Power of Three

Power of Three

3 races registered -

an aquathlon, a duathlon and a 10K.

3 PRs courtesy of friends:

a sub-50 swim-run, a sub-2hr dua,

and an awesome 51min foot race.

3 DNS in 7 days

all because of a calf muscle

that cramps when pulled or stretched!

3 times I've got this:

One coming out of pool lap in NAGT LB,

Two jumping on a VFF photoshoot,

Three going for a giant, air-filled Earth Ball.

3 weeks I set aside to tame my calf;

3 weeks are all I've got before Subit;

3 weeks to bring down my weight,

with only swimming as my exercise.

Sigh. sigh. sigh.

But the Power of Tri is such,

that a man is compelled to surge on against the odds

On May 1, I rely alone, on 3 years of tri wisdom,

and maybe some favors from gods

Neptune, Mercury and Mars.
