Last fall, I posted here at Mile High Mamas about my first sprint triathlon and how I’d caught the competitive bug. Granted, I was pretty competitive already, but only where it came to Scrabble games. Athletics, not so much.

I’m lucky; two out of my three kids still don’t really care about having a birthday party with their friends. Get them a bouquet of mylar balloons, let them lick the icing off the tops of a few cupcakes, and they’re set for another year. Presents are even optional at this point.
