TRIATH-A-MAN!

I really enjoyed and appreciated all the comments and encouragement from my Race Day Reflections.

This is one I thought was especially creative…

Look! It’s a deer! It’s a train!
No, it’s Triath-A-Man!
No swim, no iPod, that’s OK
Triath-A-Man is here to stay!
With my scrapes and sprain I will not quit; I will not fail;
Triath-A-Man will not bail!
I will run, I will bike, I will run some more,
WATCH OUT old guy I’m coming for more!
As I huff and I puff and cross that finish line,
Thank you God for helping me shine!

Thanks Trust Family!

    BUDDY YOU ARE THE MAN!!! man I am so proud to be able to say that my pastor is Triath-a-man!
    And I have to say with your new accomplishment it has made me take a real look into my own accomplishments
    and well I too have decided that I would like to compete in a Triathlon myself and during my searches on
    training I came across these few links that I though you would be interested in if you have not already
    found them yourself there are http://www.tri4god.com and http://www.whenbigboystri.com they are pretty cool sites.

    Man GREAT JOB and now you are pushing me to do the same with not just my health but with my faith.

    Prayers Man!

    hmmm…Buddy after hearing that the swimming portion was cancelled, I hate to say this, but……technically you’re only a biathlete. BIATH-A-MAN so to speak.
