For those of you tuning in from the triathlon side of the world, here is the state of my training program:
My next tri - a sprint - is coming up the first week in June. I've done this one twice before and placed in my age group last year. Right now I'm riding my bike a lot back and forth from work. It takes about an hour each way and means I fill up my gas tank much less frequently. Sometimes I swim, about once a week right now. I swam diligently throughout the winter and have had about enough of very early mornings and chilly chlorinated water, thank you. Sometimes I run, mostly around the neighborhood and not very fast. Increasingly I just walk the dog. She's happy, I'm happy, and really, who the hell cares?

I envy your long bike commute, my ride to work is only 4 miles. Like you I have small humans (3yo and 18mo old) that are waiting for me at home, so long bike rides are scarce for me.
I suppose you could ride in circles, but you're right that the small humans cut down on training time. I'm just working mine up to the point where he can do a few things with me (at age 5).
has your son seen you race yet? does he want to do it too? im bringing wife and kids to camp out in Pleasant Creek for the whole weekend. Im hoping she will catch the bug, because right now she is about to kill me for obsessing about triathlons.
My son has been at all my races. He generally loses his mind and shrieks when he sees me go by. He's not big enough yet to do triathlons, but he does kiddie foot races, so I think we're on the right track. ;)
