Now, we’re back to show how you rock behind the scenes. You know, all those things you do for your triathletes…

One of our readers, Anna Vlasova Barney, had her first experience as a spectator this summer at Ironman 70.3 Timberman in Gilford, NH. She was so excited and wanted to share her experience with all of you. Since this day is a distant memory for all of us, we thought it might be nice to have a refresher course on what it’s like to be…

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…

Update: This post is current as of 10/31/17. We can’t believe we actually won’t be at Ironman Florida this year. We’ve been there for quite a few years in the past.

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…

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…

When I went with Carl to the Ironman 70.3 WC in Mont Tremblant, I was going to work this time – for the first time. I have always just gone to have a vacation and of course, to be his trisupporter. In the beginning, I spent many races by myself, but once he got into the sport, we met many friends and so now, I’m…

Have you ever just watched the behavior of triathletes and trisupporters before a race? When I was recently at a triathlon, I decided to do something I really had never done with any purpose before – just be an observer. I wanted to see what people do and how they act before a race and had my camera at the ready. I decided to make…

Life with a triathlete has its emotional ups and downs, but luckily, I have to admit, mainly ups. Once in a while, however, you are hit hard. Most of you probably know by now that my trihubby was hit and injured by a drunk driver on a training ride a few months ago. It was a huge event for my family and we are learning…
