at least. The…

I had the distinct pleasure to sit down poolside in Kona with purplepatchfitness coach, Matt Dixon. Matt is coach to pros such as Meredith Kessler, Tim Reed, and Jesse Thomas, just to name a few – not to mention some trihubbies we know. I asked him questions related to the role of trisupporters in triathlete training and we discussed what both groups need to do…

I love to hear the back stories of products. When I heard the Maddy and Alex story, I got very intrigued and had to try their products. As undergrads at the University of Denver, they decided to start a health food company, because they believe that everyone should have access to healthy food. While they wanted to have great products, they also wanted to make…

Do triwives and triathletes pick race locations for the same reason? What are their favorite race venues and why? Which races are on their wish lists? Well, I recently attended the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant and decided to take full advantage of being around all these triwives and triathletes at the same time. What better time to find the answers to these…

You can’t believe the number of photographs we have taken of our triathletes from all of their races – well, you probably actually can if you’ve been a trisupporter for any length of time. You start off wanting to get EVERY shot of your triathlete you possibly can. You are so proud of yourself and can’t wait to show them the shot you got of…

We all have husband/triathletes who travel for business, yet still have to train during these trips. If it’s off season, it’s not too difficult to plan for, but if it’s in season and close to a race, more thought needs to go into what’s available at the location and what to pack, especially if it’s more than just an overnight trip. Tri gear can take…
