Weekend Athlete, a Ford Focus and the Tri-ing for Kids Triathlon
Most times when I’m competing I have to rent a car to get where I’m going, and sometimes that means getting stuck with one that wouldn’t be my first choice. Such was the case when I got a sedan for my latest camping trip/triathlon adventure. And not just any sedan — a compact sedan.
