The Triathlete (Paperback)

Wyatt Reid lives in a run-down duplex with a mother who he sees as nothing more than an occasional sticky note on the fridge. When he's not trying to scrounge up scraps of food from the lady at the convenience store down the street, the lady who has a new name each week, he tries to stay off the radar of the malevolent school bully, Cyrus. The summer before Wyatt is set to start high school, he's coerced by Cyrus to break into a house. While Cyrus makes off with an expensive triathlon bike, Wyatt's left taking the fall for everything. He gets busted by the bikes owner, an obsessed elite triathlete named Cole. Cole's roommate, a trust-fundee named Kevin, takes pity on Wyatt after he's released from juvenile hall. Despite Cole's objections, Kevin gives Wyatt a chance to right the situation by letting him work off his debt by doing housework. As Wyatt works, he builds a rapport with Cole and begins training on his own to escape the negative realities of his own life. He will have to go toe-to-toe with Cyrus to defend his best friend with Down's Syndrome, Rudy, and his boyfriend, Riley.
