Byron and I did the tri bike route today. It was easier than anticipated. The path James and have been riding has been good preparation. We swam in the lake after. It was neat to watch Byron thrive. His swimming form was perfect and he didn't need a wetsuit. He said he is comfortable swimming in the open water. He plays in a pool but usually swims in lakes when he is with friends and family.
We were famished afterwards. We stopped at the store as we were both craving veggie sandwiches. We picked up a tomato, red onion, fresh whole grain bread, Boca burger mock chicken patties and fruit. this opened up the opportunity for a discussion on nutrition and fitness. Byron seemed to get why gorging on sugar and candy or forgetting to eat breakfast would not be helpful in a triathlon.
He is pretty excited about training now. He wants a "real" bike, a road or tri bike as opposed to our giant non-aerodynamic mountain bikes. maybe next year.
