Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

Sunny and his Upstate Therapy Dog friends (Murphy and Hope) volunteering at the Greenville Memorial Hospital on Christmas week.  'Tis the season of giving thanks, showing appreciation and helping those in need. Thank you for supporting Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition in 2025. Through your support and purchases (ex. nutrition consultation, bike fit, private or group camp, Trimarni gear, etc.) we are able to support animal rescues. You are making a difference in our lives and in the lives of our furry friends and we are extremely grateful.  Our first donation in 2018 Since our first donation to the Greenville Humane Society in 2018, we have donated $6497 to a variety of animal rescues.  This year we are donating $500 to  Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control . This shelter is near and dear to our heart because Sunny was taken to this high-kill shelter after he was found abandoned in an apartment. This shelter is constantly at a crisis-level due to severe ove...

Lessons Learned From Traveling to the End of The World Traveling to a remote corner of Chilean Patagonia felt a bit like stepping outside of time. The roads stretched endlessly without traffic lights, the wind roared intensely at its own rhythm, and the towering mountains put everything into perspective. Patagonia was a place where nature was raw, vast, untouched and beautifully wild. After 10 days in Patagonia, we returned home and went right back to our normal routine - a lifestyle that often feels rushed, stressful and structured around tight schedules and convenience. Patagonia offered us something very different: a slower rhythm, a deeper quiet, and a refreshing recalibration of what life can be like. I feel incredibly fortunate to have traveled to five continents and immerse myself in such a wide range of cultures. Each journey has challenged me, expanded my views, and has reminded me how much there is to learn from the ways other people live. From rushed city life to remote livi...

As an athlete, you know you need to fuel properly to train, recover, and stay healthy. And to help, there are apps, experts and articles to keep you accountable to eating enough. But if you struggle with your relationship with your body, that dissatisfaction can silently interfere with your ability to eat enough, fuel your workouts appropriately and support your body with the nutrition it deserves. In simple terms: 👉 When you respect your body, you give it what it needs. 👉 When you dislike your body, you withhold fuel. A healthy body relationship removes emotional roadblocks so that fueling can be based on science, health, and performance. 

  Patagonman Finisher  An extreme triathlon at the end of the world I find it serendipitous that our 50th newsletter of the year is occurring a few weeks before the beginning of Karel's 50th birth year of life and I am writing about an event that Karel has dreamed of finishing for the past few years.  On December 7th, Karel took on  Patagonman Extreme Triathlon . We did everything possible to get him to this start line — but what lied ahead were 140 miles of uncontrollables. We woke up at 2am after a night of no sleep. At 4am, he boarded a ferry in the dark and at 5:30am, he jumped into the fjord (55 degrees - much warmer than usual), and swam 2.4 miles back to shore (1:08). From there, a 110-mile point-to-point ride with over 8,000 ft of climbing, gravel, cobbles, wind and whatever Patagonia decides to throw at him. He finished the bike in 5:50. And then, a 27-mile run with 3250 feet of gain, all off-road, through technical forest trail...

  I have a lot of pictures to upload but the internet is a bit slow in our Airbnb(s) so I will upload pictures later on. If you'd like to see more pics from our trip, you can check out my Instagram page.  Monday  After a delicious dinner at D-Lizia (I got a huge pizza and Karel got a burger), we went back to our cabin and had a relaxing evening. Sadly, Karel woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in his right leg. He thought it was a blood clot but we later put some pieces together that it was likely coming from his disc and SI joint. He couldn't bear weight on his leg and he said it felt like his leg was broken. It was really scary as it came out of no where when he got up to pee in the middle of the night. Even when we got up in the morning, Karel was still unable to walk normally. He decided to try a spin to see if that would help loosen it out. I drove him 15 min up the road (up the last descend of the bike course) and he went out for an 1+ hour rid...
