He told me he was afraid of losing

Earlier this summer, I signed up my 5-year-old son for a kids' triathlon -- a bike race, running race and water obstacle course. I was sure he'd be excited. He loves to race in the yard and pretends he' riding his bike in the Tour de France. But when I told him about it, he was adamant that he didn't want to do it.
