Toady I registered for my first triathlon - sprint - in August.  I have been swimming a mile confidently for several months.  I finlly worked up to running 5K but it is still hard.  Weather has been a factor for cycling.  I have been out twice in the past week but had to cart my almost 4year old in a bike seat.  Has anyone else had to train with a child along for the ride?  Is this a good or bad thing?  It is certainly slowing me down but hopefully building muscle and stamina.  Any advice would be appreciated.
