One of our readers, Jen, was kind enough to put her feelings down in writing about being a triwife, living the triathlon lifestyle, and what it has meant for both her relationship with her husband, the triathlete, and her family. We were so moved by her honesty, humor, and candor that we are thrilled she let us share it with you…ENJOY. We’re sure you can…

Hey, I know it’s only February, but I’m thinking spring. The trihubby is already in training mode and focused on his first race coming up at the end of March. Me, I’m thinking about my own spring training as a triwife. I can’t just rest on last year’s laurels, after all. There are things to do and actually people to see to prepare myself for…

It all started at 5:45AM last Tuesday when I got this text… Couldn’t believe it. Enough already. Why is it that when my triathlete hubby, who has been training to get back in condition after months off from being hit by a car, has this happen the week “in-season” training starts? I know stuff happens and I am so lucky he is able to train…

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…

We have now been on The Big Island since late last Thursday night and time has flown by. I can’t believe THE race is almost here. I keep hearing, “I have nothing to prove” interspersed with “I’m a little wound up right now.” I’ll just let him have his period of schizophrenia….. Was very happy to run into one of our fellow racers at breakfast…

We’re getting closer and closer to THE DAY…..Kona bound. I’ve now heard, “My mind’s in Kona” multiple times to be precise. The bike has been packed up, delivered, and per Tribike Transport’s message, picked up and on it’s way to heaven. The shirts and pants have been separated in the closet into “what I’m taking to Hawaii”. The spare bedroom has become more cluttered with…
