You know triathlon is mainstream when....

I wonder if Craig Alexander (a.k.a. the "human winner") knows he hit the big time being the subject of my child's messy homework??

Incidentally, after I finished my workout and Grant finished Karate (both at the same gym), the kid took me through an ab workout - Roman Chairs, bicycles, and Russian Twists. He's quite the taskmaster.
