Hello! I dabbled with a few sprint tris a few years back, but now my teenage son wants to do tris. Of course I'm all about spending some quality time together. He's a very strong swimmer, so he's helping me with that part. I'm more used to marathons, but am getting used to the swim and bike. Excited to learn from all of you!

Have fun. Sounds like a great father-son activity. And since your son is a strong swimmer with your advice on run training he will probably place high in his age group relatively quickly.

Enjoy the ride.

Awesome that your son is interested. Tri has shockingly been something that my kids have interest in. Probably because I never ONCE pushed it on them. It was "my thing" and I never even considered asking them to participate. I've learned a valuable lesson in winning them over.

My 17 year old who generally wants nothing to do with me at the moment except roll his eyes at my Dad Jokes, out of the blue, decided he wanted to do a tri. I think he was legit impressed that his 46 year old former fat dad was able to complete a full IM.

Also, he would cringe that I used the word "legit". And "cringe".

But, I'm seizing the opportunity here and trying not to go overboard nutso with the idea and letting him direct the show at his own pace.
