Figured I’d give this a shot…
My 8 yr old son, who possesses plenty of desire, “raced” his first triathlon this weekend. Without too much encouragement from me he’s decided that he really digs this sort of stuff. For those of you with little fries, you’ll know how this feels. On one hand, I’m thrilled that he has interest in an activity that’s healthy and one that will likely teach discipline and self confidence… On the other hand, he might be needing more tri “stuff”. My humble submission to those who have children that have upgraded to bigger and better things a request for:
**- triathlon clothing (e.g., tri shorts and tri/cycling tops). **My son is tougher than me and wore his sopping wet beach shorts…
- an über-small roadbike- perhaps something w/650 wheels, or even better, 24" to accommodate his smaller stature. a short top tube and low standover height is likely the determining factor here.
looking to save some money by buying used. He’s currently riding a 20" mountain bike with some recumbent slicks but would love to buy him a quality, used road bike.
shoot me a pm if you’ve got anything that fits the bill.
