Triathlon Parents

Triathlon Parents Training for an Ironman is a daunting task. This is the story of Triathlete Parents tackling their adventures, together. Oh, and the dog.

It is a selfish sport – where training and preparation consumes all available free time, and your life, for an entire year. Imagine doing it with a demanding career. Now imagine doing it with a spouse, and kids. Now imagine doing it with 2 careers, 2 young kids – and your spouse. What began as a blog of Greg and Monique’s journey to tackle Ironman Lake Placid 2014 together, became a community for

other Triathlete Parents who were clamoring to make it all work. Read it and weep, or potentially get inspired to try it on your own.

Luck played a large role in my race at Roth. Has it ever played a role in your races?

I am a true believer that luck is the combination of preparation and opportunity. And avoiding bad luck is as fortunate as receiving good luck. Long distance triathlons are a haven for both. It happened to me at Lake Placid in 2014 when the on coarse bike mechanic arrived seconds after my inner tu...

Mark Maloney, 37, was with colleagues at the The Old Thameside Inn on Bankside, when he was alerted by the mother’s screams for help. Insuran...
