Going International! Travel tips for athletes

I sure do love my triathlon lifestyle but it's not an easy process to pack for a 3-sport race! Karel and I love to travel and we love to race so it is a wonderful opportunity when we can combine two things that we love in one trip.  We are just a few days away from embarking on one incredible journey! Not only do we get to use our body to cover 140.6 miles but we get to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles on June 29th in Austria!  This is our first international race and my second trip to Europe  so I am sure we will learn a lot during this journey but I am excited for all that we will experience during our race-cation.  I will be sharing lots of pics and posts via social media so be sure to stay up-to-date with our travels (including a trip to Karel's hometown in Znojmo, Czech Republic):  Facebook: Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition Twitter: Trimarnicoach Instagram: Trimarni Traveling to another country is no...

This pic was taken of Karel in Italy at the age of 20. Just a few years before taking a risk that would change his life.   Although many people know Karel as a talented cyclist with a strong European accent who is a perfectionist that never gives up, I know Karel as a dreamer. Someone who wanted so much more out of his life and was willing to take chances to achieve a great life.  When you mention the word immigrant, there are many thoughts that pop into your head (good and bad).  Regardless of where you live, I think we all aspire for a quality filled life and perhaps appreciate the freedom we have in our life. Perhaps for many, the American Dream is what draws people to this United States but I believe that there are many amazing places in this world to live and countries filled with dreamers, doer...
