Trick or Treat for Athletes
By Joe Nuss
My kids have miserable choice in candy. After parading them around for several hours on Halloween last year, I emptied their bags prepared to take my cut in candy-commission, but was shocked at what I found – nary a piece of chocolate. Hard candy? Taffy? What in the world!?!?!
This year, I’m taking matters into my own hands. Instead of dressing up like Harry Potter or the Mad Hatter this year, I’m wearing my best cycling outfit and bringing my latest SWAG bag. When we hit an athlete’s house, I’ll demand some energy bars or electrolyte drink. If your kids have poor choice in candy like mine, don your favorite running shorts & shirt, cycling clothes, or tri shorts & singlet and bring your latest SWAG bag like me!
Here are a few things you might want to keep on hand should I show up at your house!
