Several weeks ago, we asked you guys to share with us your favorite triathlon moments from 2014 and you came through. From what you wrote, it sounds like a lot of people had a very significant year and we are thrilled for all of you. It seems like a lot of “firsts” were happening out there. Here’s what a few of you had to say:…

We so loved your responses to our Hooked on Triathlons – The Making of a Triwife, that I decided to pose a question to fellow triwives/partners at Ironman Arizona. Here were some of your responses both to the article and to my question, “What is the one, best piece of advice you would give to a new triwife/partner to handle life with a triathlete?” Since many…

I read a post by our good friend, Rebecca Darling, of R We There Yet Mom, called Top Ten Travel Moments of 2014 and loved it. It got me really thinking about our top triathlon moments of the year, so I decided to use Rebecca for inspiration. This year was VERY eventful for us, both good and bad. So, we thought we’d revisit a few special…

Whew, we did a lot of posts this past year. Can’t believe we had it in us. Well, we did get a bit of help from some guest bloggers, including Lindsay Berkebile, and coach Matt Dixon of purplepatchfitness. These “Greatest Hits” represent what you, our readers, found either to be most pertinent in your lives or most fun to read. Either way, journey back with us….

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…

At this last race in Arizona, I spent a lot of time chatting with the people standing next to me. Very often they initiated the conversation and almost every time, they were seeing their very first triathlon and who they were supporting was doing their very first triathlon. They were so excited to share how their daughter, friend, or husband got into triathlons and were…

We picked a few of our favorite triathlete holiday gifts this year and wanted to share them with you guys. We have raced Rev3 (or our triathletes have), tasted wines from OSC Wines (and definitely approve), and our triathletes have used Every Man Jack products for a few years now. So, all are tried, tested, and make us happy…. FAVORITE TRIATHLETE HOLIDAY GIFTS REV3 TRIATHLONS…

It was bound to happen at some point. After doing close to 20 full Ironman races, the odds are stacking against you. They say pretty much every triathlete encounters this during their “career”, including most pros. It’s just part of the sport. To what am I referring? Ugh…The DNF…. Well, it happened to my trihubby at Ironman Arizona. He had a really good swim, was…

None of us have ever been to Ironman Cozumel, but with the race coming up on November 30, we wanted to get you some information if you’re going. One of our readers, Nanci Hulting, was kind enough to provide us with some travel, food, fun, and spectating tips from when her husband did the race in 2012. For your information, it is a one-loop swim, a…

It has officially been six months since my husband, David, was hit by a drunk driver while out on a training ride on his bike (I still tear up when I say or write that). This past week was Ironman Arizona which was to be his “A” race of 2014. You can only imagine the emotion in our house race day, when he was tracking…

This post will be short and sweet. On the plane coming to Ironman Arizona, I read a feature in Bazaar magazine called, “What’s In Our Clutches?” My mind immediately changed clutches to backpacks and hence, the making of a new post was born. We’ve written an article telling you what you SHOULD have in your backpack, but I wanted to know what was REALLY in…

One of my friends joined our ranks this summer and is an official TRIWIFE. (I’m so proud). Actually, I’m so proud of both of them. We’re talking a late bloomer here people…I asked Holly to share her experience and tell us what it’s like to be a newbie and how we can help. Enjoy her story and be sure to let her know what tidbits…

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!
