Overview

What happens when an empty-nest couple turns a passion for road trips and the outdoors into their next adventure together? In Triathlon Adventures Across America, Terry and Joy VanderWert embark on an extraordinary quest to complete a triathlon in all 50 states-turning each race into an opportunity for adventure, discovery, and adding to the memories from their 50 years of marriage. From 2011 to 2023, the couple crisscrossed the country, experiencing both well-known tourist attractions and hidden gems, meeting new friends, and reconnecting with family and existing friends. As Terry raced, Joy often volunteered-sometimes having the more interesting stories to tell. Along the way, they navigated career transitions, cross-country moves, and the challenges of endurance sports, proving that it's never too late to embrace a new adventure. This heartfelt memoir is a testament to resilience, active aging, and the joy of shared experiences. Readers will find: Inspiration for Active Aging - Terry's triathlon journey, which began in his late 50s, proves that fitness and adventure have no age limit. A Front-Row Seat to America - Through their travels, the VanderWerts uncover the beauty, diversity, and unexpected magic of all 50 states. The Power of Partnership - More than a travelogue, this story highlights how shared goals and adventures strengthen relationships. For anyone who loves travel, endurance sports, or uplifting stories of transformation, Triathlon Adventures Across America is a celebration of living boldly and intentionally-one swim, bike, and run at a time.
