Audio: Tom Petty on a tape loop at the California Kids’ triathlon in Davis (American Girl keeps playing in my head), big cheers for the last girl out of the pool in Zed’s heat, Django saying “Nana” as he reaches for me
Visual: Zed’s burst of power, pumping arms and legs across the finish line
Olfactory: a bursting jasmine bush in Jan and John’s lush garden
Kinesthesia: Zed’s chewed bubblegum sweating in my hand as I look for a trashcan
Flavors: water, cold water, more water on a 100 degree day
The unexpected: the calm confidence of my son, even when his bike location eluded him in the transition area
