Okay, the BF has only known me when I've been training for an IM. He's been great, going along with me on long rides and long runs and going home when I told him to (when the ride or run was nearly disastrous and I was miserable and just wanted to wallow in my misery). he's also worked on my bike, packed and unpacked my bike a few times (with out me asking...just does it), schlepped my friends all over the big island so they could cheer for me while he cheered for me too. he made sure I had beer at the finish line and kitkat bars and malasadas the next morning. He's watched my bike and clothes while I did ocean races and bought me many jamba juices after long runs.

Soo.... I need a gift for him. I've already got a night out to Mortons and tickets to Cirque de Soleil planned. But I did learn from the carrot vs chocolate cake thing in Kona, these are things I want to do and have been looking forward to for a long time. I need another gift for him.

The problem is, he's got everything. he is interested in getting into tris, he a great cyclist and a pretty damn good runner for just starting to run this year. I was thinking of paying for some swimming lessons for him. I don't think he'll really be interested in doing a tri, until he thinks he's a decent swimmer, and this winter is probably a good time for him to start swimming, so he can do a couple sprint tris next spring.

What do you gals (and guys) think?
